Can anyone living in or near Clinton take the time to help Karen? Seems like a very worthwhile project so I am hoping that someone will do the volunteering. Earliene I am looking for information concerning the 1909 trainwreck outside of Farmer City, Ill. Newspaper reports, accident reports, coroner reports, 1st person journal or diary accounts, legal actions, etc. I work with the Library of Congress. We have an extensive website of primary materials called the American Memory collections. We have over 2 million items online for research. This is free to everyone. (http://memory.loc.gov) I do a teacher workshop, which involves two photographs of the trainwreck. These are located in the Panoramic Photograph collection. If a keyword search is done using 'railroad accidents', the two photographs will be listed. I want teachers to teach students to go beyond the photograph to find the story. I have contacted the local librarian and the local newspaper in Farmer City. They are assisting me with newspaper articles. I am looking for the coroner's report for Callie Parrish, of Farmer City, who died in the wreck. I am looking for the accident report that might have been filed by the local Sheriff or county official. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
