Coroner's jury probes death of Owen Hays in railroad accident
An open inquest on Wednesday afternoon examined the death of 32 year old Owen Hays of 506 Hill street who was run over by a Burlington switch engine at the Third street crossing near the freight house. Hays, a Pollock train passenger for Atlas Portland cement plant workers at Ilasco, was killed about 6:15 am while attempting to pass the engine. The jury, including Edward Drescher and Rev James Moore, heard witnesses say he stumbled as the engine backed from the yards. The body required jacks to lift the tender after the wheels severed him at the waist. The coroner’s inquest was held by Roy Schwartz. Hays, born in Hannibal, had worked in the plant’s storekeeper’s department for 17 years. Survived by parents Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Hays, three brothers F K Clarence Stephen and one sister Miss Blanche Hays, he had served five months in the army and was discharged at Camp McArthur Texas. The body was moved to Schwartz's undertaking parlor.
