  Mrs. Mary Bush, wife of William Bush, was instantly killed by an east 
bound Pennsylvania empty freight engine at 11:30 yestderday morning 
within a few hundred yards of her home, which is about a half mile east 
of Bellwood.  When she met her death she was on her way to Bellwood to 
do some shopping, and carried with her a jar of milk, which she was 
brining to her sister, Miss Angeline Glasgow, of Bellwood.  The 
accident was viewed by Robert Cozzens, who is engineer of the 
stationary engine which supplies water for the track troughs.  Mr. 
Cozzens says it was done so quickly that he did not have time to hollow 
[sic] any words of warning.  She was 61 years old, and is survived by 
her husband, two sons and one daughter.  One son, William R., is at the 
family home, and Charles L. and Mrs. Alice Westley are both married and 
residents of Bellwood.  Her death is particularly sad on account of her 
husband, William Bush, who has been very feeble for the past couple of 
years, and who will in a few weeks reach his 80th year.
