The Cambria Freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: August 16, 1872 August 16, 1872
Barnes, Samuel
At Portage, this county, last Monday, Samuel Barnes attempted to jump on a passing
freight train, but missed his footing and fell on the track. The car wheels passed
over one of his legs, and so dreadfully mangled it that amputation became necessary.
The unfortunate man survived the operation only a couple of hours. He was about 20
years old, and a resident of Bedford county. His remains were interred at Wilmore on
Wednesday.
