AGED LANCASTER COUNTY RESIDENT MEETS DEATH WHEN STRUCK BY TRAIN

The buggy was on the last track of the four-track right-of-way when struck, and Mr. Fisher was thrown into the air against a concrete pillar.
He is survived by his wife, 10 children, and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
