The Greencastle Banner, Putnan Co., IN. Issue of Tuesday, Oct. 21, 1902 Austin Surratt |
of Rockville, Parke Co., IN. was killed under a train on the Big
Four track here early this morning after he had started home from
to this city. He worked for Charles Pfeffenberger here for several
months, summer before last and came over Sunday morning to visit
friends. He attempted to leave Sunday night on the Big Four's
westbound train but at two o'clock this morning his body, horribly
mangled, was found lying on the track opposite the point where the
steam shovel is located, a couple of hundred yards, west of the Big
Four Depot. It is presumed he fell from the train under the wheels.
The body was taken to Ledbetter and Dentman (?) undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. Coroner King notified Surratt's family at Terre Haute, who are said to be excellent people. The Next day: "From the Greencastle Banner" 22 Oct. 1902 The body of Austin Surratt was buried here Wednesday afternoon, instead of being taken to Terre Haute, which was his nominal home.

Possible Record Problem! |
[Note: 1.]
I don't think the JAHRIES moved to California for several years
because Leah managed Valeska's "Hat Boutique"
in the Hotel Deming here in Terre Haute for the 1914-1915 timeframe.
[REF: Mike #2]
[Note: 2.] John M. Jahries died in Los Angeles on Sept. 21, 1953. Though I am presuming for the time being this is the same man who married Leah, the obit asserts that he leaves a widow, Zita Caughlin also formerly of Terre Haute. Zita (Caughlin) Jahries died on October 1961 but I have not yet examined her obituary. Mike McCormick (Occupation: Scenic Designer) [REF: Mike #2] and [REF: Mike #3] |
