Death of Thomas Stein -- The Last Rites
from Wednesday's Daily Beacon
While starting from the Engine House to attend the fire this afternoon, the driver of the large hose cart, Mr. Thomas Stein, received a very dangerous injury. The horse started on a full run from the house and as he crossed the P.& O. Canal bridge on Main street, Mr. Stein was attempting to gather up the reins which had been hanging on the seat of the cart. As the cart dropped into the slight depression in the street on the north side, it jolted and threw Stein from his seat to the ground. Those who saw the accident, inform us that he fell head downward, turning over once and on reaching the ground laid with his feet downhill, directly in the track of the wheels, which passed diagonally across his neck and breast. He was taken to the Engine House and Dr. Howard summoned who pronounced his injuries to be of a very serious nature.
from Thursday's Daily Beacon.
Owing to the lateness of the hour yesterday when the accident which proved fatal to the fireman Mr. Thomas Stein occurred, we were unable then to give all the particulars of the sad occurrence. It appears that Mr. Stein, who was the driver of the hose cart No. 4, was just in the act of gathering up his reins and for that purpose was leaning over the front and left of the seat, when the left wheel of the cart dropped down from the bridge (near the Engine House). By this sudden movement he was thrown off and the wheel passed over his chest as described yesterday. he raised partly up, said "Boys, I'm killed," and fell forward on his face; from this time till his death, which occurred about 15 minutes after, he was apparently unconscious. The horse ran on with the cart, but was stopped at the Stone Mill.
Mr. Stein has always been known as a prompt, efficient and faithful workman, and since his coming to the city, about four years ago, has made many friends. He has served in the capacity of hose driver since last June. Previous to this he was for two years a member of the city police force, and was one of the very best of men for that duty. Before coming to this city, he was employed in the Munroe Falls paper mill, and was well known in Cuyahoga Falls and vicinity. Mr. Stein received the nomination for the office of constable of Portage township at the Democratic caucus last week, and was the only nominee elected on the township ticket of that party.
The members of the Department feel deeply the loss of their ever ready comrade, and the flag of the Central Engine House is draped in mourning and floats at half-mast. Hose cart No. 4, of which the deceased was a driver, is also heavily draped. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the residence of the parents of the deceased on South Main street, opposite Jackson street, and will be conducted according to the rites of the Masonic order, he having been a member of Star Lodge, No.__, of Cuyahoga Falls, which will be present. The different Masonic lodges of this city will also attend in a body, as will the members of the Fire Department and the City Council.
From Monday's Daily Beacon.
The funeral yesterday afternoon of the killed fireman, Thomas Stein, was by far the largest ever in the city. The beautiful condition of the weather, the fact that deceased was known all over the city and the circumstances attending his death, all united in drawing the people out and they came by the thousands. At 1 o'clock the procession began to form on Howard street, but it was not till nearly 2 o'clock that it took up the line of march to the late residence of the deceased on South Main, at the junction of Jackson street. By the time the procession arrived at the house, the street and neighboring cross streets were completely filled with buggies, carriages and pedestrians. By request of Robert Peebles, Worshipful Master of Star Lodge, No. 187, F.&A.M. of Cuyahoga Falls, Akron Lodge No. 83, officiated in the funeral rites. By a special request of the family and friends of the deceased, there were religious services at the house, conducted by the Rev. Carlos Smith, after which the Masonic services were read by Rev. R.L. Ganter. The crowd was so great that the viewing of the corpse was restricted to the family and relatives. The body was encased in a beautiful chestnut casket and though death occurred last Wednesday, yet the face bore a natural, life-like appearance. At the head of the casket was a beautiful engraved Masonic emblem, being an anchor with the word "Hope" in silver letters beneath it. On the opposite end engraved on a silver plate was the fireman symbol, crossed ladders, a hook, torch and cap. On top of the casket rested a beautiful anchor of natural flowers. The pall bearers were brethren from Star Lodge of Cuyahoga Falls. At about 3 o'clock the procession again formed and marched to Glendale Cemetery in the following order: City Police, Akron City Band, Star Lodge, No. 187, F.&A.M. of Cuyahoga Falls, Akron Lodge No. 83, F.&A.M., clergy, hearse and pall bearers, relatives in carriages, Fire Police, Steamer Company No. 1, Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, Hook and Ladder Company No. 2, Akron Junior Band, Hook and Ladder Company No. 3, Eagle Club and ex-firemen, ex-Chief John Hays, ex-Assistant R.L. Moffatt, city officials, and citizens in carriages. As the procession moved off, and until the cemetery was reached, funeral music was played by the bands. The procession was of such length that when the foremost had reached Exchange street those in the rear were not yet moving. Every cross street and available place the entire length of Main street to the Engine House was filled with carriages and people on foot. The outpouring was so great that the streets presented the appearance more of some great celebration than of a funeral. The carriages kept falling into line as the rear passed the cross streets until when the entire procession was moving it was at least a mile and a half in length and, with the people on foot, must have numbered at least 10,000 people. The large fire bell was slowly tolled as the funeral passed by the Central Engine House.
The crowd was not confined to Main and Howard streets alone but on High and Bowery streets also there were constant streams of vehicles on their way to the cemetery. The best view of the procession was obtained at Glendale where it resembled more the crowd on Decoration Day, nearly all the avenues being filled. The grave is in about the central portion of the south side and is beautifully located. The services here were conducted by Worshipful Master James Bardsley of Akron Lodge and Rev. R.L. Ganter. After the burial services the procession again formed and proceeded down Ash street to Mill and Howard street and then dispersed.
