From the Honesdale Citizen January 4, 1872 :
- Mr. John Glossinger, of Salem, met with an accident near Hawley, on the morning of the 23rd, which resulted in his death. He was on his way to the above place with a large basket of poultry and eggs, riding upon a train on the Pa. Coal Co's road, and standing upon the bumpers, with his basket on top of the car. A sudden jerking of the train threw him off and he fell with his head between the bumpers. The cars at that moment came together again with great force and his head was crushed in an instant. He was about 75 years of age, and a highly respected citizen of the community in which he lived.
