G. M. DUNMAN [sic] KILLED
------
Car Repairer on Wilcoe Yards Crushed Under Wheels
G. H. Duncan [sic], a car repairer on the yards at Wilcoe, was instantly killed yesterday morning when a train backed against a car on which he was working.  The man had been at work but a few minutes when the accident occurred.  The dead man was sixty-five years old and leaves a family who live at Wilcoe but a short distance from where the accident occurred.  His wife was clearing up the breakfast dishes when word was brought to her home that her husband had been killed.  The news nearly prostrated the woman, who with her family was dependent on the wages her husband made as a car repairer.  Duncan has been an employe of the Norfolk and Western for a number of years and was well known on this division among the repair men.
