Died For Love of Wife And Child.

Saturday, March 4, William
E. Gentry was young, strong,
and had bright prospects and
anticipations for the future.
At 1:25 p. m. he left this city
wife and daughter, to go to
Shelbina to load a car prepara-
tory to going to a ranch near
Cody, Wyo.,
After finishing his work. the
longing for wife and little girl
prompted him to get into a coal
car-the train did not carry
passengers-and ride to this
city, knowing he would have
to leave a rapid moving train
here.
So much is known, the bal
ance is putting two and two to.
gether. On arriving near the
fatal spot, the platform of the
Fl. and st. Joe station, he
sprang or fell to his death.
The body was found by AL
fred Palmer some thirty min
utes after the train had sped by
or say 1890 p. m. 1t was jam
in between the platform and the
south rail. with one limb upon
the platform. The left leg
above ankle and the right foot
and left arm between wrist and
elbow was nearly severed and
the head beaten into pulp.
When found the head and
face was so badly crushed and
maugled that it was hard to
recognize him.
His shoe heel, hat and purse
were found about thirty feet
west or the body.
It Was a sad, deplorable acci.
dent and the Coroners' jury
found verdict in accordance OF
facts stated above
His love for wife and child,
like a mirage on the plains
led him to his death.
He left a good 800 acre fam
near Shelbyville and life iusur,
ance to the amount of 50, 900.
Gentry.
The funeral was held at the
home of Geo. A. Hawkins Mon
day at 1890 a. m., conducted
by Rev. Thompson Perm of
Canton, a former pastor of Mr..
Gentry's. He leaves a wife and
little daughter, Edna Maude,
to mourn him with large mum,
