The Cambria Freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: February 18, 1871 February 14, 1871
A brakeman named James Brady, employed on the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, was killed in the Yard, at this place, on yesterday morning, about eleven
o'clock. He had been in the employ of the Railroad Company in the Yard, at
Harrisburg, for some time past, but when he met the grim monster Death, was making
his first trip through on the Middle Division. His train, the fourth stock, had been
made up, and was about to leave for the East, when it is supposed that he fell off
the train and was struck by one of the trucks and thrown between the tracks,
breaking his neck and otherwise injuring him internally. His body was conveyed to
the "dead house," and the Coroner being notified, summoned a jury and held an
inquest, rendering a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Mr. Brady was about
30 years of age, and has a wife residing in Harrisburg, to which place his body was
subsequently forwarded for interment. Alt. - Tribune, 15th.
