Mr. Alyea had been employed with the Big Four railroad for more than twenty years and he was engineer of the train from which he suffered fatal injuries near Terre Haute, Ind.

During the past twenty-five years he had been living in Indianapolis, but always retained his many friendships in Shelby county and to these persons his death is a shock that is mourned deeply. Mr. Alyea was a good and conscientious man a true friend of his associates and endowned with energy and ambition in his vocation.

----------
Three Come Very Unexpectedly to the
Notice of Postmaster Sexton.
----------
Note: The two other deaths mentioned in this article are an unnamed son of Allen Dunning and Ed Hanson.New Palestine, Oct. 10, 1912.
Friend Elisha: It is with the deepest sorrow I call off our visit with you indefinitely. We received a telephone this evening that our oldest son, living in Wayne county, met with an accident today which resulted in his death. He was working with some kind of machinery, but we did not get particulars. Thus in the midst of life, death is lurking near.
Truly yours,
ALBERT ALYEA.
