Peter Gittman/Guttman
Fatal Railroad Accident - Two Men Killed
A fatal accident occurred on the South Side Railroad on Friday night last between Corcora Depot and Lynchburg resulting in the death of Mr. Peter Gittman, who has been employed as engineer on this road for the last ten years, and his nephew acting as fireman.
The engine was the Gen. Bragg, one of the best locomotives on the road, which was seriously damaged. We have not learned the particulars of the sad event, but presume that the engine ran off the nestlework as the course is very short, at that point detaching itself from the train of cars or else the telegraph would have mentioned other facts than the death of the engineer and fireman, and the serious injury of the (?).
The death of Mr. Guttman will be universally regretted as he has been for many years (..?..) of this city and was regarded as one of the most cautious and reliable engineers upon the South Side railroad. He leaves a wife and children to deplore his untimely loss and a host of friends who will sympathize with them in their sad melancholy bereavement.
