Margaret I. Davies, 33, clerk, saved Charles E. Bodamer, 47, retired, from being run over by a train, Sharon, Pennsylvania, December 29, 1909. Standing on hard-packed snow, between the track and a pile of snow three feet from it, Miss Davies grasped Bodamer, who had fallen across the rail in front of an approaching freight train. Dragging him outside the rail just as the engine passed, she lay on him and held his legs to prevent his flinging them on the rail again, until the train stopped with the engine 200 feet past them. 4626-337
