A pathetic incident in connection with the railroad wreck just came to light to-day.  Fireman Keglas was killed in this town where lived his sister.  The remains were here throughout one day and were taken to Carbondale before the sister had knowledge of his death, and nobody at the time knew that there were relatives living near.   The sister is Mrs. Erwin VanValklenburg and resides in West Bianbridge [Chenango Co. NY] at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Charles Lake.  The first news of the death came when Mr. Van Valkenburg read of the accident in one of the papers and informed his wife.  A telegram had been sent from the deceased home to the sister telling of the death and the hour of the funeral which was at 2 p.m. today at Carbondale.  The telegram was not delivered until this morning, too late for Mrs. Van Valkenburg to make railroad connections so as to reach there in time.  She left however for Carbondale on the 1:30 p.m. train today.  The deceased leaves a mother, four sisters and two brothers.  Mr. and Mrs. Van Valkenburg moved to Bainbridge from Harpursville only a few months ago.  [Bainbridge Republican, June 20, 1907]
