Evening Independent (Massillon, OH) 12-2-1949 December 2, 1949
Alfred Riesen, 47, of RD4, Alliance, a fireman on a west bound freight train 
of the Pennsylvania railroad sustained a broken left arm shortly before 8 a.m. 
today when he was struck by an undetermined object as his train was passing an 
eastbound freight near the 16th St. SE crossing.  Riesen was stunned by the 
blow and fell to the floor of the engine cab.  He was removed to an Arnold-
Lynch ambulance when the train reached the Massilon station, Earl L. Wolfe, 
agent at the local office of the Pennsylvania railroad reported.  An 
investigation into the cause of the accident will be made, Wolfe said.  Riesen 
was taken to the Massilon city hospital where authorities said he told them he 
remembered nothing from the time of the accident until he arrived at the 
hospital.  He had no knowledge of how the accident occurred, it was said.  
Hospital attendants reported his condition as apparently good.
