July 25, 1917 FIVE FRIENDS KILLED Five Greek laborers, employes of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad, were instantly killed recently near Lowellville, Ohio, when run down by a fast passenger train. The men were working on the track and did not become aware of the train's approach. Ten others jumped just in time to save themselves. The five men killed were all personal friends of Louis G. Rouskey, proprietor of the Arcade restaurant and Arcade billiard hall in Stevens Point [Wis]. All come from Patras, Greece, which is Mr. Rouskey's birthplace. James Deodores, a cousin of Mr. Rouskey and who has worked in Stevens Point at times during the past year or two, was one of those who escaped death by jumping. He wrote that the train missed him by inches. Additional Comments: Published on Page 2 This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ File size: 1.3 Kb
