Trolley Accident

January 1896

KILLED BY A TROLLEY CAR.

Indiana County Man Meets Death at Turtle Creek.

Samuel Huey, until a year ago a resident of Blairsville, was struck by a trolley car at Turtle Creek, last Saturday afternoon and received fatal injuries. He was 60 years old and a veteran of the late war. His wife died during their residence in Blairsville, but he is survived by nine children, one of whom, William, lives with his family in Blairsville. The remains were brought to Blairsville on Tuesday and funeral services were held in the U. P. church. The remains were afterwards interred in the Blairsville cemetery.

Mr. Huey formerly lived in Jacksonville.
