COFFMAN - WILLIAMSPORT GAZETTE & BULLETIN
FOUND DEAD BY THE ROADSIDE -SUDDEN DEATH OF JACOB COFFMAN, OF MONTOURSVILLE (SEP. 2ND, 1894) -The aged gentleman was subject to smothering spells--He was overtaken while alone. -- VERDICT OF CORONERS JURY -Sunday morning the body of Jacob Coffman, an aged and well known citizen of Montoursville. was found lying on the roadside near the residence of John Konkle, a short distance east of the city limits, by John Battlinger. After notifying Hiram konkle, Thomas Cassleberry, and Ernest King of the ghostly find, word was sent to coroner Goehrig, who, after repairing to the scene impaneled the following jurors to sit upon the case: Evau Russell, Thomas M .and William F. Goehrig, John Benning, Clayton P. White and Jerome Moltz. The body when viewed by the jury was lying in a shed adjacent to the Limestone M. E. church. An examination revealed a cut and bruise on the deceased's forehead just above the eye. The evidence showed that Coffman had accompanied his son-in-law, Fred Felgrow, of this city to town on Saturday, and they had intended returning to Montoursville late that night. At 11 o'clock they boarded a train east of the reading road, after which Mr. Coffman entered the toilet room. That was the last that Mr. Felgrow saw of his father-in-law. Why he left the train and started to walk home the inquest was unable to ascertain, but as he was subject to smothering spells, it is supposed that while enroute to his destination he was taken with a spell and died from the effects of it, or from the concussion of the stone he struck in falling. Along side of his body a head of cabbage was found, and in his mouth some of the vegetable that he had bitten off. His pockets had not been rifled and his watch was still running. The jury rendered a verdict of death from heart failure, the event having occurred between 1 and 5 o'clock yesterday morning. Deceased was about 65 years of age and a member of the Reno Post, having served during the late war in the Fifth Pennsylvania Calvary. With the intention of taking action on his death a meeting of the above organization will be held this evening to make arrangements to attend the funeral from his late home tomorrow at 10:30 o' clock.

THE WELLSBORO AGITATOR, 21 Jan. 1903, p.1
STRUCK BY A TRAIN- BURT SEELEY (SRGP 64092) killed on a crossing
near Millerton. Body found on Monday morning at foot of embankment.Burt Seeley
was killed near Millerton Saturday (Jan. 17, 1903) night by the engine of a coal
train on the Tioga division of the Erie. The train was en route from Blossburg
to Elmira. Seeley resided on a farm three miles from Millerton with his wife and
four children. He left home at 7 o’clock Saturday morning, driving to Elmira
with a load of baled straw, which he sold. He did considerable shopping,
starting for home after dark. At Pine City he stopped at Gilmore’s hotel for a
lunch, leaving about 8:30 o’clock. How he happened to be ignorant of the
approach of the train will never be known. The train crew did not know of the
accident until near Elmira. Then it was not believed that a man had met death.
Seeley was carried on the engine pilot half a mile and one of the horses
three-quarters of a mile. The other horse was carried twenty rods. Evidently
both horses were killed instantly. Sunday morning passers-by noticed the
demolished hay rig near the crossing. Neighbors started an investigation. The
body of Seeley was found at 10 o’clock at the base of an embankment by Jasper
Bellnap and William Fish. There were cuts about the head. It is probable Seeley
never realized what struck him.
