Notes:

He was 18 years old and working on the Lobdell farm when he was struck and killed by a train when returning to the farm from a dance at night. He typically rode the freight train to Ogdensburg and it is believed he fell off between the cars.

"According to Coroner Allen, the youth had probably been hit by a fast freight train as he was returning from a dance at Cole's hall. Blood stains were found on his cap, the coroner said, and traces of blood were found about 15 feet from where the body was found."
