Notes
Time Line
1908. March 23. Section Man Killed. Wesley Eakett, a section man on the Munising railroad, was almost instantly killed at Stillman. He was leaning against the door of the snow plow, looking out, when it suddenly slid, letting him fall to the track. Th immense snow banks on either side left no room for Eakett to move, and the wheels of the plow crushed his head. [Port Huron Times Herald-1908-0323]
