From the web site: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/county/platte/vitals/vitals1888b.html The Columbus Democrat, July 6, 1888 On the morning of the Fourth a very sad accident occurred in the yards of hte U.P. railroad company at this place, resulting in the death of a faithful employe of that company and leaving two little girls orphans in this wide, wide world. While George Lohr at about 5:30 a.m. was engaged in making a chain coupling he was caught between two cars, just above his hips, and bruised so badly that his death followed in exactly three hours from the time he was injured. The deceased was 27 years, 4 months and 23 days of age, and leaves behind two little girls whose mother has gone before her husband to the far beyond. The funeral took place at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon from the residence of his father, Wm. Lohr, and was largely attended by relatives and friends. George was conscious to the last and these were his last words, addressing the bystanders, "Well, boys, I cannot always be with you." Sheriff Bloedorn, acting as coroner, empaneled a jury on Thursday afternoon and held an inquest. The jury was composed of Chas. Wake, John Hempleman, L. Plath, Henry Ragatz, John Miller and F.H. Rusche. The verdict was substantially that the deceased was crushed between the cars while in the discharge of his duty as an employe of the U.P. R'y company, and that one of the cars had no drawhead. The Columbus Journal, July 11, 1888 July 4, George Lohr, aged twenty-five years. Mr. Lohr died as the result of an accident; he was a night switchman in the Union Pacific yards here, and while so engaged was caught between the bumpers Wednesday morning last, and horribly mangled. This occurred about 5:15. At 8:15 his spirit departed the body. About a year ago, Mr. Lohr's wife preceded him to the spirit world. Two children are left orphans by his death. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon from the residence of Wm. Lohr, father of the deceased, Rev. H. L. Powers officiating.
