Virginian-Pilot  April 27 & 30, 1911
Telegram was received by Mrs. Nellie Henchy, of Myers avenue, Tenth ward, 
yesterday to the effect that her son, Fred Henchy, who left home last Monday
afternoon, is dead in New Haven, Conn. The following is the telegram which

was 
received by Mrs. Henchy:
Fred Henchy is dead. Order disposal of body.
(Signed)
“J. V. RALLESDORFER”
“Superintendent."
Members of the family, when communicated with last night, refused to discuss the 
matter, only to say that Fred Henchy left his home in Lamberts Point last Monday 
to go to New Haven. He is 28 years of age and the single son of the late Thomas 
Henchy.

New Haven, Conn., April 26 – 
(Special.) - While attempting to board a moving train near Gregory and Canal 
streets early this morning, Frederick Henchy was caught by the train and badly 
mangled. He was taken unconscious to St. Raphel’s hospital where both legs
were amputated. He suffered scalp wounds also and died about four hours later.
When picked up by the police at eight o’clock, he regained consciousness for a 
short time and said he came from Norfolk, Va. He was operated on in the hope of 
saving him.

The funeral of Frederick J. Henchy, who lost his life recently in a railroad 
accident in New England, was held at the grave in St. Mary’s cemetery yesterday. 
The service was conducted by Rev. Father R. A. Drake of the Sacred Heart Catholic 
Church. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Following were the pall-
bearers: Frederick Downing, C. Downing, Ross Genson and G. T. Elliott.
The remains of the deceased arrived here from New Haven, Conn., Friday night.
