Mary Jo and Julia,
The following may give you some leads to go on. I can no longer backtrack
to my source (it was before I began creating good electronic trails).
Aug 6, 1891
A West Shore Railroad passenger train is struck by a freight near
Montezuma, New York, killing fourteen people, 13 of them Italian
immigrants. The conductor, Tobin, and the trainman are indicted for
homicide.
