Coughlin was killed on the railroad track Saturday night just below the freight depot by the passenger train due here from the west at 10:40. The engineer of the train reported to the night operator that he thought that perhaps he had struck someone, but was not certain, and the operator went down and looked around, but saw no one. The next morning he informed Agent Boyle, who summoned Undertaker Nichols, and the two went down the track at six o'clock and discovered the body of W.K. Coughlin, section foreman at Viento, lying about 30 feet from the main track, where he had been struck and thrown by the engine. The body was badly bruised, and right thigh and wrist being broken and the chest bruised. The man eveidently died from internal injuries received. The body was taken to Nichols' undertaking rooms and put into a casket, and then taken to the home of the family at Viento. Monday morning the remains were brought here and interred in Idlewild cemetery. The local camp of M.W.A. held services at the grave under their ritual. The deceased was a member of the order, but not of the local lodge. The deceased was 38 years old and leaves a wife and five children, besides a brother and sister in the east. Mr. Coughlin carried other insurance besides that in the M.W.A. order, and leaves the family in comfortable circumstances.
