    3. BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, FEB. 8, 1901 The remains of Charles Miller, the man frozen to death Friday night near the Harrodsburg depot, were taken to Darlington Saturday for burial. The body was accompanied by the father and the family of Frank Hoffner. The funeral was Sunday. Additional details of the awful suffering of Miller state that when the wagon over-turned and rolled down the embankment and had stopped, Miller was fastened in the debris with the wagon bed across his body. The accident occurred near the depot and the man's cries for help were heard repeatedly during the night by some men about the depot. They state that no attention was paid to the calls as they thought it was a noise being made by a drunken man. The calls and moans did not stop until after daylight. The man was found at 7 o'clock in the morning and had been held in the one position for 11 hours. He was numb and frozen, in the greatest agony, as the thermometer was down to zero all night. The men were afraid to go to his assistance.
