Taken from McDonald Pa Outlook July 23, 1892

 A sad accident occurred at the McDonald depot last Sunday 
afternoon by which a man named ANTONOVSKI, living at Willow 
Grove, was killed.  He was waiting at the depot with the 
body of a child of his who had died the day before, 
intending to take it away on the train when he noticed 
an east bound freight approaching at a high rate of 
speed, and fearing apparently that the little coffin 
containing the remains projected too far over onto the 
track, ran to pull it back. But he was not quick enough 
in getting away and the train hit him, knocking him 
about twenty feet and injuring him so that he died in 
a few moments.  His wife and little girl standing by 
were terribly affected at being thus doubly afflicted.  
ANTONOVSKI was a Hungarian and worked in the Willow 
Grove mine.
