From the Fulton Journal 28 April 1908

WOMAN KILLED AT SABULA.
Mrs. Frank Koehler Was Struck by Engine of a Freight Train.
A fatal railroad accident happened at Sabula last Friday afternoon that caused the instant death of Mrs. Frank Koehler, who accompanied by her daughter and another lady visited the W. B. Lovell green house in the afternoon and returning home they walked down the track. It was raining and windy and they had umbrellas up when the freight train approached them. When they saw the danger, Mrs. Koehler stepped on the outside track, which the train was on. She was struck by the cross beam of the engine and thrown some distance. When picked up it was found her neck was broken and her death followed almost instantly.
She is about seventy years of age and had been a resident of Sabula for a number of years.
