5 December 1867 - The Tipton Advertiser

FATAL ACCIDENT - Joseph Sanderson, formerly a resident of this place, met with a sudden death on last Friday. He was acting as brakesman on a construction train on the railroad running west from Muscatine, and when a few miles from that place, fell from the train. Twelve cars ran over him and cut his body entirely in two. His remains were brought to Tipton, last Saturday, for interment.
