This community was shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Herman Thomsen. The tragedy occured Monday afternoon at the Ingham railroad crossing when a freight train struck the pickup apparently throwing him from the vehicle and into the path of the train. Several rail cars passed before the engine was stopped.

Mr. Thomsen was traveling south and was hit by a west bound train. He was killed instantly.
