Americas Herald: Several years ago
three railroad men, Messrs, Barnes, Ores,
ham and Kennedy, came to Americus and
secured employment on the sam road.
They were good men, honorable truthful
and reliable. They had worked on other
roads together and We're fast friends.
Neither Of them will work again on
railroad. Tho sad death of Conductor
Barnes is still fresh in the minds of our
people. Also the accident that befell Capt.
Gresham, which disabled him for life. on
Saturday night last Mr. Kennedy flag
man for Conductor James Frederick, while
coupling cars at Helena, had his right arm
crushed and stripped OF the flesh The
arm may have to be amputated. He was
brought to Americas on Sunday. Mr.. Ken
nedy is the last of the three who were
comrades, but they will railroad no more.
