Read More	March 18, 1915 - Carroll Times - James Duffy, a car repair man in the employ of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, was instantly killed Tuesday night by being struck by the engine pulling Train No. 13. The accident took place at about 8:45 p.m. on the main track for west bound trains, at a point near Adams street. Mr. Duffy had been at work in some cars on a siding near by and having completed the work started to go up the track to attend to other duties. Just how or why he failed to notice the approach of the train from the east is something that will probably never be explained. Perhaps he thought that he was far enough from the track for the engine and coaches to clear him. The beam projecting from the side of the engine hit him with such force that he was thrown some distance, his head striking against a rail of one of the tracks. The skull was crushed and the brain was scattered on the track. Mr. Duffy has long been a resident of Carroll, but in the time intervening between his death and the paper going to press we have not had opportunity to secure much information as to his past life. He was a brother of Mrs. Peter Conley and Mrs. Kelly of this city. He was a native of New York and his age was about sixty years. Prior to taking up his present work he had been a farmer, implement dealer and dairyman. He has been twice married, his second wife having been Miss Anna Yegge. She died about six years ago in Illinois. The funeral will be held on Friday morning.
