MRS. WM. TOWNSEND, KILLED BY ERIE FREIGHT.
Aged Dalton Woman Met Sadden Death, Friday, While Walking on Erie Tracks.
DALTON, Sept. 3, — One of the most shocking deaths by accident that ever occurred in Dalton, was that of Mrs. William Townsend on Friday of last week at 3:25 p.m. She was on her way to the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Parker on State street where she was to join her sister, Mrs. Lydia Ensworth, of Warren, Pa., to spend the afternoon. The three ladies being school children together in the White Settlement, where they were born, were anticipating a visit of great pleasure. Mrs. Townsend went from her door directly to the Oakland street crossing of the Erie Railroad, walking slowly as if in meditation, she was seen by Miss Lucy Elwell, who was sitting on the veranda of the Derrin House. A through freight going west, blowing a shrill whistle at the State street crossing and making a roaring noise, characteristic of a heavy freight coming up the steep grade through Dalton, failed to attract her attention in the least, until more than half way across the crossing, she was seen to make a sudden start, evidently turning squarely and facing the engine, as both lower limbs were broken alike, by the pilot, about half way from the knee to the ankle. She was struck squarely in the forehead between the eyebrow by what appeared to have been the end of a bolt, as the forehead was not crushed aside from the terrible indenture which doubtless caused instant death. She was carried a short distance and rolled off the pilot when she was first seen by the engineer who, was looking out the cab window, he being unconscious of an accident. The train was stopped as soon as possible, the employees anxious to do everything in their power to restore her. Dr. Haskins arrived on the scene but life was extinct. She was placed on a cot and carried to her home from which she had been absent but a few moments. Mrs. Townsend was aged seventy-two years.
The deceased leaves to mourn her death, a sorrow stricken husband, whose home life was most pleasant, one son, Wm. Jr., and one daughter, Mrs. Julia Hewitt, one grandson, Ross Burnapp and a granddaughter, Mrs. Parkers of Linden who had lived with her from her childhood. She was a sister of Mrs. Nancy Passage of Nunda, and a daughter of the late John White, of the White Settlement.
The funeral services were from the house on Monday at 2 p.m., conducted by, Rev. O. C. Baker, pastor of the M. E. church, of which she was a member, interment at Hunts Hollow cemetery. Coroner Bowen, who arrived late in the evening considered it not necessary to hold an inquest.
