THE MAXWELL TRIBUNE, Maxwell, Iowa, Thursday, April 4, 1901, page 6. "A sad accident occurred at Huxley Friday morning which cost one of our popular traveling men, Mr. A. T. Davis, who is well known along this line, his life, and cast a pall of sorrow over his home, his fellow travelers, his customers and many friends. It seems he was a passenger on No. 92, the east bound way-freight, and while it stopped at Huxley to so some switching he ran up town to call on the trade. He hurried back just as the train was pulling out and attempted to board the front end of the caboose. Missing his step he was hurled under the wheels and so mangled that life was extinct before he could be picked up. His home was in Madrid to which city his remains were taken immediately after."
