"Sad Railroad Accident - Last Wednesday evening Harold Agard, 22 years of age, son of Solon Agard of Springwater was run into by an Erie train north of Livonia village, causing his death a few hours later. He had been visiting his sister, Mrs. Gifford Sharp who resides at what is known as Williams Crossing, where the accident occurred. He was on his way to Livonia, in a Ford car, and intended to take a friend from Livonia to Rochester. The train struck the car at the crossing and carried it about 100 feet.
