Note

From Fay Ann Polson, Tulsa, OK. From Travis R. Hart, 3650 Country Club Dr, Bakersfield, CA 93306. From Bettye Gann Fowler, 501 Hassett Ave, Ft Worth, TX 76114-3770 11/25/96

!From Gentry Journal-Advance Oct. 21, 1898: Decatur has again been the scene of a frightful railway collision in which three lives were lost and several others seriously hurt. The north-bound freight last Friday morning was run into by a single engine from the north at a curve in the road near the Blair trestle about a mile north of Decatur. The collision was caused, it is said, by the stopping of the engineer's watch on the south bound train, which he had not discovered and was running off time. The engines were damaged almost beyond repair, several empty box cars smashed into kindlings and the loss to the company is considerable. The saddest part of the unfortunate accident is the loss of life. Will and Henry Gann, brothers, who have resided at this place for about two years, were supposed to have been riding in a box car and were killed outright...They had started to Missouri to secure employment...The remains were brought down Friday night by W. D. McGaugh and Rev. R. C. Kemper and were interred Saturday afternoon. Both of the young men leave wives, father, mother, brothers and sisters to mourn their untimely death...The Gann boys came here from Roller's Ridge and were hard working, honest and enjoyed the respect of all who knew them.
