From The Dayton Herald dated 6 September 1928, page 1:
Mrs. Sallie Stewart was found dead this morning about 6:30, lying between the tracks of the Southern railway about 200 feet north of the Second ave., crossing. No eyewitnesses are available at the time of going to press and it is presumed that she was walking between the track going to work when a north bound train was passing and probably a door on a box car was hanging open and struck her in the back of the head breaking her neck. Funeral arrangements have not as yet been announced.
