His left arm and leg were ground off. He died at the Altoona hospital at 11:45 o'clock. Williams fired out of Derry, and was going east. When Lilly was reached he had occasion to leave his engine to flag. He went back some distance, while walking along the track, his lamp went out. He stooped to light it and while in the act, his engine ran back and struck him. His left arm was ground almost off at the shoulder and his left leg at the thigh. He was picked up and taken to the Altoona hospital. He was conscious and related how he had met with his injuries. An examination showed that they were fatal and that he could live but a short time. Everything was done for him to keep him alive, but he continued to sink, and at 11:45 o'clock, he passed away. He was 19 years of age and his home was in Dauphin county.
