Evidently with suicidal intent, growing out of a prolonged period of ill health accompanied with the decay of mental facilities, Mrs. George BEEBER of Argos, aged mother of Miss Belle BEEBER of Rochester, Thursday morning stepped in front of a Nickle Plate passenger train bound for Rochester at the Pickle Factory crossing a block from her home, and was knocked down and killed, the cars passing over her body, severing it. The train crew picked up the body and it was taken to an Argos undertaking parlor.
The incident occurred about 6:30 o'clock the time at which train No. 21 would be leaving Argos. The death was unavoidable, as the report of the train's conductor, "Pat" QUIGLEY, stated. According to the report, the woman was waiting behind a box car, and when the engine was only twenty feet or so away, she threw herself in front of it. Piloting the train at the time of the tragedy was Engineer Charles FULTZ.
Mrs. Beeber and her husband had been residents of Argos for ten or twelve years. Their home is in the east part of town close to the Nickle Plate tracks. The Beebers formerly lived in Tiosa.
