Run Down by Train
Isaac Ryder, an employee of the Shumaker Coal company at Nantyglo, was killed at ten o’clock Tuesday morning while at work along the tracks of the company, shoveling off slate which had been washed down by the recent rains. A train of loaded coal cars ran over him without warning, the unfortunate man being injured so badly that he died a short time after having been run down.
The deceased was 30 years of age and is survived by his wife and four children: Leora, Minerva, Bruce and Blair. Four sisters also survive as follows: Miss Maggie Ryder of this place; Mrs. Minerva Hayden, of South Fork; Mrs. Annie Rummel, of Berringer, Pa.; Mrs. Lizzie Cunningham, of Freeport, Pa., and a sister residing in West Virginia.
The body was taken in charge by Undertaker Evans, of this place. |
