John Kearns 

The almost lifeless body of John Kearns, a well known resident of Summerhill, was 
found by an engineer shortly after 12 o'clock last Sunday morning, lying between the rail 
road tracks about seventy-five yards below the local station.

Mr. Kearns had been over town and had left a barber shop shortly before 10 o'clock 
Saturday night.  He had to cross the railroad tracks to reach his home, which is a short 
distance below the station, and it is thought that he was struck by an empty engine as 
he was crossing the tracks.

Mr. Kearns was born in Summerhill township about thirty-six years ago.  He was the son 
of Philip Kearns who died four years ago, and is survived by his mother, three children, 
and two brothers.  The brothers are Daniel, at home; and Thomas of Conemaugh, who 
is an engineer on the PRR.

Funeral services were held Tuesday morning in the Catholic Church at Summerhill.  
Interment being in the cemetery at Wilmore.
