Bio

Arthur O. Flynn, 27, fireman on D. & R. G. W. freight train No. 61, was killed instantly when struck on the head as the train passed under the Santa Fe overhead tracks, 1 1/4 miles west of Florence at 8:35 o'clock Friday evening. Flynn was walking from the rear engine of the double header to the front engine for orders and had evidently forgotten about the under passage through which the train traveled. He was on the water tender of the front engine when the train passed under the other tracks. The overhead struck him on the head, crushing his skull and killing him instantly. The Santa Fe tracks which pass over the D. & R. G. W. tracks at this point are used for hauling to and from the coal camps. Flynn was the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Flynn of Cotopaxi. He had been a fireman for the D. & R. G. W. railroad company for about eight years and was well known throughout this district. He had made his home in Pueblo for some time. No funeral arrangements have been made, awaiting the arrival of relatives. The body is at the Canon mortuary. Flynn is survived by his widow, a bride of two weeks, his parents and several brothers. Mrs. Flynn came to Canon City from Pueblo late Friday night after she had been told of her husband's death. Dr. Kon Wyatt, county coroner, investigated the death and pronounced it accidental. No inquest will be held. --The Salida Mail (Salida, CO) Nov. 19, 1929 Burial: 19 Nov 1929
