Bloomington (IN) Evening World, May 28, 1912, p.1. JAMES T. BUCKLEY DIES FROM RAILROAD INJURY Switchman Unable to Survive Shock Following Serious Accident Injuries that he received while working as a switchman in the yards of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad at Chicago about two weeks ago resulted in the death yesterday evening of James T. Buckley of this city. Mr. Buckley was hit by a cut of cars and barely missed being cut in two by the train. Six ribs were fractured, his leg was broken and he received internal injuries. He died in a Chicago hospital. Mrs. Buckley and son, Roy, who had been to see him, were informed that he had a chance of recovery but that he would never be able to work again even if he survived. Mr. Buckley was about 55 years old and was born near Kokomo, Ind. He had followed railroading all his life and worked for the Big Four at Martinsville before his marriage. He was employed as a switchman for the Monon at the yards here for many years. He was married about 35 years ago to Lethia (sic) L. Kendrick, and the widow and son survive. Undertaker Harrell went to Chicago last night to get the body. Although a former child of Mr. and Mrs. Buckley was buried near Martinsville, the body of Mr. Buckley will likely be laid to rest in Rose Hill Cemetery. Definite funeral arrangements have not been made.
