Information has just been received from Sodus Centre, Wayne county, that Lindley Cook, a graduate of the deaf-mute institution here was run over and killed by the cars in his section on Friday at 6 pm.

The Rome Register,
March 13, 1891 (Newsletter from NY School for Deaf):

Lindley Cook, a former pupil of this institution, was run over and killed by the cars, last Friday afternoon, in Sodus Centre, Wayne County, where he resided. He was walking on the track, either going to or coming from work, and appears to have confided in the fact that the last regular train had passed, and no allowance made for the extra that killed him. He was a native of Annsville, a few miles out of town, and worked in this city as a lather for two or three years. He was about 25 years old and industrious and saving. A little over a year ago, he married Miss Julia Snyder, also a former pupil here, and went to live with her in Sodus. Here he set up a shop and worked at the shoemaking trade, which he learned while in the Institution. The remains, accompanied by the widow, were brought to Rome and temporarily deposited in a vault to await transportation to Annsville in the Spring. The funeral occurred at the house of a brother-in-law on Embargo St., the pall bearers were resident mutes and three of his old mates from the institution. The sympathy of all who knew Linley goes out to his widow and the friends most sincerely and we feel it our duty in this connection, to sound again the note of warning to the deaf so often heard, "Keep off the Railroad Track," under all circumstances. A sketch of remarks by Rev. J. G. Terrill at the funeral will be found elsewhere.
