Special Train Over Pan Handle for Sunday Funeral

John Troxell, a prominent Omlah farmer, died last Friday at his farm home between Remington and Wolcott and his funeral was held Sunday at the Ornish chureh at Wolcott. To accommodate old Omlah peighbors from Fairbury, who desired to attend the funeral, the Pan Handle railroad ran a special train Sunday from Fairbury to Wolcott. The train did not take the people back home, however, as they remained in Wolcott over night and returned to Fairbury the next morning, a special car being attached to the regular train. Mr. Troxell came to Indiana from Illinois two years ago. He purchased the old Pettit farm, Just across the White county line. He was a splendid citizen and a leader in the Ornish church. Death wag duo to stomach trouble.
