• Documents		Obituary- Startup, Garelton 1 Garley Startup the Victim of Tragic Accident Garley C. Startup, aged 29, one of our young farmers living three-quarters of a mile south of the Kingsville station, died last night at 8 o’clock from the injuries received about 9 a.m. yesterday when he was struck by Union Pacific train No. 106, the morning “Plug” at the crossing just west of the Kingsville depot. Mr. Startup had gone to the Kingsville school house to secure the Overland car owned by his uncle, Ed James, which had been driven to the school house by Miss Vina James, the teacher of Kingsville school. Mr. Startup’s own car had stalled and as he was preparing to take his little son to Topeka to see a doctor, he asked for the James car. He had started back to his home from the school house. The road jogs to the east a short distance before turning at right angles to cross the tracks and it is presumed he was in a deep study that he did not notice the oncoming train until it was too late to stop altho the ground showed he had slid the wheels several feet before the front wheels were struck by the train. The automobile was tossed clear of the track on the north side and totally demolished. Mr. Startup sustained a compound fracture of the left arm, a broken lower jaw, and the left side of his face was badly bruised and skinned. The train stopped and Startup was taken to Stormont hospital in Topeka. Several Rossville people were on the train but from papers scattered about it was thought at first the injured man was Mr. Ed James, and it was so reported in Rossville. This report was corrected shortly afterward but not until relatives had been severely shocked. Mr. Startup never regained consciousness before his death. As we go to press today funeral arrangements have not been made. Mr. Startup is the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. B.F. Reser and the son of J.C. Startup. He is survived by his widow and two children, his father and four brothers.
