From the June, 1918 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine
The sudden taking away of John Ingram, a most competent and reliable engineer, removes from the Buffalo and Southwestern division of the Erie a man who was held in the closest friendship by his comrades and all others who knew him.
Engineer Ingram's death was most pathetic. He was in charge of the engine that hauled passenger train No. 520, and when it reached Cherry Creek he suddenly collapsed and was found dead on his engine.
When J.C. Tucker, now assistant to Vice-President Stone, was at the helm he made Ingram a fireman and later he was promoted to engineer. In speaking of Engineer Ingram, Mr. Tucker said he was one of the finest fellows on the road, and always full of good nature. He was very popular with the boys, and as an engineer could not be beaten for reliability. On receipt of the news of his death Mr. Tucker wrote his widow a letter of sympathy.
