LEWIS - North Shenango township, Nov. 22, 1898, Hannah Lewis, aged 81. “One of Linesville’s Killed by a Train Near Meadville” - A Special to the Commercial Gazette from Meadville dated Nov. 18 says: A man was run down by an excursion train which left Meadville about midnight last night near Broadbord bridge, about eight miles north of here. His leg was cut off and he used his coat to bind up the wound and lay there until morning, dying soon after he was discovered by railroad men on a passing train, who carried him to Saegertown. He could not make any statement, or even tell his name. >From a letter in his pocket it was learned that he was Chauncey S. Snyder of Linesville; the letter was from a women but unsigned and postmarked Saegertown, accounting for his presence where he was killed. He was unmarried and in the 32nd year of his age. The Meadville Tribune says: He was registered at the Central hotel in this city early in the evening and engaged a room, but did not return to occupy it, and it is supposed that he got upon the excursion train from up the road and fell off while intoxicated, as he was considerably under the influence of liquor when seen in town. Some of the details of the above are no doubt in error. The injury in the back of the head would cause death in a short time, says a physician who examined the remains. The excursion train passed that point shortly after midnight. The most likely story is that he attempted to board the freight and received his injuries from the crew’s train which reported him hurt. It has been learned that he intended to come back to Meadville before going to Bradford. Mr. Snyder worked in Miller & Stratton’s cheese factory, at this place, during the past summer. He had employment awaiting him at Bradford, this state, and when he left here he was on the way to his winter’s work. His relatives, mother, two brothers and two sisters, live in Conneaut township. His remains were taken to the old home Saturday; funeral was held yesterday at 10 am, Rev. Clemmons officiating. Burial at Penn Line. March 6, 1893 - “Death of Miss Anna Giddings” - Miss Anna Giddings, granddaughter of Joshua B. Giddings, died at the home of her father, Comfort Giddings, eldest son of Joshua R. Giddings, at Jefferson, Monday morning, age about 48 years. Miss Giddings was a teacher in the Cleveland school until about two years ago, when she was stricken with paralysis, since which time she has been an invalid and confined to her chair. The funeral was held Wednesday. SHATTUCK - At Erie, March 27, 1893, after a long illness, Luther Shattuck, in the 50th year of his age.
