AGED WOMAN KILLED BY CARS-THE VENERABLE MRS. HANNAH AMSBAUGH MEETS ACCIDENTAL DEATH-STRUCK BY TRAIN ON THE P.F.
She had been in Mansfield and was on her way home, midway to Lucas, on the Pennsylvania Track when she met her death.
Mrs. Hannah Amsbaugh, an aged lady residing on a farm east of the city about midway between Mansfield and Lucas, wandered away from her home Tuesday afternoon, and when she failed to return and a search was made for her, her body was found along the Pennsylvania lines about three miles east of the city.
Although she would be eighty years of age at her next birthday, Mrs. Amsbaugh often wandered away from her home. She lived alone on a farm adjoining that of her son, Riley Amsbaugh, but had never been able to get very far away as her relatives would make a search for her and bring her back.
From what can be learned, Mrs. Amsbaugh left her home some time in the middle of the afternoon and started on the wagon road for this city, and she evidentally was here for she made several purchases which were found on her person when she was found later.
It is believed that she followed the railroad on her return trip home between 5 and 6 o'clock, and that it was while she was standing on the tracks or too close to the tracks that she was struck and killed. Whether she did not hear a train coming behind her, which is more than probable, or just how the accident happened, can not be learned, as no engineer reported that he had struck any one.
The relatives of the old lady learned of her absence from her home late in the afternoon, and immediately instituted a search for her. The wagon road to Mansfield was gone over carefully, and then a search was made along the railroad. The body was found at the Pollock crossing about three miles east of the city, and was lying but a short distance from the track.
Coroner Goodman was summoned and viewed the remains, after which they were removed to her home to be prepared for burial. The only injury found on her body to indicate that she had been struck by anything was a bad bruise on the left side of the face. A small mirror and bottle of camphor, which she had evidently purchased while in Mansfield, were found in her purse unbroken.
Mrs. Amsbaugh was the widow of Henry Amsbaugh and leaves one son, Riley and a daughter, Mrs. J. A. Baer, of Fulton Ia. Funeral Friday, Oct 4, at 9:30 a. m. from the home, the Rev. Mr. Nicholson of Lucas, officiating.
