Frank Carleton Pearce

M, ID# 21017, b. 23 August 1899, d. 3 September 1917
  • Note*: • From a family history: "He played piano, drums, and cornet. After completing his education in the public schools at home, he studied telegraphy and while a mere boy had charge of a small railroad station about six miles north of Hillsboro, Texas. He met death there on September 3, 1917, when only eighteen years old. The mystery connected with his death remained unsolved. It is certain that he was run over by a train, the engineer of which claimed he knew nothing of the accident until he arrived in Hillsboro and a portion of the young man's clothing was discovered on the pilot of the locomotive. Some members of the family believed that he met with foul play and was placed on the track a short time before the train was due to arrive."
    • "Killed by Freight Train.
       "(Associated Press Dispatch.)
       "Hillsboro, Tex., Sept. 3 [1917].—Frank Pearce, Missouri, Kansas and Texas station agent at Lovelace was killed by a southbound freight train near Lovelace early today. Discovery of a part of Pearce's clothing on the pilot of the engine when it reached here was followed by a search, which resulted in the finding of the badly mangled body."8,9
