Virginian Pilot July 1, 1898

Yesterday while performing the duties of his position as flagman on the Norfolk 
and Southern Railroad, Mr. H.F. Decker, a resident of this place, met with a 
very horrible death in the company's yard at Elizabeth City, being struck by a 
moving freight train. Mr. Decker was about 40 years old and was much liked by 
all who knew him. He leaves a wife, two children and an aged father to mourn 
their loss.

Information reached Berkley yesterday of the death of Mr. H.F. Decker, a flagman 
on the Norfolk and Southern railway. While the particulars of the sad accident, 
which occurred near the Elizabeth City junction, are not known, it is learned 
that Mr. Decker was mashed to death while engaged in coupling cars.
