New Albany (IN) Daily Ledger, September 16, 1893.
Patrick Mack, for many years a locomotive engineer on the Dinkey line of the
Pennsylvania, died at his home on East Fourth Street between Main and the
railroad at five o'clock on the afternoon of the 14th of typhoid fever after
an illness of 29 days. He was a man of integrity and respected by the
officials of the company he had served as fireman and engineer for 25
years-21 years in the latter capacity. He had hosts of friends in this
city, Jeffersonville and Louisville, who will feel genuine sorrow for his
death. He leaves a wife and four children-Mamie, Katie, John and Joseph
Mack. Engineer Mack fired the first locomotive into this city over the J.
M. & I. Road and fired the first engine run over the Louisville bridge. He
was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
