Findlay, O., Dec. 10.—Mrs. Charles Neely and three children, Grace, Goldie, and Sue, 12, 10 and 7 years, respectively, were instantly killed yesterday afternoon by a Baltimore & Ohio express train, at Denver, O. The dead represent the entire family of C. J. Neely, field superintendent of the Ohio Oil Company.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Neely drove to the Denver school where the children were pupils. All four were bundled in the buggy and the little boy was allowed to drive. The railroad at the railway crossing there is a steep grade of about 4 feet on both sides of the track and buildings obscure the view from either direction. Eye witnesses of the accident say that just as the buggy pulled upon the tracks the little boy, startled by the rushing train, jerked the reins and the horse stopped, leaving the rig squarely in the middle of the track.
