ENOCH BLACKWELL
KILLEDBY TRAIN - Body of Watchman Found Beside Track Early Sunday Morning.
Enoch Blackwell, aged 35 years, of Blackwell, was found dead along the New York Central track, 9 Aug 1936 at 7:30 o'clock Sunday morning, at a point about 3 miles south  of Blackwell.  He is believed to have been struck by a train. He was employed as watchman for the railroad. Lieut. A. J. Stivers, of the railroad police, State Trooper William B. Davis, and Captain C. E, Whipple, Lycoming county detective, are making an investigation. The body of Blackwell, whose post was at Trout Run Narrows, where towering rock cliffs overhang the railroad and Pine creek, was discovered by John Seligia, who immediately notified W. C, Marshall and his sister, Mrs. Walter Shade, of Wellsboro, who occupy a cabin near Blackwell's Watchman’s shanty.  Hurrying to the scene, Mr. Marshall and Mrs. Shade found Blackwell dead, although there was still some warmth in his body.  His face was badly crushed, with a deep wound on his forehead. New York Central officers were summoned and learned that Blackwell was last reported alive by the crew of a freight train which passed his station between 3 and 4 o'clock Sunday morning. The trainmen said that Blackwell exchanged greetings with them at that time. Several trains passed the station from 3 a. m.until 7:30 a. m., when the body was found, including one that was northbound at 4 a. m. However, although investigators admitted the possibility that this train may have struck Blackwell, they pointed out that his body lay slightly to the south of the entrance to his shanty, rather than to the north, as probably would have been the case had a northbound train hit him. Blackwell's shanty is located about eight feet from the near rail of the single track. His body was lying just outside the building in the limited area between the shanty and the tracks.  As a slide watchman, Blackwell’s duty was to patrol a section of track in the narrows and to warn trainmen, if rock slides occurred. Blackwell is survived by his widow the former Gladys Hilborn of Slate Run, and six small sons, his parents Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Blackwell, brother, Arnold, of Blackwell, and three sisters, Mrs. Susan Smith, of Utica, N. Y., Mildred Atherly and Mrs. Hazel Parr of Albany.  The funeral was held yesterday at Blackwell; burial in the Blackwell Cemetery.
