Thomas Ruddy Instantly Killed.
Thomas Ruddy , of Novinger, (but formerly of Bevier), was instantly killed by being run over by a car of a passenger train near Novinger Tuesday morning, Jan. 3, 1905, at 5:40 o'clock. The news of his sad death was received her with much regret.
The facts of his death so far as we can learn are as follows: Last Monday Mr. Ruddy accompanied his sister, Miss Alice Roddy, as far as Milan on her way back to resume her studies at the St. Joseph Academy at Chillicothe, the young lady having been home at Novinger spending the holidays. Deceased stayed at Milan to attend a session of the lodge of Fraternal Order of Eagles Monday night and a friend of his from Novinger was initiated at said session. He and friend left Milan for home on the O. K. passenger train about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning and Ruddy went to sleep. When the train got to Danforth (1 1/2 miles from Novinger) his friend aroused Ruddy and both engaged in conversation for a few minutes with an acquaintance who got on at Danforth. The Novinger depot is some distance from the town and Ruddy said that to save walking back from the depot he would get off near the town and walked out to the platform, the train going at the rate of about six miles an hour. The acquaintance referred to followed him but seeing no trace of him re-entered the car and informed Ruddy's friend to that effect, and the latter fearing Ruddy had fallen off, notified the conductor who stopped the train and their worst fears were realized as they found him dead, the wheels of the car having passed over his body, the legs and part of body lying inside the track. The remains were removed to his home and it was a great shock to the relatives, who have the deep sympathy of all.
Deceased was the son of Mr. Patrick Ruddy, of Novinger. He was born in New Shannie, Mercer county, Pa., Feb. 18, 1877. The family came to Bevier Oct 11, 1885, and he lived here until about five years ago and since then had resided at Novinger. He was a young man of excellent qualities, well liked and very popular. We learn that he was to be united in marriage on Jan. 15 next, to a worthy young lady, which adds to the sadness of his untimely death. To mourn his death are left his father and five brothers and a sister. His father and three sons. Michael. James and Joseph, reside at Novinger, Martin is staying in Mendota, John lives in Bevier and his sister, Miss Alice, attends the academy at Chillicothe.
The remains, accompanied by relatives and a large number of friends from Novinger, arrived here on the 10:18 train Wednesday morning and were taken to the Catholic church where Rev. Father Healy of Macon, conducted the service. The interment took place in the afternoon and a large crowd attended the funeral. He was a member of the Bartenders' Union of Kirksville, of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and Imp. Order of Red Men, and the pallbearer were composed of representatives of the three lodges. War Eagle Tribe No 91, Imp. Order Red Men, of Bevier, turned out in a body and although having but short notice had nearly 100 members in line, and the lodge performed the impressive ceremony of the order at the grave in St. Joseph [sic] cemetery.
Deceased's father, and all of his brothers and sister were present at the funeral.
