William T. Gilson, of Greensburg, Meets Death While Coupling Cars
Shortly before noon on Friday last, William T. Gilson, a freight brakeman on
this Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, attempted to make a coupling at
Conemaugh. He was caught between the cars and squeezed so badly that death
ensued twenty minutes after the accident happened. He was a resident of
Greensburg and had only been in the service of the railroad company for a short
time. He was twenty-eight years of age and married. His body, after being
encoffined, was taken to Greensburg the same evening on Mail Express.
