Mr and Mrs Miles Woodruff Struck by Erie Train 108 and Instantly Killed--Horse Ground to Death and Carriage Wrecked--Were Coming to Hornell
Two people lost their lives last evening in one of the most terrible accidents that has occurred in a long time. The scene of the fatality was the Glynn Crossing near the dangerous Webb's crossing over the Erie railroad tracks three and a half miles from this city. The victims were Miles Woodruff and his wife, Carrie Woodruff, two of the most prominent people in their locality and both officers of the Hornellsville Grange. The accident occurred about 7:30 last evening. Mr and Mrs Woodruff live on Pennsylvania Hill and were prosperous and well-to-do farmers. They had two beautiful children, a girl seven and a boy about five. Mr Woodruff was gate keeper of the Grange and Mrs Woodruff was Flora. Last evening the children were left with his brother Charles, and Mr and Mrs Woodruff started to drive to the city. Their road to the city led over the dangerous grade crossings known as Glynn's Crossings which has already been the scene of some terrible accidents. It was raining and was very foggy. Probably neither of them noticed a train approaching until they were on the tracks. The horse was a spirited animal and probably became unmanageable before they could escape from the impending peril. The train was Buffalo division No. 108 with engine 521 in charge of Engineer Elias Breese and Conductor W. D. Kinner. It was running at about 40 miles and hour and struck the carriage with an awful crash. The details of the catastrophe are sickening. The horse was literally ground to pieces under the wheels of the engine and the carriage smashed to spinters. The occupants were hurled into the air and fell across the pilot of the engine. Neither of the bodies went under the wheels. Death was probably instantaneous. Both of their skulls were fractured and many bones were broken. The bodies were not badly mutilated. Several bad cuts were found on the head and face. In Mrs Woodruff's hand was tightly clutched a handkerchief, tied in one corner of which was the key to their .......engine, the ground was covered with blood and bits of mangled horse and debris of the wreck was scattered everywhere. The bodies were taken into the city. The members of the Grange were waiting for the arrival of Mr and Mrs Woodruff before opening the session. When the news of their sad fate was sent to the Grange Hall the scene was a pitiful one. No members were held in higher esteem by all than Mr and Mrs Woodruff and the meeting was brought to a sudden close by their death. The family of the victims were notified and Coroner Wakely was also called. Undertaker C H Hartshorn was on hand when the train arrived and the bodies were taken to the morgue on Main Street where they have since been held. According to the report of the engineer he did not see the carriage until within such a short distance of the crossing that it was impossible to check the speed of the train. It was very foggy and the train was upon the carriage before anything could stop them. The body of Mr Woodruff was on the pilot and partially wedged under the boiler. His face and head sustained many cuts and fractures. Death probablly being due to the fracture at the base of the skull. Nearly every bone in the body was broken. Mrs. Woodruff's body was not mutilated. Her neck was broken by the impact with the pilot and otherwise her injuries were few. The train was running at nearly 40 miles
an hour according to the train crew that being the usual speed of the train between stations. It is said that the customary warning whistle was sounded for the crossing but either the couple did not hear it or thought they could cross ahead of the train. The members of the family were almost frantic over the disaster. Mr and Mrs Woodruff were in prosperous circumstances and had a wide circle of friends in the city and in the rural districts. Mr Woodruff was 38 years old and had a reputation for being a progressive and prosperous farmer. Mrs Woodruff was only 30 years of age and is survived by one brother. Her parents are both dead. Mr and Mrs Woodruff's two children, a girl and a boy are aged seven and five respectively.Coroner B. C.Wakely has taken up the case today and is making an investigation. The district attorney has not yet ordered an inquest and probably none will be held. The only witnesses to the accident were the dead victims and the engineer and his story has already been taken by the coroner. The funeral of the dead man and his wife will be held from their late home Monday afternoon at one o'clock. They will be buried side by side in Hope Cemetery.
