Rutland Herald. ACCIDENT - On Thursday afternoon last, as a freight train on the Rutland & Washington Railroad was passing under the covered bridge, over East Creek in this village, Patsy Kelly, a brakeman on the train, was struck by the roof of the bridge, while standing on the top of one of the cars, receiving severe injuries about the head and face, the most serious of which is concussion of the brain. His wounds were dressed, and his recovery is now probable. [In the 1860 census there was only one Patrick Kelly/Kelley in Rutland county listed specifically as a railroad hand. Patrick Kelley, age 27, born in Ireland in a household with Betsy Kelley, 25, and Martin Kelley, 20. They lived in Wallingford. Patsy Kelly's place of residence is not given in this news item and may or may not have been Rutland county.] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
