Elkader Register & Argus, Thur., 07 Mar. 1918. McGregor column.

Bill Leary, well known here, was killed near Clayton Monday night by one of the midnight passenger trains. It was reported that he was asleep on the railroad track and the train struck him before the engineer could stop. He was porter at the Zimmerman hotel here awhile and had many friends who are shocked at his tragic death.
