TOOHEY, WILLIAM - Brakeman Killed - Wm. Toohey Falls Off His Train - On Sunday evening last Wm. Toohey, a brakeman on the Dayton & Michigan Railroad, fell from the top of a freight train and received such injuries as caused his death. Toohey, a young man aged about 23 years, has been breaking on the D. & M. road for over a year. At the time he met his death he was on a train which was loaded with ice at Reynolds' Ice House. The train pulled out from the ice house switch shortly after 6 p.m. When it arrived at Dayton, Toohey was missed, and orders were telegraphed to a south-bound extra, which passed through Troy at about 9 o'clock--to keep a lookout for him. He was found lying near the track at the bluffs, a short distance below the ice house. He had apparently fallen, or been jolted off the side of the car, and his right arm and shoulder had been taken off. He had been lying where he fell about three hours before he was found. He was taken to Tippecanoe and cared for at the home of Mr. George Barnes, but his injuries were too severe for medical skill and he died Monday. It was not known where Toohey had a home, he being unmarried, but it is understood he has sisters at Cleveland. His remains were interred at Tippecanoe.
