The Shelby Republican
February 2, 1893
David Avery who was buried in the City Cemetery Thursday, was killed in the train yards at South Chicago.
He was in the employ of the railway; his duties being to weigh, seal and record the number of the freight cars sent out. He had sealed a car and stepped back to take the number at the same time watching an engine on another switch, but did not see a switch engine coming up behind him, and being somewhat hard of hearing did not hear it; he was run over and cut to pieces.
The burial here was without any services, services having been held in Chicago.
