He was allegedly murdered when someone stuck a knife into his chest and then laid his body on the railroad tracks. A train did gruesome damage to the remains but did not cover the deed.

This man originally was listed here as a Civil War veteran of Co. A, 116th Pennsylvania Infantry. While there was a Samuel Foltz in that unit, he was killed in action at the battle of Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862, and therefore cannot be this man.
