The body of Hiram Everingham, employed in M.C.R. section gang
No. 59, was found at Montrose yesterday morning with the head
completely severed from the body.
At 4.15 Watchman Odell called the yard office and informed the
yard-master that the body of a man was lying on the track between
the cross-over switches at the drawbridge. Evidently the man had
been run down by a train and killed.
Coroner McGarry was summoned, but later decided that an
inquest was not necessary, and the remains were shipped to Niagara
Falls.
Everingham had worked on the M.C.R. section for several years
and was very well known. He came from Windham.
No information as to the nature of the accident could be
obtained, there having been no eye-witness and no evidence as to
the man's movements on Saturday night.
