The only possibility is that the OBryant you mentioned that was killed on railroad was my Gr Aunt Mellie ORR's husband. What was his first name? They had no living children since their only child died at age 3. All my ORR relatives on my Mother's side came from Pickens co, AL (Reform area) near where I grew up. These ORRs came from South Carolina abt 1850 and been in Pickens Co, AL since. I did find out my Aunt Mellie's death date thanks to a reoly to my query. Mellie ORR had a brother Luther ORR as well as a sister, my Grandmother Elma Jennnie ORR. Look this over and let me know about OBryant. I think Aunt Mellie's first husband was killed about the time you mentioned.
