BRAKEMAN KILLED.
Joseph Marrett Falls From a Passenger
Train Near Easton, Pa, and Fatally
Injured.

Joseph Marrett, aged 30 years, son of Mr.
James I. Marrett, a well-known farmer Of
near Leeds, this county. was fatally injured
while on duty as a passenger brakeman on
the Lehigh Valley railroad, last Monday
morning. He had been rallroading only
about three month, yet he stood high for pro-
motion to conductor.
Just exactly how the accident occurred Is
not positively known, but it is claimed that
he was standing on the platform between two
cars when his train started to leave a siding,
and by the sudden start he was overbalanced
and thrown under the car wheels. Both
legs we're severed and he was also injured
internally. He was at once sent to hospi-
tai in Easton Pa, where he died few hours
later.
The deceased was we'll known in Elk
ton, where he spent all his boyhood days,
and his sudden death was shock to his
many friends. He Is survived by widow,
(who was Miss Edna Gallaher, Of Childs) and
one child.
The remains were brought here Tuesday
evening, and his funeral took place from the
home OF his parents at Leeds, on Thursday
afternoon, interment in Elkton Cemetery.
