Apparently, trains hate my family. Because it looks like one of her sons also died when he was hit by a train in 1920.

Imgur deleted the article about her husband who died in 1885. Apparently, the horrible language used in journalism from that time period was too much for Imgur.

For anyone who didn't see that post: Her husband was an abusive alcoholic who died from a self inflicted injury in 1885. The article I dug up about this was from a city 125 miles away from Millard. It was really weird to find. It basically threw in some unnecessary racism about Native Americans. I've shown it to my relatives and they also think it's really freaking weird.

This was in Millard, Nebraska in 1902. My great great grandmother was the one driving the buggy. She was deaf.

I'm hoping that the train went on to hit the person who deliberately put the first sentence together in that order.

I'm pretty sure this is from the same newspaper that wrote a very nasty article about her husband's death in 1885. So, I'm not surprised that the writing quality is terrible.

My old high school English teacher would have called that a run-on sentence.

This was in an actual newspaper.

More like a run-on train.

Commas are cheaper than periods.

This is from a newspaper printed in 1902. So, that's probably accurate.
