"OSCAR SEAMANDS, BRIDGE TENDER, KILLED BY TRAIN.
Oscar Allen Seamands, 63, retired bridge tender of the Southern Pacific draw bridge over the San Joaquin river, was struck and killed by a passenger train near the bridge yesterday afternoon. Neither the train craw nor passengers on the train knew that he had been struck and his body was discovered by R. E. Young, a transient, who was walking along the tracks. The train crew did not know of the accident until informed of it by Coroner C. C. De Young in this city.
Seamands, who was widely known in the Lathrop and Banta section, as well as in this city, was in charge of the draw bridge for many years and was retired by the company about a year ago. Since that time he lived in a house alongside the bridge. Through many charitable deeds he made and retained a host of friends.
Mrs. Seamands was away from home at the time and it is thought that Seamands crossed the track and then in some manner fell under the middle part of the train. He was very deaf and this, in some way, may have caused the accident.
Seamands is survived by his widow, Mary C. Seamands; a sister, Mrs. L. LaFord of Tipton, and two brother, George Seamands of Placerville and Edward Seamands of Los Angeles.
He was a native of Missouri."
