Elliott
Hyatt
Cincinnati Daily Gazette, Monday, 5 September 1881, page 3
Yesterday evening about 5 pm a young man named Elliott Hyatt was run over by a train on the Short Line Railroad at the roundhouse, about three miles out from Newport. He was a brakeman on the switching train and was transferring cars at the time. In some manner, while walking along the tops of the cars, he fell through to the track.
His left leg below the knew was cut off and his head and other portions of his body were badly bruised. He was put in a caboose and hauled to Newport and taken to the residence of his parents. Dr. Dameron of this city and Dr. Kearns of Covington, were summoned. They at once amputated his leg.
Hyatt was about eighteen years old and lived with his father, Elliott Hyatt Sr. who is a carpenter living at 96 Jefferson street.
