[Note: These soldiers were killed in a train wreck during the Chicago Railroad Strike (Pullmam Strike). "By July 10, President Grover Cleveland ordered the strikers to cease or be arrested. The next day he sent in Federal troops and the rail yards were secured by Marines and Army Cavalry. A train was assembled and left for the Bay area on July 11. It was waylaid and derailed by strikers as it came into Yolo County and a number of soldiers were killed. The troops followed up by attacking the strikers resulting in more killings. By July 13 the strike was over." Source: California HISTORIAN
