• Notes

  from "Massachusetts, Death Records, 1841-1915" (ancestry.com) Charles W. Dodge, a widower, age 35y 2m, a clerk residing in Salem MA, born Charleston MA to John & Charlotte (McIntire) Dodge, died 11 Oct 1882 in Boston of a railroad accident. from Findings by the Commissioners on Recent Accidents in "Boston Herald", 18 Oct 1882 (genealogybank.com) Death of Charles W. Dodge at Eastern railroad station Oct. 11, 1882 - This sad accident resulted form the insufficient accommodations of the station and from the crowd and hurry of a general holiday. Mr. Dodge was on his way to the cards, and therefore ad the rights of a passenger. The platform on which he was walking extends beyond the walls of the station and is contracted to the width of four feet nine inches. This narrow platform was obstructed by trunks and baggage. A trunk of extraordinary shape and length was thrown from a truck by contact with a car, which was "thrown" on the station to make up a train. This struck Mr. Dodge with such force that he died before he could reach the hospital. The managers of the Eastern Railroad Company did not contest before the board their liability for the fatal result, and regret that they have thus far failed to obtain the additional land which would enable them to increase their facilities.
