"Salisbury Advertiser" Mar 12 1910: Fatal Accident At Princess Anne. Sidney Pollitt, of Habnab, Somerset County, Wednesday morning met with a fatal accident at the railroad crossing South of the Princess Anne depot. He had come to Cohn and Bock's mill with a load of Iumber, and on his return his team of two mules was struck by a freight train going North. The mules, having their legs broken, were shot. Mr. Pollitt was hurt internally and mangled. He was taken to the Peninsula General Hospital at Salisbury, where he died in the afternoon. He was unmarried and resided with his mother and sister near Habnab. The watchman at the crossing signaled for Mr. Pollitt not to cross the track, and it is supposed he missunderstood the warning and was on the railroad before he could be stopped.
