Struck by T.H.&B.
[Waterford Star, September 19, 1912]
Welland, Sept. Saturday afternoon passenger train No. 78, T.H.&B. westbound, due at Welland at 1.06 while on the M.C.R. tracks just east of Welland struck a buggy, in which were Fred Tilley and his wife smashing the rig and seriously injuring both persons. They were hurried to Welland and County Hospital where Dr. Howell took a number of stitches and attended to their injuries. Fortunately, no bones were broken, but it was a narrow escape from instant death for both. They attempted to cross the tracks ahead of the train, but fearing he could not do so, turned the horse clear of the train, but the buggy was struck.
