    Notes 
    • From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of4 April  2023

      New York Tribune, New York City, N. Y. Pub. Wednesday, April 9, 1919, Pg. 5.

      Guard Falls Between Cars.

      B. R. T. Employee Killed in Williamsburg Bridge Accident

      Archibald Raynor, twenty-five years old, a guard employed on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, was killed early last evening in the Williamsburg Bridge, when he fell between two cars of the train on which he was working. The accident was not discovered for some time and police believed that several trains passed over his body.

      Raynor was a guard on the train which left the Manhattan end of the bridge during the rush hour. It was though that he may have been possibly pushed from the platform by the crowd which forces its way onto all trains leaving about that time. [1]
