DAIRYMAN VICTIM OF ACCIDENT
Herman Feldman, 62 years old, widely known Campbell County
dairyman, was killed almost instantly yesterday afternoon when he was hit by a
Louisville and Nashville passenger train southbound on the Nashville tracks at
Wilder station three miles south of Newport Ky.
At the time of the accident, Mr. Feldman was on his way to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad office at Latonia Ky. where he intended to file a claim on a horse belonging to him which was killed nearly in the same spot where he met his death Tuesday night. According to members of the Feldman family, the horse strayed from its pasture onto the tracks, where it was hit by a freight train.
Yesterday when it was said that Mr. Feldman learned of the horse's death, he immediately communicated with railroad officials and was told to file a claim for the horse. Shortly after noon time yesterday Mr. Feldman informed members of his family that he was going to file the claim. Shortly afterward it was learned that he had been killed.
Coroner Walter B Hughes, of Campbell County, who was summoned, was told that apparently Mr. Feldman did not hear the train which hit him from the rear. After striking him, the train dragged him for 40 feet before it was brought to a stop. Death was due to a fractured skull and internal injuries, Coroner Hughes said.
Mr. Feldman was the owner of the Feldman Dairy Company of Newport. He was born in Germany and moved to Newport at an early age. At the age of 18 he entered the dairy business. He owned two dairies in Newport. He operated the one on Thurston street while his son Henry was in charge of the one at 620 Monmouth street, Newport. He was a resident of Campbell county for nearly a half century and lived on Licking Pike.
Mr. Feldman has three sons in the dairy business at Danville Va. They are Louis, Edwin and Herman Jr. Besides his widow Elizabeth and the three sons in Virginia, he is survived by three other sons and four daughters. He is also survived by three brothers, Henry, Albert and Frank of Newport and one sister, Anna of Germany. His body was removed to the undertaking establishment of Costigan and Roll at Newport. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
