From the Crescent News: HENRY IS KILLED AS LOCOMOTIVE ROLLS IN DITCH Defiance Man, Fireman, Buried Under Car of Coal on D.T.&T Double Header Freight Derails At Open Switch in Springfield (By International News Service) Springfield, Ohio March 8 - Andrew Henry, 33, Defiance, fireman, was killed & Mike Gorman, 45, Napoleon, engineer and John Donnelly, 32, Springfield, brakeman, were seriously injured here today when a north bound double header freight train on the Detroit Toledo and Ironton railroad was derailed by hitting an open switch. Both engines and six freight cars went into the ditch. By leaping from the second engine, F.E.E. Berkes, engineer, and Lee Dunbar, fireman both of Napoleon, escaped injuries. Henry was pinned beneath the first engine. He was dead when his body was extracted two hours after the wreck occured. Gorman and Donnelly each sustained a broken leg. They were taken to a local hospital. Both are expected to recover. The wreck, which occurred at the switch at the entrance to the O.S. Kelly Piano Plate Company's plant at Water street, is believed by D.T and I. officials to have been caused by an iron bar from a preceding train falling into the switch, holding it open.
