Norman Williams Killed by Train Wednesday Evening
No Explanation of Just How Accident Happened
Body Horribly Mutilated
Carleton Sentinel Newspaper Oct 25, 1912

Norman Williams went out on a train going north Wednesday night at 7.55.
His horribly mutilated body was found on the track near Hayden's mill, about eleven o'clock.
Persons at the station noticed blood and pieces of clothing on an engine standing on the track and began an investigation. Chief of Police Kelly was sent for and walking up the track found the body of Williams as stated.
Information as to how the man happened to be in the vicinity is not obtainable, but report says he was put off the train and met his death by being struck by the Gibson which is due here at 8.40 and was afterwards run over by a special freight. The pieces of clothing were found on the engine of the Gibson train, which would indicate that he was first struck by this train.
Portions of the body were picked up along the track---the head was completely severed also the legs and arms. For a time it was not known who the unfortunate man was, the body was so frightfully mangled, but identification was made by papers found in a pocket and by the clothing.
The remains were tenderly picked up and taken in charge by undertakers from Henderson Co.
Williams is well known in town and general regret is expressed over his untimely death.
He was about 35 years of age and lives with his parents.
