Word came from Dansville Thursday Lawrence SCHUPP of Owego was killed there that afternoon by Lackawanna train 3, that is due there at 6:17. The later reports state that Mr. SCHUPP apparently walked deliberately before the train as it came down a heavy grade, thus conveying the idea that the deed was premeditated. Money was found on his person, so that was not what drove him to it, if it were suicide, but, probably, a derangement of his mental facilities. The funeral was held from his residence, 10 Lake street at 8 p. m. Sunday. The remains arrived on the Lackawanna Friday night. ACCIDENTAL DEATH An inquest was held at Dansville to ascertain the cause of death of Lawrence SCHUPP of Owego, who died from injuries received Thursday night at that place by being struck by a Lackawanna train. The verdict was "accidental death" and no blame was attached anyone. Bill Grummons @ [email protected] Much more news of Tioga county may be gleaned at: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytioga/index.htm>
