KILLED BY A TRAIN
Robert EAGAN a Farm Hand of Victor, Met Death on the Rail

Robert EAGAN, a farm hand of Victor, was found dead beside the tracks of the New York Central railroad in the town of Brighton, yesterday morning at 7:40 o'clock. The unfortunate man had been run down, presumably by a fast passenger train. Coroner KILLIP was notified, and going to the spot, viewed the remains, after which they were brought to the public morgue in this city, where they now are. An inquest will be held.
The body was first seen by the crew of the Despatch train, which leaves Rochester daily at 7:20 o'clock A. M. The tower man at Brighton was notified by the conductor of the train, and he telephoned to Coroner KILLIP.
EAGAN was a man of about 50 years of age, and had at one time been a resident of this city. For the past few months he had been employed as a farm hand in Victor, and Wednesday he went to Brighton to visit his sister, Mrs. J. NEIDER, of Blossom street. He left the house at about 8 o'clock Wednesday night, saying that he was going to visit several friends in town, and then
would return home, walking along the tracks. It is supposed that the man was struck by an east-bound train. His skull was fractured, both legs and both arms were broken, and several ribs were broken. He had been struck in the back.

Milo Webster, a well known resident of the village of Fishers, and a member of the Town Board of Victor, passed to his eternal home, last Friday night, after a brief illness. Mr. Webster had not been feeling well for more than a week but was able to attend to his business up to within three or four days of his death. Just a week before, he was in this village and held court, though then very ill.

Milo Webster was the last of a family of seven children of John Webster. He was born in the town of Parma, Monroe county, in the year 1834. In 1854, after the death of his father, he moved to this town, and purchased what is known as the Otis Webster place, at the four corners east of Boughton Hill. He later moved to the farm now occupied by John McCloskey where he remained until some fifteen years ago when he removed to Fishers where he had since lived. A few years after coming here he married Minerva, daughter of Thomas Brace, and a sister of Romeyn Brace, of this village.

He was engaged with his brother, James in the hardware business in this village, for a few years, and, during his early residence in Fishers, traveled for W. D. Newton who then operated a large cigar factory. For the last few years, Mr. Webster had been in the employ of Arthur G. Aldridge, buying and shipping produce, in which business he was very successful. He was serving his fifth term as a justice of the peace. Mr. Webster leaves a widow and two sons, Charles M., of Victor, and Arthur, of Fishers. The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon, and the interment was in Boughton Hill cemetery.

The sudden death of Ziba C. CURTICE at his home in Canandaigua, came as a great shock to the host of friends he possessed in this place. He came to Victor over twenty years ago, shortly after his marriage, and had resided here until last summer. During that long period he was actively engaged in business. For many years he held the office of town clerk, and also that of village clerk and school clerk. He was an active Mason and was much beloved by his fellow craftsmen. Possessed of a generous, kindly nature, he made friends with all. Not in years has a death so touched the community as has his. On the day following his passing away, all over the village could be found little groups of people conversing over the news with saddened faces. Mr. CURTICE was an active member of the Presbyterian church, and had been for years the director of its choir. He had planned to assist the choir once more on Easter Sunday, and it was with much effort that the members sang on that day, the selections he had in part chosen for them. A large number of friends from this place attended the funeral on Monday, to assist in paying a last tribute of respect to one so much loved. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the family so bereaved.

ONTARIO REPOSITORY MESSENGER June 19, 1902 by: Ron Hanley

VICTOR - The Home Telephone people are having considerable difficulty here in obtaining permission from property holders to set poles in front of their residences. The gang of men from the West arrived Thursday, and proceeded at once to erect poles.

The first opposition they met was near John VanDenbergh's. The company has a franchise from the Village Trustees allowing them to construct the line on condition they obtain consent of owners of property abutting that on which poles are to be set.

Mr. VanDenbergh had not given such consent, and objected to the poles being placed. The men went on digging the hole. When one was finished Mr. VanDenbergh jumped into it and showed the workmen that he intended to block the construction.

Another hole was dug, but VanDenbergh was active enough to occupy the holes alternately fast enough to keep the pole from being placed. When they dug a third hole however, he gave up that part of the game, but will give them further trouble. They met other obstacles on other parts of the street. A line from East Bloomfield is being constructed to meet this one here, and more trouble is expected on Maple Avenue.

