George Small of York, a retired engineer on the pension roll of the Northern 
Central Railroad, and one of the best known residents of York, died suddenly on 
Wednesday, May 8, from neuralgia of the heart, aged 80 years.  His wife, four 
sons and three daughters survive him.  At the time of the Southern occupation of 
York, Small was given charge of a train of valuables and ordered to escape 
across the river.  At Wrightsville Small removed the stack of the engine and 
carried out his mission, despite that he was pursued and fired upon by cavalry.
