** Late Saturday evening, October 9, 1880, a train accident occurred
at Twenty-eighth Street on the Pennsylvania Railroad. These were two
of the victims of that accident. **
 
from The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette dated Monday, October 11, 1880 (page 1):
 
The casualty bore most heavily upon residents of Edgewood station.
Two sons of Mr John S LOVE, who was for many years resident engineer
of the company, were instantly killed. They had gone home in the
evening, intending to visit the Exposition, but having some doubt as
to whether they could get supper and make the train they intended to
take, were urged by Mrs LOVE to hurry up, so she would see that supper
was ready for them. They -------ingly got ready and started. They
were in the wrecked car in their return. Their bodies were taken by
Mr WARD, undertaker, of the South Side, by order of the Coroner, and
when friends went over there to have them sent back to Devore's that
they might be coffined to sending home, he gave them up very
reluctantly and wanted to know who was to pay for the expenses already
incurred. The bodies reached Devore's about 11 o'clock Sunday
-------- and were sent home on an extra train in the evening. These
two boys were as manly as boys could be, and were highly esteemed by
their acquaintances. One of them was his mother's pet, and her double
bereavement has fallen with crushing weight upon her. The whole
family have the deepest sympathy in their great sorrow.
