HI All .here's an obit I came across. Talk to ya later Bob Spellenberg JAMES L. BARCLAY died at Emporium, PA, January 10, 1890 from the effects of injuries received by the cars at that place. In 65th year of his age. Mr. Barclay left his home on Monday to settle with the auditors of Cameron County as he was one of the Commissioners of the Cameron and Wharton State Road. Arriving at Emporium on the rail, he went to the machine shop, which is near the freight depot, to have some work done. While there he attempted to cross over a train of cars standing on a side track. Seeing the engine on either end of the train, he took hold of the cars to assist raising himself up on the bumpers, they being a short distance apart. When his right leg was directly between the bumpers, the switch engine sent a car against the train with such force as to catch his leg and crush it in a frightful manner. He was immediately carried to the St. Charles Hotel where everything was done to alleviate his suffering. Monday evening a consultation of doctors was held and they decided that amputation would have to be performed, and on Tuesday Dr. Smith, assisted by Dr. Bardwell, amputated the limb. But his age was against him. He never seemed to rally from the shock and gradually sank until Friday morning when he passed away. He was a brother of Hon. A. G. Barclay of Sinnemahoning. He was born in the state of New York in 1826. Settled in Wharton, Potter County, about 1850 where he has resided ever since, being one of its prominent citizens of that part of the county. Leaves a wife and two sons. Buried on Sunday by side of his daughter. Rev. Weeks of Austin officiated at the funeral.
