Hubert Stone, a member of the bridge building crew of the Illinois Central Railroad, sustained fatal injuries while at work on a bridge near Winthrop Monday afternoon. The injured man was hurried to Park View hospital, where he passed away at midnight. It appears that the bridge crew was doing some repair work on a bridge near Winthrop, and were about to drive the last post when the deplorable accident happened. While the massive post was being raised in position the chains slipped and the heavy post fell and struck Mr. Stone a glancing blow on the head, rendering him unconscious. Besides being struck this terrific blow he was thrown from the tressle to the frozen ground, a distance of possible twelve feet. Mr. Stone and his wife came to Manchester about a year ago. Soon after coming to this city, Mr. Stone secured employment on the C. A. & N. Railway at Coggon. About five months ago he secured work with the Illinois Central bridge crew. Since that time he has been one of Richard Condon's most faithful and efficient men. Mr. Stone was a man about thirty-five years of age and is survived by his wife and a number of close relatives, many of whom reside in and near Manchester. Although a resident of Manchester but a few months Mr. Stone had formed a wide circle of friends among the railroad men of the Dubuque division of the Illinois Central, as well as among the residents of this city. Manchester friends extend profound sympathy to the bereaved widow in this time of sorrow. The remains will be shipped to Edgewood Thursday morning and taken to the home of relatives, where funeral services will be held in the afternoon of that day. Interment will be made in Edgewood.
