Thought this interesting--one of my family members. Maybe will help someone else, too. Wantage Records, Friday May 12, 1911: "Harry HARDEN, son of Arthur HARDEN, has for some time been a valued assistant to Agent Roome of the N. Y. S. & W. R. R., about the depot and delivering express packages. He has been in the habit of jumping on the caboose of the way freight as it passed the passenger station and riding toward the freight depot, but now says he will do so no more. The reason is that when he caught hold of an iron handle of the caboose on Saturday, he found it was moving faster than he thought. He was thrown off his feet, thrown down, dragged a short distance and badly mussed up. Luckily he was at the rear of the car, otherwise he might have fared worse. When a physician was called to dress his wounds the main injury was found to be a fracture of the bones in his left hand. It should be a warning to many others." Mona Bross Hylton, Indiana
