John J. F. Sheehan, 42, teamster, died saving Anna, 11; Lillian, 7; Margaret, 4, and Mary Jones, 3, from a runaway, Albany, New York, August 27, 1912. The children were playing in the street, and a team of horses, drawing a wagon and having no driver, became frightened and galloped toward them as fast as they could go. Sheehan ran diagonally toward the horses from the sidewalk, grasped a line near the bit, and exerted his strength to stop the horses. The horse he held fell on him 30 feet from the children, and he received injuries from which he died an hour later. 9204-828
