This Day In History: 1903-01-24

When a leg was found on the tracks near the Mahwah Depot a search was made.  Remants of the body of James Henry Clark were found for a considerable distance.  He had apparently been run over by a number of trains.  Clark had gone out to the tracks to pick up coal (made short by the national coal strike).  He was a moulder in the Brake Shoe Foundry.  He was 32 years old and leaves a wife and two children.
