Dec 1, 1921 - Carroll Herald - Death, the toll taker at dangerous railway crossings, claimed another victim early Monday morning when Bernard J. Daley, son of Mrs. Mary Daley, of Carroll, died in the St. Anthony hospital from injuries received Saturday morning about 10 o'clock when a light roadster in which he was riding was struck by a Chicago & Northwestern passenger train two miles west and one-half mile south of Carroll. Dense fog obscured the vision of the driver and the road was wet and slippery. At this point it is extremely difficult for a motorist to see an approaching train under most favorable conditions, and it is assumed that Mr. Daley's car was almost upon the tracks before he knew of the approach of the train. Judging from the tracks made by his car just before he reached the crossing, he either saw or heard the train and was unable to stop in time to avoid being hit. Mr. Daley, who was in the employ of the Swaney Auto company, left Saturday morning to drive to Audubon to transact business for the company and approached the railway crossing from the north about 10 o'clock. The train, approaching from the southwest, crashed into the right side of his car and hurled the light roadster 50 feet along the right-of-way. Daley was thrown through the top or through the windshield and was found 20 feet or more from the crossing and lying near the track. The unfortunate young man was found with his left leg severed between the knee and ankle, his nose broken, his face badly cut and his chest crushed. Engineer L.D. Thomas was sitting on the right hand side of the engine cab and it is said he did not know of the accident until notified by Fireman Fred Schroeder. The train was stopped at once and the trainmen ran back to the scene. Jerry Murphy, member, of the section crew working nearby, did what he could to stop the flow of blood from Daley's wounds, assisted by trainmen and passengers. William Rupiper of Halbur, appeared on the scene in a car and rushed the injured man to the hospital where his wounds were dressed by surgeons and his leg amputated. Late Saturday afternoon he rallied and hopes were entertained for his recovery, but Sunday evening the attending physicians realized that death was merely a matter of a few hours time. He regained consciousness and at intervals was able to recognize members of the family who were at his bedside, but the shock to the nervous system, coupled with internal injuries, caused his death. Bernard James Daley was born in Carroll July 3, 1894, and grew to manhood in this city. He attended the St. Joseph school and the Carroll high school. His father died when Bernard was a small boy and a brother, Edward, died two years ago. He enlisted in the United States army, in the air service, December 9, 1917, and for a time was stationed at Fort Logan, Colo. Later he was transferred to Kelly field and still later to Camp Morrison, Va., where he became a sergeant and was honorably discharged December 18, 1918. Upon returning from the army he was employed by various Carroll firms, working the greater part of the time for the Swaney company. About two months ago he was made tire salesman and collector for this firm and was handling this position with satisfaction to his employers. He was a young man of good character and possessing many extraordinary qualifications. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and of the United Commercial Travelers. He is survived by his mother, two brothers, Frank Daley and Charles Daley, and two sisters, Misses Maizie and Anna Daley, all of Carroll. Funeral services were held at the St. Joseph church Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, the services being in charge of Rev. Father Stephan Butler, assisted by Rev. Father Newell and Rev. Father Foerster. Members of the American Legion attended the services in a body, wearing their uniforms. Burial was in the St Joseph cemetery.
