Donahue, 30, son of Mrs. Mary Donahue, formerly of Burchard, was instantly killed Saturday evening beneath switching cars in the Burlington yards at Hastings. Donahue was in the employ of the Burlington at the time and while the accident was unnoted by fellow members of the crew he was found within a few minutes. Death had been instantaneous from injuries about the head. Funeral services for the unfortunate youth were held Tuesday afternoon from the Catholic church in Burchard, and burial was in the cemetery at Burchard. Accounts of the accident given The Republican by dispatches from Hastings state that the accident happened about 8:30 Saturday evening. Donahue was helping the crew switch a freight train in the Hastings yards and had gone back to lock brakes on a car just shunted onto a siding. Other cars in the meantime were being "kicked back" and it was a few minutes before other brakemen noticed Donahue's absence. The youth was found under the trucks of a freight car, his head and body crushed so badly under the wheels that it was necessary to jack up the trucks of the car to remove the body. Donahue's mother, Mrs. Mary Donahue of Lincoln, was notified at once and Sunday morning, Kenneth Bishop, friend of the youth, returned to Lincoln with the body. Monday afternoon the funeral party continued to their former home at Burchard, to the home of Ed Huff. The Donahue family until sic years ago were farmers one mile east and one-half south of Burchard. Two years ago the father, James Donahue, died at the home in Lincoln. The surviving members of the farmily are the mother and two daughters, Julia and Alice Donahue, and two brothers, Raymond and Omer, all of Lincoln, and another sister, Mrs. Ned Mitchell, of Axtell, Kas. Tom Donahue of Burchard is a nephew of the youth.
