AUTO PARTY HIT BY TRAIN ; TWO KILLED
Victims Were Touring
Country and Engine Went Dead
Sheldon , Ill ., Aug . 29,
1913
"Two persons were killed and another was probably
fatally injured in a grade crossing accident three miles
southeast of this city . An automobile containing five
passengers was struck by a fast running Big Four passenger
train. The dead : Mrs. Jacob Rediger, of Chenoa, Illinois;
Elnora McMuIlin , adopted daughter of Mrs. Rediger. The
injured : Clarence J. Rediger, son of Mrs. Rediger. The
Redigers had left their home in Chenoa at noon for a touring
trip through Ohio and a visit with relatives in that state.
In approaching the grade crossing the motor car slowed down
and the engine went dead on the railroad tracks. Benjamin Rediger and his father , Jacob Rediger got down from the
front seat to inspect the engine and start it. They failed
to see the approach of the train until it was almost upon
them . They shouted a warning to the three occupants of the
rear seat and then leaped back as the locomotive struck the
automobile. The train was twenty minutes late and running
close to sixty miles an hour."
Ben B. Roediger is in Chenoa, Illinois in 1920, 71, born in Germany. Simply because of so many Chenoa residents who cash-claimed land in southeast Logan County, he's the most likely.
Benjamin B. Rediger and Fanny Smith's son B.G. married Margarette Atwood in 1901 East St. Louis.
