Smith - John B.

Source: Crawfordsville Journal, Nov. 14, 1885

 
John B. Smith, a former resident of this city, and a  brother-in-law of Ed Coleman, was killed at Surrey, a small  station on the L N A & C road beyond Renssalaer on Tuesday  night. He was a freight brakeman on the road, and was engaged in  coupling cars when the rear end came against the forward end with  such force as to knock him off the car onto the track, when 14  cars passed over his body. The remains were brought to this city  on Wed. evening. - transcribed and donated by kbz
