Watson, Ebenezer

Ebenezer Watson, aged 64 years, was struck by a New York Central milk train on the R. W. & O. tracks at the S. George street crossing shortly after noon Monday and was almost instantly killed.

Mr. Watson was on his bicycle riding south on S. George street, enroute to dinner at the home of his only daughter, Mrs. Henry Knauer, with whom he resided. he had crossed the northerly track, coming up back of the gatetender, John Hess, who stood there with his flag looking southward on the street line to prevent anyone coming on the track as the employes of the Metallic Bedstead plant were just coming out. As Mr. Watson passed by the gatetender, the latter called to him to look out for the cars and tried to stop him, but Mr. Watson passed on to the next track south, the main line of the railroad, and then, becoming confused, started to turn his bicycle around and go back to the north side of the track. He was too late as the milk train, which was backing down from the yard to the freight house struck him, knocking him along under the wheels for some little distance from the crossing. Death is believed to have been almost instantaneous.

The train, which was west-bound on the Central railroad, was due here at 10:45 am. it had left two empty cards for the R. W. & O. milk train and was backing down the Central track when the accident occurred.

Had Mr. Watson continued going forward when called to he might have cleared the track all right and escaped being struck. The crossing is a very wide one, having several tracks there, and the victim of this accident seemed to have become confused as to which track the train was backing down.

Ebenezer Watson was born in Wright Settlement 64 years ago and for over 40 years resided in Delta, where he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for 13 years acted as caretaker of the church. He was twice married. His first wife was Calista Adams of Delta, who died many years ago. For his second wife he married Mrs. Elizabeth Widrig, who died in Delta 8 years ago. Soon after that Mr. Watson came to Rome to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. Henry Knauer, 300 S. Madison street. For the past two years he had been employed as driver for Dr. C. C. Reid. For six years prior to that he had driven for Dr. H. J. Teller.
