ROBY, Herbert

H. P. Apple, a Baltimore and Ohio track foreman, 50 years old, who resided at Orleans Cross Roads, was instantly killed near that place Saturday afternoon late by being struck by passenger train No. 6 and Herbert Roby, a track hand, was so badly injured that he died after being brought to the Western Maryland Hospital. Roby was only 17 years old. It would seem that the men had gotten out of the way of a westbound freight and had their back to the tunner entrance when the passenger train going east suddenly bore down upon them. Mr. Apple was a prominent resident of this section and a great church worker. He leaves a wife and several children. The bodies were taken in charge of Undertaker Butler and sent home for interment after being prepared for burial. Mr. Roby was a nephew of Mr. J. A. Liaburg[could be Lisburg/Lizburg], of North Cumberland.
