Death of William Vick

Details
Category: Families & Individuals

An east bound, East Tennessee freight train picked up a fatally injured man just west of Morristown about daylight yesterday morning. The injured man was carried to Morristown where he was given all possible medical attention and he was then removed to his home at Strawberry Plains, where he died a few hours afterwards.

When picked up by the freight train crew, the man gave his name as William Vick, stating that he lived at Strawberry Plains. He said he had been asleep on the track and was knocked off by the engine of the west bound passenger train, No. 3. He did not say so, but the supposition is that he was drunk when he laid down on the track.
