George Wilkie, 52, grocer, died attempting to save James Eaid, 66, laborer, from being run over by a train, Brown City, Michigan, June 28, 1912. Eaid, who appeared not to notice a passenger train approaching about 150 feet from him, stopped between the rails in front of the train. Wilkie, who saw his danger, sprang upon the track and grabbed his shoulder. As he did so, the pilot of the locomotive struck them. One of Eaid’s feet was cut off, and Wilkie was killed. 10586-867
