Killed En Route to the Almshouse!
Struck by a Train While Returning From a Visit

While walking back along the railroad from Lilly where he 
had spent Sunday with friends, Dennis McCall, aged 63 
years, an inmate of the County Home near here, was run down 
by a train Thursday morning and instantly killed.

Mr. McCall was well regarded by the almshouse authorities, 
being at all times cheerful and a good worker. Latterly he 
had been employed as hostler for Steward John A. Gray.  He 
got permission last Saturday evening to spend Sunday with 
friends at Lilly and walked the nine miles to that place.  
It is supposed that he was returning when, as he struck off 
from the highway to the railroad near Munster station, he 
was hit by the northbound passenger train.

The body was bought to Ebensburg on a special engine and 
conveyed to the County Home where it was prepared for 
burial. The funeral was held today.

Mr. McCall is not known to have any living relatives. He 
was admitted to the County Home from Barnesboro on January 
8th of this year.
