Notes on Levi Messinger:
Easton Daily Argus, Thursday, December 28, 1871, Page 2
Railroad Accident - A man named Levi Messinger, residing in Freemansburg,
was killed this morning, below Bethlehem, while walking the track of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad. At the time of the accident there was a
coal train going west and a passenger train, No. 1 due here at 6:50
a.m., coming east. No doubt, he became confused, and in endeavoring
to avoid the coal train, got on the down track and was stuck and instantly
killed by the passenger train. His body was taken to Freemansburg,
and coroner Thomas notified to hold an inquest. The verdict of the
jury was that he was accidentally killed, and that no blame could be
charged to the railroad employees. Deceased leaves a wife, and seven
small children. |
