ATCHISON COUNTY MAIL, Rock Port
25 Feb 1887 - A STOCKMAN'S UNTIMELY DEATH - W. R. Walkup, a farmer and shipper
living at Fairfax, Missouri, lost his life yesterday evening in front of
the main entrance to the stock yards. It is the old story -- two trains
passing in opposite directions. Mr. Walkup had waited for a north-bound
freight to pass, then hurriedly stepping across the track was caught by
the P & Ft. W. dnmmy, {that's how that word was spelled} which was passing
in the other direction. He was knocked down, his body across the track,
and horribly crushed. His remains were taken to the morgue, where
an inquest was held. He has been a shipper for a number of years,
was about 45 years old, and leaves a family to mourn his loss.

TARKIO AVALANCHE
Mr. Walkup was well known in this county, having been
born and raised here. He was a son of Samuel Walkup who settled in
an early day be the Missouri bluffs just north of the present home of Judge
John F. Sly. He was for several years engaged in the harness and saddlery
business at Milton. When Fairfax started up in 1881 he moved there
and engaged in the general mercantile business with W. H. Walker, under
the firm name of Walker and Stouffer. Going out of that he engaged
in the stock business which he followed up to the time of his death.
His body arrived at Fairfax Thursday and was buried Friday in the Campbell
cemetery. The funeral was preached in the Campbell C.P. church of
which he was a member. A wife and two children are left to mourn his
loss to whom the AVALANCHE extends heartfelt
sympathy.
James C. Trout was with Mr. Walkup when he was killed and came
near being caught in the same accident. They were crossing over to
get their tickets to come home and while the unfortunate man jumped forward
to pass in front of one engine and was caught by another coming from another
direction. Mr. Trout happened to see the danger in time to halt. |
