H. W. Grath
Report of Coroner's Inquest.
STATE OF INDIANA,
PORTER COUNTY. } SS:
BE IT REMEMBERED THAT ON THE TWENTY-first day of September, 1880, information was given to me that the dead body of a man lay in Union township, in said state and county, supposed to have come to his death by violence or casualty, as to ascertain so far as possible the cause and circumstances of said death, witnesses were called and sworn, and their material evidence reduced to writing, signed by myself, and filed in the clerk's office of said county. Whereupon, I find decedent's name was H. W. Grath, that he was about twenty five years old, of light complexion, five feet nine inches high, dressed in common working clothes, and that he came to his death by having fallen from a freight train and being run over by about twenty-two cars. His person was committed to the charge of Undertaker Lepell for burial.
Wm. C. PARAMORE,
Coroner of Porter County.
