Bainbridge, Ohio Train Wreck

August 1895

MAY BE BURIED IN WRECK.

Three Boys and Four Tramps Thought to Be Killed.

Springfield, O,. Aug. 14. -
-- It is now feared that three boys missing from Greenfield and four tramps are buried in the awful Ohio Southern bridge wreck at Bainbridge. The boys every day rode to the water tank at Paint creek.

The remains of Engineer RADCLIFFE were recovered Tuesday morning. He was faithful to death, his hand being found on the lever. Farmer Sam Brown and wife, who live near the collapsed bridge, saw the wreck from their porch. They state the whistle kept blowing until silenced by the water. Thousands of people are on the
scene.

Evening Bulletin, Decatur, IL 14 Aug 1895
