Killed in a Collision.
Sunday
a message was received by Mrs. Millie [Mellie] Fuller (nee Klopp), which brought the heartrending intelligence
that her husband, Alfred S. Fuller,
had been killed in a railroad wreck at White Haven, Pa., at 3 o'clock a. m. on
Saturday, Jan. 5th.
Briefly,
the details of the wreck in which Mr. Fuller lost his life are as follows: He was in charge of
a car load of chickens for Rowley & Co. of Maryville, Mo., the car of
chickens having been shipped from Nebraska. The freight train on which Mr.
Fuller and a stockman in charge
of a carload of sheep were riding stopped at While Haven, Pa., to do some
switching. The trainmen left the caboose, a carload of sheep and one of dressed
beef standing on the main track.
While
Haven is situated at the fool of a steep mountain grade about three miles long
on the Lehigh railroad. A second section of the train on which Fuller and the stockman were riding came down this three
mile incline at a terrific speed (the trainmen on this train having lost
control of their train on account of the air brakes being out of repair) and
crashed into the caboose and cars that were standing on the main track, killing
the two occupants of the way car instantly and without warning, they being asleep.
The
body of Mr. Fuller was shipped
to this city for burial. An examination of the remains disclosed the extent of
the dead man's injuries to be a blow given with such force as to crush in the
skull on the back part of the head.
The
funeral services were held at the First Baptist church at 2:00 p. m. yesterday
and were conducted by Rev. J. C. Lewis. A large concourse of people were
present, and the heart of every person present beat in tenderest sympathy for
the widowed young bride of but three weeks.
