BRUMBAUGH - FATAL ACCIDENT - On Saturday, October 26th, 1872, a fatal 
accident occurred on the Morrison's Cove Branch of the Pennsylvania 
Railroad between Martinsburg and Martinsburg Junction by which, Isaac 
S. Brumbaugh, an employee on the repair gang, was fatally injured. The 
circumstances as near as we could learn were as follows.  The gang were 
returning from work on the Hand Car.  Mr. Brumbaugh was engaged in 
turning the car, when by some means, the crank struck him, throwing him 
forwards on the track. The car passed over him and bruising his head 
and arms in a frightful manner.  He lingered in intense pain until 
Monday night, when his sufferings were ended by death.  His remains 
were entered [interred] to mother earth on Wednesday, by the Odd 
Fellows and Knights of Pythias, both of which organizations he was a 
member.                Echo.
