HART, Thomas - Putnam

On Wednesday last, Mr. Thomas Hart, the well known stone mason of this city and foreman of the new bridge of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad, which is being built across White River at Indianapolis, accidentally lost his footing and fell from the bridge to the river bed, a distance of some 25’ breaking his leg and hip and receiving internal  injuries. He was at once taken to the Surgical Institute where all that could be was done for him, but he died in a few hours. The remains were brought to his home in this city on the midnight train. - kbz
