KETCHUM, Charles, From the Lorain Times Herald (May
11, 1939 front page)
ESCAPED ONCE BY JUMPING, Charles Ketchum Missed Same
Death Just One Year Ago
FALLS INTO RIVER, Train Traps Shipworker on Railroad
Span; Dies Instantly, By James Mahony
Within a few feet of where he missed death by a split
second less than a year ago, Charles Ketchum, 55, 1046 F st was killed
last night. Struck by a freight train on the Nickel Plate railroad bridge
over Black river, Ketchum was instantly killed. His body plunged
45 feet into the river below. Taking the same shortcut" to his east side
home that he had used for many years, the former ship builder was within
a hundred feet of safety when he was trapped on the narrow rairoad bridge
by the train. The accident happened at 6:55 pm. Coroner S. C. Ward
said that death was caused instantly by a broken neck. Ward also said that
the victim suffered fractures of both legs, crushed chest and numerous
cuts and bruises about the head and body. Last summer, Ketchum eas trapped
on the railroad bridge by another train, but managed to reach the end of
the trestle in time to leap to safety by the margin of a couple of feet.
So close was the train when he jumped that witnesses seeing him leap and
fall, thought he had been struck by the locomotive
and summoned an ambulance. The same ambulance
responded to last nights ambulance call. Railroad officials said that Ketchum
was within 100 feet of the east end of the bridge when he was crowded to
the side by the train.
Authorities believed that Ketchum failed to see the
fast approaching train in time to reach safety because of the curve in
the terack about 300 yards east of the scene of the accident. Railroad
workers who were near the scene at the time of the accident said that Engineer
Frank Huber of Conneaut, O sounded the whistle and applied the brakes as
the engine bore down on Ketchum. Ketchum was reported by authorites to
have crouched on a narrow plank beside the rails apparently hoping the
train would miss him. The cylinder of the locomotive struck the side of
his head. The impact broke his neck. John Arndt, Vermilion, tender
in the bridge look-out tower, said that Huber stopped the train within
100 feet of where the man was struck. Railroad officials said that
the train was slowing down for the safety stop at the intersection of the
Baltimore & Ohio tracks near Broadway. Lorain coastguards were called
and recovered Ketchum's body about 45 minutes later. The body had
drifted nearly a half mile south of the bridge. Mate Merle McCune
was in charge of the coastguard crew.
Survivors are one brother Earl and two sisters, Mrs.
John Meister, and Mrs Evan Bevan, Lorain. The body is at the Sidney
B. Royce funeral home, where funeral services will be held atr 2 pm tomorrow
with Rev C. A. Dowell, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, officiating."

Times Herald
After many long weeks of intense suffering, the wife
of Police Captain. S. L. Ketchum succumbed to the inevitable. She
died this morning at 4:40 and with her death came reliefe from the most
excruitiating pain. For many days, the suffering patient was given
opiates and anesthetics were administered freely. Her death many
weeks agao would have been welcomed by her. While many friends sympathise
with the family, still they know that nothing could relieve the pain but
death. Everything available had been done to relieve her of the cancerous
growth but it was impossible. The deceased was born here 56 years
ago and was the daughter of Graham Lamb. Selah Lamb and Mrs. Walter
Rose, of this city and Timothy Lamb of California, are surviving brothers
and sister. Two daughters and the husband mourn the death of a kind
and patient mother and wife. The funeral wil take place Sunday afternoon
and burial will be made at Elmwood cemetery. Rev. Thompson will officiate.
"A VERY LARGE FUNERAL
One of the largest funerals ever held in this city
was that of Mrs. Ketchum yesterday afternoon at the family home on Oberlin
Ave. Only a small portion of the persons present were able to gain
access to the house. The residence was crowded as were also the porch
and front lawn. Rev A. E. Thompson conducted a most impressive service
and a quartette rendered several beautiful selections. The floral
tributes were many indicating great respect for the desceased as well as
the members of the family. Many friends, lake captains, policemen,
Knights of Pythias and Lady Macabees, as well as other orders remembered
the bereaved. The casket was buried with flowers. The policeman
formed a guard of honor as the casket was removed from the house.
Four of the acted as pallbearers. The remains were taken to a C.
E. & W special car and taken to Elmwood cemetery for burial."
