George Bland, a switchman in the yards of the L and N railroad at Howell, was killed yesterday by falling from a freight car. He was on top of what is known as a "kicked" car that had been pushed by the engine on a sidetrack. It is said that Bland did not realize the speed of the car and to prevent a hard impact he rushed to the brake, lost his balance and fell directly under the wheels which passed over his abdomen. Death was instantaneous. Bland was 35 years old ,unmarried and had been in the employ of the railroad for some time. Fraternal organizations will conduct the funeral services Sunday. He lived at 420 West Broadway,Howell.
On account of relatives wishing interment to take place Sunday at Smith Mills Ky., the funeral services over the remains of George Bland who was accidently killed in the L & N railroad yards at Howell, were held at 7:30 o'clock last night. He was a member of the Howell order of Odd Fellows and they had charge of the funeral. The remains will be shipped to Henderson at 7 o'clock this morning and then taken to Smith Mills where the interment will take place. The accident was a sad blow to his many friends and has cast a gloom over Howell. The yard switchman of the L & N have contributed toward a beautiful floral design. Bland lived for nearly fifteen minutes after the car had passed over him while the heavy trucks were across his body. As soon as the car was raised by the use of jack screws he succumbed.
