Younkin, Warner

YOUNG MAN LOST LIFE ON RAILROAD - yesterday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock, Warner 
Younkin of Confluence, met a horrible death at Salisbury Junction, when he tried 
to board a train for home. Early in the morning he and some friends reached 
Meyersdale to spend the day in town and at the Fair. He attempted to board the 
train against the advice of those who were at the Junction at the time and knew 
his intentions, with the termination of his life. His body was cut in two and 
his left arm was cut off at the shoulder. R. Reich & Son were sent for who took 
charge of the remains, and this morning J. F. Reich took the body to Confluence, 
on the Duquesne.

Meyersdale Commercial, Sept. 11, 1913
