North Springfield Railroad Fatality Leaves City in Mourning
The North Springfield depot witnessed a tragic accident last Sunday when Isaac N. C. Mellinger, a longtime A. & P. railroad car department superintendent, stepped between cars to uncouple a wagon. A misstep led to six loaded wheels passing over him, mangling a leg and exposing internal organs. He died two hours after capture and was buried with Masonic honors, leaving a wife and child amid community grief and public tributes.
