KILLED ON THE M.C.R.
[Welland Telegraph February 20, 1903]
John Davis, a driver from Hagersville, was killed on the Michigan Central Railway at Perry Station, west of Welland, about twelve o’clock Tuesday night. Mr Davis was in charge of a car of horses on a west bound freight, and when at Perry a light engine ran into the end of the train. The caboose was badly broken up, and Davis who was in the caboose at the time had just come out of the van when the crash came. The damage to the rolling stock was not serious and traffic was not delayed long.
An inquest was held there yesterday when H.W. Macoomb representing the Crown attorney was in attendance. The Michigan Central have for a long time claimed that they have never killed a passenger on the Canadian Division since the road has been in their possession.
