Glenn Lovell, 40, grocer, saved Ulysses G. Hunter 14, from being killed by a train, Tipton, Pennsylvania, March 15, 1943. Ulysses stood between the rails of a track on which a long freight-train was approaching. Lovell, who suffered from a heart ailment and had been warned against over-exertion, ran 42 feet across other tracks to Ulysses, reaching him when the locomotive was 20 feet distant and was moving at a reduced speed of eight m.p.h. Lovell threw his arms around Ulysses and ran carrying him from the track, clearing the path of the locomotive when it was five feet from them. The train came to a stop when the locomotive was 500 feet beyond them. 39815-3325
