Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: William H. Adams, a farmer residing on the Darwin Davis farm, about four miles from this village on the road to Oxford, was struck and instantly killed by the north bound express on the O.&W. Railroad Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Adams had been after the cows. The lane from the pasture to the barn s crossed by the railroad tracks on an overhead crossing. After driving the cows down under the railroad, Mr. Adams evidently went up onto the track for some reason. He was standing beside the track when struck. He was deaf and did not hear the train or thought he was far enough away so that the train would not hit him. His body was thrown down the steep embankment into a barbed wire fence. One leg and the right shoulder were broken and there was a gash on the head. The train came to a stop as soon as possible after the accident, but when the trainmen reached the unfortunate man life was extinct. Mr. Adams was about 55 years of age and had lived on the farm several years, coming there from Oxford village, where he formerly resided and was well known. he leaves a wife and two children, a son, Raymond, and a daughter, Nellie, who reside at home. HIs funeral was held this (Friday) afternoon, Rev. Wilson Treible officiating.

She was born in Cooperstown, September 15, 1824, and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs Edward Crandall, her father being editor of The Watch Tower, formerly published in that place.
