Daughter of James Loynd and Mary Ena Earney
Miss Inez Loynd Meets Death On Bamberger - Last Friday afternoon at 2:19 o'clock, Miss Inez Loynd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Loynd, while returning from the farm of A. T. Rose, where she had been picking cherries, was killed by being struck by the north-bound Bamberger frieght train. The accident occured at the closed gate crossing near the top of Secrist hill. Just how the accident occured no one seems to know.
However, some who are acquainted with the facts think that the young lady was walking up the track in order to avoid insults and annoyance thrust upon her by young men in passing automobiles, due to the fact that she was attired in coveralls, which the cherry pickers wear while at work. The statement is also made that the girls who pick cherries are not accustomed to walk on the tracks or to cross.
At the time of the tragedy, the young lady was alone and there are consequently no witnesses other than the motorman whole statement was to the effect that he first saw Miss Loynd as she stepped across the east rail of the northbound track. Following the accident, measurements were made at the point of the accident and the evidence showed that her body had been dragged at least 195 feet.
The trainman immediately telephoned to the authorities from the home of Frank Rigby and assistance was immediately forthcoming.
The father was notified of the terrible accident by Mrs. A.T. Rose and later the mother was appraised of the death of her daughter. Funeral services were held from the North Farmington meetinghouse Sunday afternoon and were in charge of Bishop Arthur Hess.
