Daily Local News, December 27, 1904

This morning at 8 o’clock the dead body of Levi Dannehower, aged 65, a white 
resident of Honeybrook township, was found on the D. & L. R.R. tracks, near 
Waynesburg Junction.  The body was picked up and Coroner Troutman, of West 
Chester,(was) notified, who turned this case over to his deputy, Charles 
Griffith.  The body was taken to the establishment of W. J. Eppehimer, of 
Honeybrook borough, and a jury empanelled.  An external post mortem was hen 
made by Dr. Hoffman, and several witnesses examined.  It was shown that the 
deceased had come down the railroad to the junction, and after getting off the 
cars wandered around in a semi-bewildered and intoxicated condition, and 
finally fell over in the snow and died from exposure.
 The jury consisting of W.J. Eppehimer, Ralph Hampton, Dr. Hoffman, J.E. 
Biler, and William Bender, rendered a verdict in accordance with these facts, 
and the deputy will make an official return to coroner Troutman to that 
effect. The deceased who was an old soldier, had for a number of years resided 
in that section and worked around the neighborhood.  He had been twice 
married, but both wifes (sic)are now dead.  He leaves no children.  He has 
resided recently with a sister in Honeybrook, and the remains will be turned 
over to his relatives.
