General Notes: Husband - John Sloan McConnell

---

On March 7, 1880, he saw a workman on the track of the Denver & Rio Grande railway menaced by a rapidly approaching train and ran to his rescue. This he accomplished, but only after his own foot was caught and crushed. There was no surgeon nearer than Denver, many miles away, and he was taken there, suffering the most intense pain. The foot was amputated, but blood poisoning ensued, which caused his death about three months after the acci­dent.
