HARRY NABLO – KILLED BY A TRAIN
Harry Nablo, Formerly of Welland, Killed in Buffalo
[Welland Tribune, 12 March 1897]
Harry Nablo of No. 399 Baynes street, Buffalo, was killed on the New York Central crossing on Jewett avenue while on his way to work on Thursday morning last week.
Nablo was 26 years old and was employed at the Niagara Bicycle works on Jewett avenue. He left his home shortly after 6 o’clock in the morning.
When he reached the railroad crossing he stopped while a freight train passed and then stepped out onto the track. As he did so a Belt Line train from Tonawanda, which he had failed to see on account of the freight, struck him and hurled him into the air. Nablo’s head was crushed and his body mutilated.
Harry Nablo carried on a blacksmith shop in Welland a few years ago, in connection with A.A. Pegg, and previous to that lived in Dunnville. He leaves a widow-a lady to whom he was married since he went to Buffalo.
