The sad duty devolves upon us of re
cording the accidental death of a youth
who recently came among us though
his folks were former residents of this
vicinity
Daniel Jerome Kinghorn was killed
Thursday August 22d 1901 by falling
under the cars of the construction train
on the new North Western road just
west of Buda 111 He had been em
ployed as water boy since last Monday
and returning from south of O W
Masons orchard to get more water he
rode on his fathers engine Ho slipped
in some manner from the steps and two
empty dirt cars passed over his body
causing intornal injuries from which
he died just after he was carried to the
nearby home of his sister Mrs Jerome
Brainard
Daniel Kinghorn was born near Box
Elder Neb September 13th 1885 and
was therefore nearly sixteen years of age
He has been here about two months
coming with his mother to join Mr
Kinghorn who came in May to run one
ot theN W engines
He was a boy of good disposition and
had many friends among his associates
He was a church member and a dutiful
son Besides his father and mother
there are left to mourn his untimely
death two brothers J R Kinghorn of
Greeley Colo Fred Kinghorn of Mc
Cook Neb and three sisters Mrs Etta
Brainard and Mrs Agnes Sweet of this
place and Mrs Lou Haulein of McCook
Neb
Two sisters who died a number of
years ago are buried in the Sheffield
cemetery and in this family lot the
remains of the youth were laid to rest
after a funeral service at J E Brainards
conducted by Eev Moore pastor of the
Congregational church
Mr Kinghorn and family desire to
express their appieciation and gratitude
for the kindness and sympathy of the
neighbors and his fellow workmen toward
them in this hour of affliction Buda
