Ground Under the Wheels

George DUPRE, a former resident of Rock Island and well known in this city, one of the well known east end brakemen of the rock Island road was killed at 11 o'clock Monday night at Joliet. He was coming west with Conductor Emerson. He fell between the cars, three of them passing over his body terribly mangling it. The burial took place yesterday at Atkinson, Ill., where the deceased is survived by a wife and six children. He was about thirty-five years of age and was insured for $2,000 in the Maccabees.

I am not related and have no further information on this individual.
