WILLIAM SERERY’S BODY FOUND BY RAILROAD TRACKS Mechanicsville Boarding House Em- ploye Killed by Train. The body of William Serery, about 50, employed at _the nch River boarding house, Mechanicsville, was found early Wednesday morning by the crew of an incoming south bound train, lying beside the tracks, a short |. distance above Putnam foundry. The man was undoubtedly struck by one of the night trains. The head was so badly crushed it was not until later in the day that iGentification was possible. The body was removed to a local undertaking room and in searching the pocket a ey was found on which was stamped F. R. B. H. No. 4” An undertaker thought that this might stand for French River Boarding House, and in- vestization showed that this was cor- rect. Serery was a mill hand, but of late was working at the boarding house. As_yet no relatives have been found. At Mechanicsville it was sald that the man had at one time mentioned a brother in Fall River, but communi- cation with the chief of police of that city has failed to locate any relatives. Serery wore a comparatively new suit, and new shoes, but no money was found on the body. It is not possible to state what train struck and killed the man as there are several through night trains pass- ing the spot where the body was found.
