Chase County Kansas Obituaries 1863 - 2002

Smith, Paul

About 2 o'clock, last Sunday afternoon, Paul, the ten-year-old son of Mr. Paul Smith of Strong City, while trying to get on a passing freight train, fell beneath the cars and had his left leg cut off just below the knee. From the shock of which he died about 7 o'clock that evening. This fatal accident, together with the one that caused little Brig Chamberlain to lose his arm should be sufficient warning to the boys of Strong City to keep away from passing trains.
