Chapman, W. A. -

Noon Train Kills Man

(Bedford Times-Republican)

The noon passenger train came in late yesterday with blood covered over its head-light, caused by striking a Ford car near Rosendale and killing the driver,

who we understand was a preacher  The body was badly mangled and brains and blood spattered the entire front of the engine. The Ford car was a complete wreck.  The train stopped and picked up the remains and took them to Rosendale.

LATER: The Maryville Daily Democrat says: "The Rev. W. A.  Chapman, who recently moved from Pickering to Rosendale, was instantly killed about 10:50

o'clock this morning when he was struck by Burlington passenger train number 4, which is due in Maryville at 11:5.1, at the crossing near Fairview Church, two and one-half miles south of Rosendale.  Mr Chapman was driving

his car east and, it is supposed, for some reason he did not see or hear the train. The engineer did not see him until it was too late. The train struck the car practically in the center and carried the body of Mr. Chapman about a quarter of a mile before it stopped.

"Mr. Chapman's head was badly crushed and the body was so mangled that he could hardly be recognized, according to reports of people who saw the body shortly after the accident. His arms were scratched and torn, one shoe was completely torn off of the foot and the hose and instep of the other foot was cut. 

"The car was picked up on the cow-catcher of the engine and carried down the track and across a railroad bridge, approximately 5O feet long. When the train was stopped the car dropped off the engine and Mr. Chapman was lying in the seat. Remnants of the car were left on the engine and a steel plate about one-fourth or one-half inch thick was broken.

"When the train stopped and the body was taken, from the car, the coroner and undertaker of Savannah were notified. The body was taken on the train and carried into Rosendale and left at the depot.

 "Mr. Chapman had lived at Pickering for the past three years and was pastor of the Christian Church. About three weeks ago he moved to Rosendale and was preaching there half time and giving the other half of his time to the Fairview church. He had preached at Fairview Sunday night and was returning to his home Monday morning when he was hit by the train.”

Howard, Vera Newton -

(Bedford Times-Republican)

Mrs. M. H. Newton of Conway received a message early Monday morning, conveying the sad intelligence of the death of her daughter, Mrs. Vera, Howard, at Nickerson, Kans., the same occurring on Sunday last. From the

story given of the terrible calamity that caused the death of  Mrs. Howard and the  near killing of her little son, we glean the following: It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Howard, .accompanied by their little son, were on their way home

from church, driving a team hitched to a buggy. They were driving along on the paved highway and were about a mile and three-quarters from the town of

Nickerson, when all at once and without warning they were crashed into by a large Buick touring car driven by a young man from Sterling, Kans., and reported to be the son of a banker of that place.

When the car struck the buggy, Mr. Howard was thrown out and off the roadway into soft dirt, being bruised up considerably but not serious. Mrs. Howard, .however, was thrown straight ahead and landed on her head on the

pavement, crushing her skull and killing her instantly. The little boy was also thrown to the pavement and sustained serious bruises, although not of a serious nature. One of the horses driven by Mr. Howard was killed outright

and the other one badly crippled and may have to be killed.

The car that struck the Howard vehicle was filled with young people and they were racing with another powerful car and evidently not watching the road ahead—in fact speed crazy, After striking the buggy, the auto proceded about 800 feet and then plunged head-on into the ditch, overturning the car, but hurting none of the wild riders. The body of the dead woman was brought to Bedford for burial yesterday and tenderly laid away by loved ones here. See obituary elsewhere in this issue. [no obit appeared]

Undertaker H. O. Mumma and others.

The body was found between the rails with the head toward the south and at a point some ten feet south of the south cattle guard.  A knife and bunch of keys were found about 150 feet north of the place where the body was found, and there was evidence at the point where the knife and keys were found, that the body had been picked up or struck by a southbound train and carried across
