Few more obituaries from 1895 Allentown Sue Samuel Knittle Friday, February 22, 1895 Obituary A death of the rail. Samuel Knittle met a horrible fate on the East Penn road. He walked on the tracks. When the train approached, he stepped aside, but the snow had not been shoveled away far enough – Body badly cut up. The East Penn passenger train due here at 4:33 p.m., but which laste evening arrived at the Terminal station twelve minutes late, carried upon it the marks of another horrible death on the rail in the person of Samuel Knittle at Lyons. The man was walking on the track near Lyons and as the train approached, he stood up along the snow bank on the side of the tracks to get out of the way of the train. The snow had not been shoveled away further than was necessary for the train to pass as there was not enough space for him to stand without being struck by the train. The engine and first car passed him, but the steps at the rear of the first car and front of the second car caught him and carried him along. The rear steps completed the work of hurling him to his doom. These three steps were broken. It hardly seems possible that the body of a man should cause the breaking of three steps, the blood marks and small pieces of flesh may be noticed. Some of the flesh lies on the stove under the car. The blood marks are on the side and fragments of his clothing hung upon nails and bolts of (Samuel Knittle) the cars. The body was cut into a thousand pieces. His brain lay at one place, a hand at another and all about were scattered fragments of his body. The trainsmen did not know of the accident until they reached Lyons. Engineer Patterson, had seen the man rearing up against the snow bank and passed him. Conductor William Reiff, was standing in the aisle of a car, when the man was struck, but thought the train was colliding. He stood still and said, Well, here we go.” Harvey Kupp, the baggagemaster, also felt the collision, but did not know what it meant. It was his car that first struck the unfortunate man and he says he felt as if the rear of the car was being raised. It may be that Knittle, while standing back, got excited as the train passed and slid forward. The crew went back and saw the condition of affairs. Conductor Reiff gave orders to the section men to gather all the remains possible and place them in a neat box. Knittle was single probably 53 years of age and boarded with the family of David Heffner at Lyons. Conductor Reiff, picked up a postal addressed to Mr. Heffner, Lyons and signed by Amos Rothermel of Fleetwood. At first it was thought the name of the unfortunate was Heffner, but later it was learned his name was Knittle.
