Abe Harmon Meets Death on Grade Crossing Short Distance from His Home-
Cumberland, Md., Feb. 23 - Abe Harmon, 65 years old, a farmer living near Oldtown, Md., was instantly killed about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the team which he was driving was struck by Western Maryland Passenger train No. 2, on a grade crossing a short distance west of Oldtown. Harmon was hurled several hundred feet by the force of the collision, which demolished the wagon and killed one of the horses.
There is a clear view of the tracks for a long distance on each side of the crossing. County Coroner Joseph B. Finan went to the scene of the accident yesterday afternoon and it is his opinion that the man drove on the tracks without noticing where he was or the approaching train.
