1869

Stoneacre
Joseph Stoneacre, a young lad living at McLean, Illinois, on the Chicago & St. Louis railroad, while helping to couple cars on a freight train, received injuries from which he died in about two hours. The boy was not an employe [sic = employee] of the road, but always made himself conspicuous about trains, notwithstanding the warnings of his friends.
[1869 May 22 - Cincinnati Daily Gazette]
