McMurtrey, had the night before been struck by the north bound passenger and killed. It seems that he was sitting on the track and either failed to hear the approaching train or iscalculated the distance. The engineer saw him and tried to stop the train but failed. The engine struck him, throwing him from the track. He lived about 30 minutes but never spoke. One arm was broken in two places and his head crushed. The train was stopped and the train crew brought him to the depot. Dr. Crump was called and got there just before he died. Dr. and Mrs. McMurtrey were hurredly summoned but he died before they reached him. His body was carried to the office of Drs. Crump and McMurtrey and prepared for burial, and thus closed the life of a strong and vigorus young man. One by one the tragic and heart rending incidents which go to make up the history of a community occur, brightened anon with brighter and even gladsome shades. Sometime, someday, when we can more clearly see the whole pattern, with it's interwoven shades, now light, now dark, it will be complete and then perhaps , we will lose our horror of the darker threads as they lead up and glorify to the light, aiding in development of perfect whole. God rules in Heaven and noteth the fall of the sparrow. Fred's sad and tragic death may exert a benign influence. Can it not then be said of him that he "accompished his mission"? Saturday afternoon when the last rays of the setting sun were throwing out golden gleams his remains were laid to rest in the Rison Cemetery. Rev. Mercer Whane conducting the services. Peace to his ashes.
