THE CALVERT CHRONICLE CALVERT, TEXAS, OCT. 26, 1900

SOMMERVILLE, TEXAS, OCT. 22, 1900 - CITY MARSHALL, CALVERT-- F.J. SEMON killed by train; has he relatives there; wire disposition of body. C.J. SNYDER.
Mr. J.H. Nelson of this city, father-in-law of deceased was immediately notified, and Mrs. Semon, accompanied by Judge T.N. Graham, left on the first train for Sommerville, and returned to Calvert on the night of the 23rd. Inst., with the corpse of her husband. From a statement of Mr. Nelson it seems that Mr. Semon met his tragic death in an attempt to board a freight train on the Santa Fe railway at Sommerville early last Monday morning. "Fred," (as Mr. Semon was familarly known to his many acquaintances here) was a popular barber by trade and was well liked by his patrons for his dexterity and witty, jolly disposition. The deceased leaves a young wife and two children here to mourn him, who have the sympathy of this entire commumity. The remains of Fred J.
