Additional Comments:
Note: My great grandfather received very little compansaion from this train 
wreck and because he was forced to retire because of his injuries, he lost most 
all his posessions and moved to Jackson, Michigan with his wife and they lived 
with their daughter, Leona and her family till his death. His wife,my great 
Grandmother, Maria Agnes Messing-Powers(Mary) or known to me as Meemo, moved to 
Illinois after Charles death and raised me till she passed away when I was 9 
years old. A wonder woman with a heart full of love.
