Biography
John was killed in a train wreck. This is probably the accident:
Morning Sun, IA Train Wreck, Jan 1893
Two Were Killed
Burlington, Ia., Jan 14.--It is reported from Morning Sun, Ia., that a bad wreck occurred last evening on the Iowa Central railroad. An east-bound passenger train was derailed while on a crossing sixty feet above ground. Two were killed and two others sustained injuries that will probably prove fatal. Among the injured are; Rev. Miller, Wayland, Ia., seriously; Elmer Reece, Morning Sun, slightly; E. S. Drummer, Wyoming, Ills., back hurt.
The Evening News, Lincoln, NE 14 Jan 1893
