Oakwood Boy Killed by Train Near Oakwood
Miman Charles, about 14, was instantly killed when struck by passenger train No. 14 around 4 pm Tuesday on the Burlington track near Oakwood. He was thrown about 100 feet, died at once, and his body was taken to Coroner Roy M. Schwartz’s parlors in Hannibal. Charles, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Charles, attended Washington school and had been returning from a skating party with companions when the accident occurred. Rockhard, another Oakwood youth, narrowly escaped on the adjacent track as the train passed at an estimated 35 mph. The tragedy shocked Oakwood residents occupying the west end near Standard Oil property.
