Hello cousins I have a family mystery It seems my Grandfather Robert Lorenzo Loy's (of Effingham Ill.) brother Voris Loy was killed by a freight train. All the info I can find in writing is from this web site listed below. Any ideas on where to find how I can find out more? It just seems strange to be killed by a freight train. Maybe it is the times we live in now and it was just more common then Thanks Angela http://earpconnections.tripod.com/adm/popup/roadmap.shtml?member_name=earpconn ections&path=1902necrology.htm&client_ip=205.188.209.102&ts=1011484588& ad_type=POPUP&category=travel&id=3edfe1108cb6bfd008005deb36e30a5c The following was found in The Moultrie County Heritage Published By: Moultrie County Historical & Genealogical Society Vol. X No. 4, November, 1982 – page 114 THE LOVINGTON REPORTER, Lovington, IL 1902 1902-NECROLOGY-1902 The majority of obituaries are on the front page; others are from locals found on an inside page.