KEATING - TOBIN - A very pretty wedding occurred in St. Patrick's church in this village, Monday morning at 8:30 o'clock when Miss Hannah TOBIN was united in marriage to William F. KEATING. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John J. DONNELLY, pastor of the church. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Julia TOBIN and Fred B. KEATING, brother of the groom, officiated as best man. Peter TOBIN of Rochester, brother of the bride, and John BRADY acted as ushers. During the ceremony the choir of the church assisted by Daniel HALL of Rochester and Edward RYAN of Mertensia, rendered several especially pleasing vocal selections.

The bride was becomingly attired in a gown of cream albatross, trimmed with appliqué, and carried a white prayer book. The bridesmaid's dress was of white mercerized mull and she carried pink sweet peas. The bride and bridesmaid both wore large white hats.

After the wedding ceremony, the bridal party repaired to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James TOBIN, on Church street where a dainty wedding breakfast was served to the immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The presents were numerous and beautiful and testified in what high esteem the recipients are held by their many friends. The happy couple are among the most popular of Victor's young people, and are prominently connected with both church and social circles.

Mr. and Mrs. KEATING left on a noon train for a 10 days trip to Baltimore and Washington. They will reside in this village where the groom holds a responsible position in the office of Loomis & Woodworth.

GILLIS - PADGHAM - The country home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry PADGHAM of Victor, was the scene of a very pleasant event, Wednesday evening, it being the occasion of the marriage of their eldest daughter, Miss Effie May PADGHAM to Frederick Dean GILLIS, of Rochester. The parlors were beautifully decorated with ferns and cut flowers, an alter of palms and ferns being built in the east room, before which the bride and groom took their stand during the ceremony. The bride was gowned in white chiffon, en train, trimmed with valenciennes and white taffeta, and carried bride roses. Her going away gown was of castor broadcloth. They were unattended and the ceremony was witnessed only by their immediate relatives. The ceremony occurred at five o'clock and was performed by the pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Victor, Rev. Frank W. HILL, after which the wedding dinner was served.

MARRIED WEBSTER - GRINNELL At Victor

June 17, 1903, William F. Webster, of Mendon, and Miss Emma Grinnell, of Victor.

Not until the coroner came was the identification of the remains established. Aside from a deep gash in the head and bruises on the face and one arm the body did not show the usual effects of such a death. It will probably never be known just how Ryan was killed. The theory is that he was either struck by an engine or, in attempting to jump on a train, was thrown and thus fatally injured. The coroner decided not to hold an inquest.

Ryan was a single man, aged about 26 years. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan, and several brothers and sisters reside at Mertensia. For some time the deceased was a fireman on the New York Central. Recently he has been employed to guard the machinery at the sand pit during the hours when the trolley road builders were not at work there. The remains were taken to the family home this afternoon.

+ Elisha Lansing BEEBE - A life of earnest, patient Christian usefulness, beautiful in the best expressions of unselfish living, came to an earthly end, when Elisha Lansing BEEBE passed into eternal rest. After about 5 years of illness, during which period Mr. BEEBE has been at times very near death, an attack of heart trouble brought release from all the pains of this existence, on Thursday afternoon, last.

Elisha Lansing BEEBE was another of that great company of men who have grown up from childhood in East Bloomfield to be honored in the country of their birth. Born 65 years ago on a farm about one mile northwest of this village, son of Franklin and Ann Lee BEEBE, he has always been a staple citizen, and has, in his quiet way, exerted an influence for good wherever he has been known. in 1868, Mr. BEEBE moved to the farm home, where he died. Having never been married, Mr. BEEBE was long a valued helpmate to his parents, with whom he lived and labored until the Master called them to Himself.

Seemingly as one of the rewards of the many kindnesses bestowed throughout his life, Mr. BEEBE in his declining years has been blessed by the unceasing devotion and care of Miss Bessie TAYLOR, who, as a child, was taken into the BEEBE family, where a good home was made for her. For this loving service, Miss TAYLOR has been able to minister when the presence of those rendered dear is most helpful.

She was a member of the Presbyterian church of Mendon, and a staunch temperance worker, being a charter member of the Good Templars and a member of the W.C.T.U.

He served as one of the trustees of the village school for many years, the present high school building being erected during his term of office.
