Mr. Tressler was 60 years old and had lived on this farm, which was cut diagonally by the railroad, practically all his life. He had started to town after dinner, and in making the trip had to cross the track seven times. A passenger train due, before noon, was running 2 hours and 50 minutes late. It caught the rear wheels of his buggy and threw him out with such force that his skull was fractured and his arm and shoulder broken. The train backed up to Montpelier with the dying man, who lived only a short time after being taken to the hospital.
