Death Took 4th. Member of a Family of Nine Boys
Amherst, O., Oct. I8
The railroads claimed its fourth victim of a family of nine boys yesterday afternoon when Flyer No. 35, west bound, somewaht late and travelling at high speed, struck David Hutchison, 40, hurling him 150 feet and breaking almost every bone in his body. The impact was so great that the body was almost severed at the abdomen.
The Hutchison family is a railroad family whose home is at Stratford, Ontario. Of the nine boys, eight took to railroading. "This is the fourth brother I've help to take care of," Thomas Hutchison, a brother, employed with the same gang, declared yesterday afternoon as he gazed at the dead man.
Death has nearly wiped out the Hutchison family in the past few years. Walter Hutchiosn, a fireman, "was killed in a wreck on the Grand Trunk road, in July, 1908. Adam Hutchison, engineer, in a Grand Trunk wreck, February 9, 1904, and injured so badly he died before he could be taken to hospital., Jacob Hutchison, engineer, killed outright in Grand Trunk wreck about 20 years ago, sacrificing his life by sticking to the throttle that the passengers under his guidance might live. David Hutchison, structural bridge worker, killed at Amherst, October 17, 1912 by Lake Shore train.
The Hutchison family consists of nine boys and all railroaders except Peter Hutchison, who is a moulder at Stratford, Ontario. The other brother, Robert, is master mechanic of the round house at Stratford; William is railroading at Fort Erie; Harry is a brakeman on the Grand Trunk, and Thomas a bridge worker on the New York Central at Amherst at present. The father, William Hutchison, is a lineman on the Grand Trunk out of Stratford.
The unfortunate man leaves a wife at Buffalo, to which place the remains were shipped this morning. His mother is also living as are two sisters, Mrs. W. Bush, of Buffalo, and Mrs. Joseph Renteen, of Stratford.
