BURNUP, George
It has been the practice among many of the boys of both our towns to follow moving trains along the C&P and W.Va Central railroads, occasionally jumping on and off to ride and test their agility. Saturday, four lads, all of Westernport, among who was George Burnup aged about 11 years and son of Mr. R.H. Burnup, foreman of the machinery department of the B&O shops, engaged in play on the line near the curve in the neighborhood of the suspension bridge. Just how the terrible accident occurred there is no certainty. Whether he was struck by a moving train or he fell while attempting to climb onboard no one is just able to say. He was run over by the train and died about 4 hours later.

BURTON, E. J.
Struck as his train entered the Kingwood tunnel of the B&O railroad, near Tunnelton, yesterday morning, E. J. Burton, a brakeman, was instantly killed. Burton was front brakeman on the westbound freight train and left his companions in the engine cab a few minutes before the tunnel was reached. When he did not return to the engine the fireman became anxious as to his safety and went on the train to look for him. Just before reaching Thornton, the fireman found Burton, stretched out on one of the box cars, lying face downward in a pool of blood. He was dead when the fireman reached him. Burton was 23 years old. He had been with the company but a short while, coming to Cumberland from Philadelphia, where he leaves a wife. His body was tattooed from head to foot, and a large number of curious persons called at Undertaker McCabe’s in Grafton to see the curious markings. Burton was formerly a fireman on one of the North Atlantic dreadnoughts.
