Hudlow, Luther - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Yesterday afternoon the Chicago fast freight No. 71, on the Monon, stopped at the station and Luther Hudlow, a brakeman, entered and passed a few pleasant words with the operator and agent. The train went on south and when near Bainbridge, Luther started forward to the engine to speak to his brother who was firing. He passed from car to car in safety until he came to a flat car next to the tender. He attempted to climb onto this but slipped and fell under the wheels before the eyes of his horrified brother who almost fainted at the awful sight. The entire train passed over the unfortunate man and ground him to pieces. The bloody fragments were picked up from the crimson snow and taken to his home in Romney for interment. Hudlow left four brothers all of whom are employed on the Monon. He had a large acquaintance here and many warm friends. =s
