See also the 4 August 1876 article from La Harper [La Harpe, IL] newspaper:  "A
terrible accident, one of those hard to account for, and for which nobody is to
blame except perhaps one of the unfortunates, whose life paid for his temerity
- or heedlessness - occurred at the railroad crossing, at the east end of the
depot grounds and opposite the house of J. N. Bainter, on Sunday morning, at
about ten minutes before seven o’clock.  Mr. Henry Richter, his wife, a child
aged 2 years and his uncle Mr. Louis Kettler, an old man, in all four persons,
were crossing the above mentioned point in a wagon [when] the westbound express
train No. 3, running at a speed of some 20 miles an hour, struck the wagon on
the fore wheeel with the point of her pilot smashing it into kindling and
throwing its occupants into the air.  Mr. Richter clung to the spring seat,
which clung to the pilot and remained there until the train was stopped,
receiving such severe injuries about the head that he remained unconscious
until death, which occured in about an hour and a half.... Mr. Kettler was
found dead near the woman and child....  The dead and wounded were taken to the
Central Hotel, from whence at 10 o’clock the same evening the remains of the
two men were buried, the heat and lack of ice making it necessary.   ....Mr.
Kettler had just arrived from Kansas to visit his son, who lives on North
Prairie, and was on his way to his house when killed.   ...When the distressing
accident at the railroad crossing occurred...the question was asked...’What
shall we do with the bodies?’ and where shall the maimed be carried for
protection?  Mr. William Barr of the Central House was present and answered,
‘carry them to my house,’ and it was done, the dead and injured were
transported to the ‘Central’ where those past other human services were
prepared for burial - the last sad rites performed, and from whence late in the
night they were removed to the Cemetery and buried."
