| 1889-12-05 | Robert Hutcheson, night yardman at the Canada Atlantic yard, met his death suddenly at 10 o'clock in the morning while shunting cars: he was walking between the stake and the moving car, seemingly unconscious of the danger, and before he could get away he had been caught between the stake and the car and instantly killed, the stake pressing against his breast over his heart; death was instantaneous. He was 27 years of age and unmarried, and lived with his mother, whom he supported, at the Chaudiere. | Almonte Gazette 1889-12-13(The Almonte Gazette quotes 'The Ottawa Journal of ...) |
