CASTLEBERRY, HARRY - A young man working on the section at Weaver, was killed
by the west bound Cotton Belt passenger train Monday evening, near the Weaver
station. The east bound train had been at the station a few minutes when the
west bound train came in: Castleberry was working on the track with his back
to the way the train was coming; the train struck him on the shoulder and side
of the head. He undoubtedly heard the train, but the supposition is that he
thought it was the other train. The unfortunate young man was carried to
Cruther's Sanitarium at Mt. Vernon where an operation was performed on his
skull, but he died that night. The burial occurred at Richland cemetery,
services conducted by Rev. Parnell and Uncle Ben Sheppard. He leaves a wife
and child, mother, father, and sister. (Sulphur Springs Gazette, Feb. 1915)
(Richland cemetery is located in Hopkins Co., Texas - J. T.)
