Amon Chew, an engineer on the Bee Line Railroad, formerly a resident of Rome and Shiloh, this county, met his death at Cleveland on Wednesday morning at half-past 2 o'clock, in the following tragic manner: Pony Engine, No. 40, took a train of cars to the Bee Line yard near the Cincinnati slip, and was returning across the high trestle crossing at Scranton avenue. The draw had been swung while the engine was over. The fireman hearing the ringing of the bridge bell jumped from the engine to the trestle and escaped, while Chew remained on the locomotive, which plunged off the end of the trestle into the river, thirty feet below. The body of the unfortunate engineer was recovered at 2:00 in the afternoon of the same day. Mr. Chew was a man of about 35 or 36 years of age, and leaves a wife and child, the latter a boy of 11 years. It is said that he was the owner of the home his family occupy at No. 48 Woodbine Street, and, as a result of his industry, temperate and economic habits, was in quite comfortable circumstance. He had been in the employ of the railroad company for twelve or fifteen years, and was a Mason. His remains were taken on Friday morning to Shiloh, where his sister Mrs. Silas Ferrell, resides, and from whose home the funeral took place on Friday at 1 p.m., the interment taking place in the family burying ground at Rome.

Ann Southerland Gregory's gravestone is inscribed:
Here lie the remains of
Anne Gregory.
Who departed this life 28th of October 1841
In the 74th year of her age.
She was consort of
William Gregory of King Willia County,
Whose body reposes near this of his beloved wife.
Cheerfulness, the result of innocence, always sparked in her
fac, and by the sweetness of her temper she gained universal
good will. Her husband enjoyed in her a dutiful wife; her
children an indulgent mother; her servants a gentle mistress,
and her acquaintences a faithful firend.
Rest here oppressed by pale disease no more,
Here find that calm thou sought so oft before.
Rest undistrubed beneath this humble shrine,
Angels awake thee with a voice like thine. | Southerland, Ann (I7768)
