For 27 years Mrs. Fred Graeber had lived within 30 feet of the two railroads, the Lake Erie and Erie, at the point where they cross in East Rochester. To her trains have ever been a familiar sight and though deaf, she was in the habit of crossing the tracks at least once a day, when every morning she walked to the farm home of William LIGHTFOOT for milk. The accident was witnessed by Isaac CREVISTON, an Erie employe, who was walking toward the target at the time. He said that he was about 100 feet from the crossing when Mrs. Graeber came from her home and crossed the south track. When in the center of the north track the aged woman changed her course and started to walk directly in front of the oncoming train which was only a few feet away. The bonnet which she was wearing prevented a view of the train and although the whistle blew loudly for the crossing she did not hear. A matter of four or five seconds would have saved her life. When in the center of the track, according to the only eye witness, Mr. Creviston, Mrs. Graeber saw the train and made every effort to get out of the way, but she was too late. The pilot beam of the engine struck her in the back as she stepped over the north rail, crushed her frail body and jammed her head first into a net work of wires and iron rods which at that point ran along the side of the track. She was instantly killed, the fatal wounds being on her head, which was partly crushed. The train stopped and backed up to the crossing and with the help of M. C. JONES the towerman, the body was carried to the home, a few feet away. As the body was mangled the ambulance was called and it was taken to the morgue. The home which had suffered so sudden a blow was soon crowded with friends and relatives of the family. Mrs. Fred GRAEBER was born in Germany and came to this country with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig MARSHALL, when she was but three years old. Mrs. Graeber was 67 years old on the 10th day of December, 1913. On the 10th day of December 1868, in Richland township, this county, Miss Margaret MARSHALL and Fred GRAEBER were married. They were the parents of nine children, seven of whom are living. They are: Floyd [GRAEBER], Max [GRAEBER] and Harry [GRAEBER] of this city, Fred [GRAEBER] of California, Mrs. Emma LONG of Texas, Mrs. Mary INGRAHAM of Pennsylvania, and Miss Etta GRAEBER of Ft. Wayne. Mrs. Graeber has two brothers and two sisters living, John [MARSHALL] and George MARSHALL of this county, and Mrs. Louise ZINK of South Bend and Mrs. Lydia KERLER who lives north of Rochester. Mrs. Charley KIME, a daughter and Ernest GRAEBER, a son, died several years ago. ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Saturday, October 24, 1914 A few changes have been in the arrangements for the Graeber funeral. The services will be at the house on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. PULLMAN of the Evangelical church officiating.
