    "Left arm severed & head injured falling from freight train." Unmarried.

    Note: Occupation given as "sign painter," not railroad employee, so he was probably "riding the rails," which was not uncommon by those looking for work during the Great Depression.

    Note also that the obit says "he either fell or was pushed," which may be what the family was told by the Arizona authorities
