SIGNALMAN KILLED
[Simcoe Reformer, August 4, 1932]
Leo W. Sullivan, aged 35 years of Welland, well known to many in Jarvis and district, was almost instantly killed early in the evening of Jul 25th, when the gasoline jigger on which he was riding was struck by an automobile at the Wabash crossing near Chambers Corners, six miles from Welland. Mr Sullivan, who had been for some years past the signal maintenance man on the C.N. and Wabash lines in this territory, was traveling eastward toward Welland on the jigger, while the car which struck him was carrying a number of girls from Welland to Dunnville where they were to play a softball game. It is stated that neither the driver of the car nor any of the passengers could see or hear the approach of the jigger, nor could Mr Sullivan see the car approaching until both met at the crossing. Mr Sullivan was thrown from the machine and fatally injured. The deceased had been in Jarvis a great many times on duty in past years.
