My g-g-grandfather, Christopher Columbus McCauley, was reputed to have worked for the Monon Railroad as an engineer and was killed in a train accident on 10-31-1895 in Monon, IN. I can find neither were he was employed by the railroad or of an accident on that date. Could someone there please check the paper for an obituary on or around that date? His wifes' name was Elizabeth.
Thanks,
Beth Sullivan
