- Andrew S. STOTLEMYER, who lived five miles west of Hancock, was instantly
killed by an engine in the yards of the Western Maryland Railroad Co., in 
Hagestown shortly after noon last Wednesday.  He came to Hagerstown to be 
examined by the Pension Examing Board for an increase of Pension.  In his 
hurry, he boarded the wrong train to go home and, when he discovered his
mistake, Jumped off directly in front of a switching engine, which he did 
not see.  It pased over his body, cutting off a leg and an arm and horribly 
mangling the trunk.  When the remains were picked up, a silver dollar was 
found clutched in his hand.  He had probably pulled the coin from his pocket
to buy a ticket, but in his haste to catch the train, got on without a ticket.  
He was 60 years old.  He served in Co. A, First Maryland Regiment, Potomac 
Home Brigade, Volunteer Cavalry.
