A Jamaica Carpenter Killed

New York, 1895

George Saunders, residing on New York avenue, Jamaica, being in a hurry to take a train homeward at East New York on Wednesday evening, crawled under the gates at the Manhattan crossing. He was struck by a west bound train and killed. His wife is lying dangerously ill with pneumonia. He leaves five children, the youngest being only four months old. Sanders was a carpenter and moved to Jamaica from Glenwood last fall. His remains were brought home yesterday afternoon.
