My wife's family owned slaves. They have a document that transfers

Dang, felled by a train, that seems uncalled for.

 It's a heck of a way to go. Some of the story doesn't make much sense.

I noticed that too.

The article says that he was struck in Missouri and his mangled body was
discovered in Oklahoma. In the same article it says that he died in a
police ambulance on the way to the hospital. I think this is the way it
went down.

I do too, the notion he and the engineer rode him down the rails like a dead cow across several states is dime novel sensationalism.
He done good justice on those rustlers, and that matters.
