"KILLED BY THE CARS.
Wm. Churchman, residing in Philada., and son of John T. Churchman, of Calvert, fell from a freight train on last Saturday night and was terribly mangled. His head was gashed and one arm and both legs cut off. Churchman was a brakeman on the freight and was engaged in shifting at North Penn Junction, near Philada., when the accident occurred. He was taken to the hospital and regained consciousness but died within an hour. The deceased was 28 years of age and leaves a wife and two children who reside in West Philada. His younger brother Harry, who was also a brakeman, was run over about a year ago and suffered the amputation of a limb. William Churchman's remains were brought to the home of his parents and interred at Rosebank last Tuesday."
