Died
On Excursion
Car
Inspector Finds
The Body Of John Gibson On The Picnic Special
Gastritis
The Cause
Was
Ill When He
Boarded The Train at Seymour and Died in Toilet Room of Coach
Opening the door to
a toilet room in one of the coaches of
the special train which brought the local railroad employees home from
the
B&O Southwestern picnic at Seymour Saturday night, Earl
Edwards, car
inspector, found the body of John Gibson huddled up on the floor cold
in death.
The body was stiff, indicating death had occurred several hours before.
Gibson, employed in
the car repair department at the shops,
made the trip to Seymour Saturday to the picnic. He ate numerous
lunches during
the day and was ill when he boarded the train at Seymour to come home.
Members
of the train crew took him to the toilet room and forgot all about him.
It was
after the train had reached it's destination and had been cut loose
from the
engine and backed onto the switch at the Ebner ice plant that Gibson's
dead
body was found. It was removed to a local undertaking establishment and
later
taken to the home on North Meridian Street.
Coroner Poindexter
held an inquest today and pronounced
gastritis as the cause of death.
Gibson was
forty-seven years old and is survived by his
widow, several children and several brothers and sisters. Previous to
moving
here, he lived in the country northwest of Washington.

Found
Dead In Train
Coach
Cramped
in the men's toilet room of a passenger coach, the
body of John W. Gibson, was found late Saturday night. Gibson, one of
the
employees who attended the railroad outing at Seymour, had died
somewhere
between Seymour and Washington.
After the arrival of
the train in this city, several coaches
of the train were detached and placed on the siding at the Ebner ice
plant. Car
inspectors going through the cars in performance of their duties
discovered the
body. Rigor mortis had set in and it was evident that Gibson had died
several
hours before.
Investigation
disclosed that Gibson was intoxicated when he
boarded the train at Seymour for the return trip and he was placed in
the
toilet room a short time after the train left that city, because of the
deplorable condition of his clothing. He is believed to have died from
an
attack of gastritis, the result of an over indulgence in food and
liquor. After
placing Gibson in the toilet room, employees of the company raised the
window
to permit the inflow of fresh air and no evidence that Gibson was
overcome by
the heat was found. The man was an habitual user of intoxicants.
Coroner Poindexter
was notified of the death. The body was
taken to an undertaking establishment where it was prepared for burial
before
removal to the family residence on North Meridian street.
Gibson, prior to
moving to Washington, was employed on farms
northwest of Washington. Besides his widow, he leaves four children and
several
brothers and sisters. He was forty-seven years of age and belonged to
the local
lodge of the Woodmen of the World. He was employed in the car repairing
department of the shops.
Funeral services at
the residence at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow
morning will be followed with burial in Oak Grove cemetery.
**After
John's death,
Julia filed a lawsuit against the B&O Southwestern Railroad for
$10,000.00.
An article in The Washington Democrat newspaper on December 18, 1916
stated that
Julia accused the railroad of negligence in the death of her husband.
A
later article in
The Washington Herald on March 7, 1917, stated that the trial would not
take
place and that a settlement had been reached with an undisclosed amount
paid to
Mrs. Gibson.

Medicine Lodge, Kansas
Friday, February 4, 1910
Basil Milburn, who
has had the position as
janitor of the school house of this city, passed from this life Monday
morning
at 11:35 o'clock.
He
suffered an attack of typhoid fever along about
the first of October and although he had suffered two relapses before
the first
of the year, was able to sit up at that time and was walking around on
the
streets for two weeks preceding his late and final sickness.
Thursday of
last week he was feeling exceedingly well but that night became very
sick with
what developed into pneumonia. He kept getting worse until
death relieved
him from his suffering Monday. He lost consciousness at about
one o'clock
that morning and failed to recognize anybody after that.
Basil Milburn was born March 15, 1864 at
Hillham, Indiana, and died January 31, 1910, at Medicine Lodge, Kansas,
age 45
years, 10 months and 16 days. At the time of his removal here
he was
working at Jasper, Indiana, in a steel plant. It was through
the
influence of Rev. H. C. Duckett, at the time pastor of the Presbyterian
church
of this city, that he secured the position as janitor of the school
building
here. He was on his second year at that work and has made a
splendid
janitor.
He is survived by a wife and daughter, Lela,
age fourteen, and brothers and sisters. In the time the
Milburn family
has lived here they have made numberless friends who deeply mourn with
the
family.
School was dismissed Monday afternoon and all
day Tuesday out of respect for Mr. Milburn.
Funeral services were held from the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. VanHorn and
the
remains were laid to rest in Highland cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out
to the sorrowing wife, daughter and other relatives.
