Yes there was a train accident in Kouts, IN, on Oct. 10,1887. I know of this because there
is a family buried in the cemetery near my aunt's house in North Judson, IN, who died
in that accident. It is a very old cemetery, which we walked through as children, and I
became interested in the accident when I came upon the grave of this family again, as an
adult, and noticed that the wife was born exactly 99 years before me. Cannot find out too
much information about it, but from what I have found, apparently a freight train crashed
into the pullman of a disabled passenger train, in heavy fog.
