Prominent physician of Lufkin fatally injured by train -- died at noon.
Dr. A.M. Denman, one of the most prominent physicians of Lufkin and who has resided there practically all of his life, was fatally injured this morning about two o'clock, by a switch engine, from the effect of which he died today about noon.
The particulars concerning the accident as we learn them are about as follows: Dr. Denman and one of the nurses at his hospital were returning from a professional call about 2 o'clock. On approaching the railroad crossing at the yards, a switch engine passed. As it did so, the Dr., who was in his auto, attempted to cross only to be crashed into by another train that was backing up.
The auto was completely wrecked. Dr. Denman sustained broken legs, being also hurt internally and the young lady had her clothing almost entirely stripped from her, but escaped bodily injury. The doctor was immediately removed to his sanitarium and treatment given, but news received from Lufkin just this afternoon stated that he was dead.
Dr. Denman had been a resident of that city all his life and has built up a very large practice. He was president and manager of the Denman Cannon Hospital and also manager of the local telephone system here.
