bullet  Recorded Events in His Life

  • His obituary was published in the Moweaqua Call-Mail on 7 November 1889 in Moweaqua, Shelby County, Illinois, USA.

    A young man named Otis Tetrick of Oconee was killed by the cars at this place last Friday night. He was head brakeman on a wild freight, going south at 11:40 PM, J W Kalips, conductor, and John Gregory, engineer. It is supposed he fell while attempting to make a drop or running switch, and was caught under the cars, resulting in his neck, one arm and one leg being broken. An inquest was held and a brother of the deceased came from Oconee on Saturday. Per the inquest, the remains were shipped to Oconee where interment took place the next day. He says the boy lacked three days of being 21 and that his parents had urged him not to go on the railroad but their pleas were in vain. Jury's verdict: The cause of death of Otis Tetrick was caused by being crushed under the cars on wild training running south on I C Ry at Moweaqua, Illinois, at about 11:40 PM, 1 Nov 1889, while making a drop or running switch.
