North Tonawanda NY Evening News - 1/3/1908

Charles Boldt, 67 years old, of 252 street crossing of the New York Cen-
Grove street was instantly killed, and
William Wildt. 62 years old, of 274
William street was so badly injured
that he may die as the result of being
struck by a train at the Morgan
street crossing of the New York Cen-
tral in Tonawanda last evening.
A lad about ten years old, whose
name the police failed to obtain, rush-
ed up to Patrolman John Alarie in
Main street shortly before 9 o'clock
and gasped out* the fact that two old
men were lying in the road near the
Morgan street crossing of the Central.
The lad had seen blood on the men
and heard groans and he was old
enough to realize that they had been
seriously injured.
One Instantly Killed.
Without waiting to ascertain the
lad's name or anything further, the
officer followed the boy hurriedly back
to the crossing and there was revealed
a horrifying scene. The news
spread rapidly that two men had been
killed by* a train and a large number
of people were soon assembled.
Wildt was carried to the depot a
short distance away and Dr. H. M.
Edmonds was summoned. In a comatose
state, the injured man was placed
on the next passenger train going
south and removed to the Emergency
Hospital in Buffalo.
Medical Examiner Earl G. Danser
of Buffalo was notified. He directed
that Boldt's body be removed to Fred
Hamp's undertaking rooms on Young
street pending his arrival. It was
found that Boldt's neck was broken
and that his chest was crushed.
Danser Hit by Auto.
It was 11 o'clock before Dr. Danser
arrived at the undertaking rooms.
He was limping badly. In explaining
his crippled condition the medical examiner
gave excellent reason for not
arriving sooner. He was struck by an
automobile as he was alighting from
a trolley car on Main street in Buffalo
to transfer to a Falls car for
Tonawanda. Although sustaining a
very painful injury to his right leg,
he continued to Tonawanda.
No One Saw Accident.
While it is not known what train
struck the men, it is thought that the
Michigan Central passenger train
passing through the Tonawandas going
north a few minutes before the
men were found did the work. No other
train passed through just before
the men were found and it is thought
that they would have been discovered
before, had a previous train hit them.
At any rate, the train that struck
the men did nojt stop and the supposition
is that the crew of the engine
did not see them before or after they
were hurled from the track.
Boldt and Wildt were on their way
home from a meeting of the A.U.V.,
a Tonawanda German society, at the
lodge rooms in the Krauss block at
the corner of Main and Adam streets,
when they were struck. It is thought
they were so engrosed in conversa-
tion that they did not perceive the
approach of the train until it was too
late to escape.
The engine employed on the Michi-
gan Central line are of the largest
type. In passing through the Tona-
wandas they run very slowly and al-
most noiselessly. Unless the bell was
ringing the men would not likely
have known of the approach of the
train, unless they had been exercising
considerable diligence.
Wildt May Die.
Dr. Edmonds, who accompanied
Wildt to the hospital, stated that
there was a chance for the Injured
man to recover, although his age is
against him. His most serious injury
is a compound fracture of the
leg. A deep scalp wound was also
inflicted. Although suffering considerable
pain about the body, it is not
thought that he was internally injured.
Wildt is a married man.
Boldt is survived by a wife, three
sons, Fred and Lewis of Buffalo, and
Christ of Tonawanda, and two daughters,
Mrs. A. Lozo and Mrs. Charles
Gademski of Tonawanda.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late
residence and at 2:30 from the Ger-
man Emanual Church in Morgan
Street.

Charles married Sophia about 1862. Sophia was born in Oct 1841 in Germany; died on 27 Feb 1929 in Buffalo, Erie County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
