An article appearing in the Elizabethville Echo, 4 October 1894, describing the death of Frank Rose, at Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania:
KILLED AT MILLERSBURG
Frank Rose, brakeman on the Summit Branch Division, with his home at Harrisburg, was killed early Monday morning at Millersburg. The particulars of the accident as seen by an eye witness are as follows: While shifting a car loaded with limestone, into a siding, he gave the signal to pull ahead which was misunderstood by another brakeman who signaled to back. The sudden jarring threw Mr. Rose from the car and he fell across the rail, but with presence of mind he managed to get clear of the rail only to be caught by the grease box of a low car which in a short time doubled him up and injured him enternally [sic]. After being released from his fatal position he was still conscious and able to talk. He lived forty-five minutes, when he expired. He leaves a wife and three children and was a favorite along the road, and in the recent wreck on the Summit Branch Road, had to jump to save his life, or he would have been crushed between the cars. The caboose of his train has been draped in mourning. His remains were taken to Harrisburg.
