Fatal Accident on Eaton & Hamilton Railroad Bridge

Scrambo Wiscllanens reports a fatal railway accident Friday the 24th between eleven and twelve A.M. conductor and broker A Martin, on the Eaton Hamilton line, was knocked from the train and killed instantly near the first bridge south of Eaton. A NH native aged about 34, he had served two years as Bridge Superintendent and was valued by employers and colleagues. The notice then digresses into local hospitality notes and political musings, but the central event is the bridge accident and the victim’s identity and tenure.
