STROKE TAKES ENGINEER ON JOB
While at work in his cab on a Southern Pacific locomotive last Saturday, 
Byron L. Angell, 48, popular engineer of the road, suffered a heart attack 
and dropped dead in his cab. Mr. Angell had pulled up his train preparatory 
to leaving the yards, shut oft his steam and stopped his train, Then the 
attack occurred.

He leaves his wife, a resident of Glendale, Calif., to mourn his demise. The 
funeral took place Tuesday at Forest Lawn cemetery in the Little Church of 
the Flowers and was attended by many of his co-workers and friends.

Employees of both the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific contributed in excess 
of $50.00 worth of floral offerings, testifying to esteem in which Mr. Angell 
was held.
