John Girton died on the job, huh???? I was amused when I read that he died of acute indigestion... Don't think that would kill a person these days. Back then, nobody ever really knew what killed a person.
Sounds like he had a great job... My Dad worked for the railroad --and we took many trips on trains when I was growing up. I wish we still had 'good' trains around for transportation.
Interesting post, Harriet.
Hugs,

I agree acute indigestion is different I wondered if he had a heart attack.
