Contributor's Notes:

  In 1940, an article in The Daily News of Huntingdon, PA, reported 
that John Zilius, a conductor, injured his left hand when it was 
crushed between two railroad cars. It was injured so badly that his 
hand had to be amputated.
  The obituary fails to mention that he was survived by his two 
children: Charles E., and Blanche. He was also survived by his wife, 
the former Grace Renninger, who died on September 8, 1976.
