FORSYTHE FORMER
RESIDENT OF ADAMS

Victim of Explosion Saturday
Spent Boyhood at La Prairie

William M. Forsythe, the brakeman, who with William Harvey, a fireman, was instantly killed as the result of the explosion of the boiler of a Santa Fe locomotive at Pontoosuc, Saturday, was a resident for many years of Adams county, living at La Prairie. He was born near Bowen, March 5, 1871. For the past fourteen years he has been living in Galesburg, and during the greater part of the time was employed as a brakeman on the C.B. & Q. railroad.
He left the Burlington road a little over a year ago and had been on the Santa Fe for only two months. In the mean time he had railroaded some at St. Louis and at Freeport and for nearly five months was a motorman for the Galesburg Electric Motor and Power company.
His mother, Mrs. Martha L. Forsythe, resides at 319 North Fifth street. She received a telegram Saturday night as she returned fro [sic] the theater, informing her of her son's death, and left immediately for Galesburg. J. M. Forsythe, the only surviving member of the family, lives at Galesburg.
The deceased was married April 23 [sic], 1892, to Miss Maggie Scully of this city and to them were born two children, William and Edna, who are aged respectively twelve and ten years.
Mr. Forsythe has been very prominent among railroad circles and was a member of the B. of R. T. and of the Owls, and of the A. O. U. W.
Short funeral services will be held at the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock and at the First Methodist church at 2:30 o'clock.
