He said it was moving fast and he could not flag the driver down. Others, who witnessed the accident, say that the machine was going very slowly and that they - did not see Hall at the crossing. The machine was caught by the pilot of the engine and carried for over a square before the train was stopped, Mr. Roach was thrown a distance of 20 feet and under a box car. When those who witnessed the tragic happening reached his side, his lips moved, but the words were not understood. Almost with the movement he expired.

He was one of the foremost men of affairs in the city and county and was a member of the firm of Roach & Roach, real estate dealers, “Deacon” Roach, republican chairman of the Ninth district, being his partner.
