Edward Seymour

Edward Seymour's life came to an
untimely end, at the age of nearly
twenty-seven years, early Wednesday
morning at Morse, Que. He was en-
gineer on an immigrant special running
as first No. ! better known as the pull
man, west bound, aud approaching this
little way station, there suddenly doomed
through the mist and early morning fog
the headlight of an engine. Edward,
believing head-on collision to be i'm
minent, applied his brakes, reversed his
engine and jumped. 1t is supposed by
many that in the excitement of the
moment he did not jump far enough
away and striking the snow bank piled
high along the side of the track, rolled
under the wheels of his own engine and
was crushed to death The train facing
him was on siding, however, with the
switches properly turned for crossing
with his train at that point, but Sey-
mour never lived to realize his fatal
mistake.
His body was taken to Richmond,
where an inquest was held, and pre-
pared for burial. He was brought here
Wednesday night on the pullman and
taken to the home of his parents, MIR.
and Mrs. Thomas Seymour, with whom
he aud his wife have made their home
since breaking up housekeeping.
He is survived by his wife, his parents
three brothers and four sisters, to whom
very general sympathy is extended In
| their unfortunate bereavement.
Funeral services were held from the
Church of st. James the Greater this
Friday morning at nine-thirty, inter
ment in the Catholic cemetery.
