November 10, 1910John Henry Reedy was born near Ft Jennings, O, Oct 24, 1876.
He was killed at Esmond, S Dak, Aug 31, 1910.
He was conductor on the C and W W R R. He was looking after a coupling on a bad order car, while on his way home to Huron, S Dak, when death overtook him. It seemed that a draw-bar on one of the cars had pulled out and the coupling had to be made with chains. At Esmond he examined the chain and found it was slipping. He was prepared to fix the chain when the slack went out of the train and the bad order car was bumped against the one next to it, striking Henry's head on the left side and giving him another blow on the chest, crushing the chest completely. Either he threw himself away from the train or the impact forced him off of the track so that when the brakeman saw him he was lying beside the train. An effort was made to reach Huron before he passed away, but shortly after starting the feeble spark of life departed.
He leaves his wife, a daughter, parents (Eliphas and Matilda Reedy), 3 brothers and 2 sisters of Chicago, Ill, and a grandmother, Anna Huber of Elida, O.
In 1908 his little fifteen months old baby Charles was scalded and died before the father could reach home.
Little did we think that Henry would be taken so soon. We are glad to learn that he had been converted and his intentions were to be taken into church fellowship. May God comfort the bereft ones.

September 19, 1998A 72-year-old Gettysburg, S.D., woman was killed this week when the ambulance that was transporting her to a Bismarck hospital slammed into a concrete culvert along U.S. Highway 83 south of Strasburg Thursday. The ambulance driver and attendant were injured.
Carol Rausch was pronounced dead at the Linton Hospital. An autopsy showed she died from trauma from the accident.
North Dakota State Patrol Trooper Rick Weigelt of Linton said the accident happened just before 3:30 a.m. Thursday about 1.5 miles north of the North Dakota-South Dakota border. Weigelt said the ambulance was not on an emergency run and was traveling at speeds from 60 mph to 65 mph when it left the highway and struck a concrete culvert in the east ditch. John Wilson, 55, of Gettysburg, the ambulance driver, and Charles Willey, 40, also of Gettysburg, were injured. Linton ambulances transported the two men to St. Alexius Medical Center where, on Friday, they were reported in good condition. The accident is still under investigation by the Emmons County states attorney's office.
