In Afton [Chenango Co. NY], May 29th inst., Daniel Bond aged 55 years, 4 months and 27 days.

He has gone to his rest, / His labor is done. / He now dwells with the blest / Through the father and Son.

A Sad Accident:  About 8 o'clock, last Monday, train 12 going east, struck and fatally injured Daniel Bond, a workman on this section of the road.  It seems the men were repairing the track about 2-1/2 miles of this place and as the train came near, they all stepped off the track.  Mr. Bond seeing some tool left behind reached for it just as the engine came up to them, when the cross beam or cylinder struck him on the side of the head, crushing the skull.  He lived probably 60 minutes and expired.  Dr. Hayes was summoned and was prompt to attend the call, but the poor man breathed only a few moments after he arrived.  He was about fifty-five years of age and leaves a family to mourn his loss.
