Death

WARD:  In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], September 16th, Miss Mary Ward, aged 46 years.

On Thursday morning last, a terrible accident occurred to an employee in the Midland yard in this village, at the East Main Street crossing, which resulted in death between twelve and one o'clock.  William Neville, aged about 20 years, and employed as car shifter, was the unfortunate victim.  While in the act of uncoupling cars in motion - the rear one of which was to be switched upon another track - he signaled the engineer upon the shifting engine, and stepping between the cars, removed the coupling-pin, and as he turned to leave the track, his foot caught between the outside of the rail and the broken end of one of the planks forming the platform near the track, he was thrown to the ground, his foot still held fast.  The engine, with one car attached, came backing down the track, and the wheels of one truck passed over him, crushing his right arm and shoulder to a jelly, and inflicting injuries on his left hand and other portions of his body.  The young man was removed to his boarding place nearby, and medical assistance called, but without avail.  He died as above stated, scarcely rallying from the shock, yet conscious almost to the last. He is spoken of as a man of excellent habits, industrious, and as enjoying the good will of all the laborers in the yard.  His friends reside near Oswego, whither he was taken on the 3:15 train by his brother, who arrived barely in time to see him die.
