Mr. Horace Herrington
About daylight on Christmas morning the engineer of a freight train on the Pine Creek railroad saw the body of a man lying on the track near the Ansonia bridge.  The train was under full speed and could not be stopped until after it had passed over the body.  The trainmen went back and found that the body was cold, the man evidently having been killed several hours before, and from the horrible manner in which the body was mutilated it seemed probably that five or six heavy freight trains has passed over it since death had taken place.  The arms and legs were cut off and the members were scattered for 40 rods along the track.  The trunk was crushed to a shapeless mass, and only a small portion of the face remained by which the body was identified as that of Horace Herrington, of Ansonia.  Mr. Herrington was in this borough last Tuesday, and it is said that he became intoxicated.  He went home on the evening train.  In the evening he went to the barn, mounted his horse and started for Marsh Creek.  This was the last time he was seen alive.  The horse came home during the night, covered with mud.  It is thought the horse got away from Herrington and he then started to walk home on the track, when he was struck by a freight train.  Horace Herrington was his own worse enemy, having seemingly an uncontrollable appetite for liquor.  When sober he was a genial man and a good citizen; but his one great fault, which was a source of sorrow to his family and friends, was undoubtedly the cause of his terrible death, as it is stated that when he left here he had two bottles of liquor in his pocket.  The funeral was held at the Ansonia church last Friday afternoon, Rev. Messrs. George D. Meigs and J. F. Calkins conducting the service.  (Tuesday, December 31, 1889, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
