Two Conductors’ Last Ride Ends Near Latona

Yesterday morning the bodies of Thomas Black and Frank Parrott, the two men killed in the railroad accident near Latona Monday evening, were recovered. The body of Parrott had been straightened and everything done to remove, as far as possible, all signs of their violent death. Coroner Morton decided not to hold an inquest, as the case was clearly one of unavoidable accident. Mrs. Black arrived yesterday from her home in Everett and completed arrangements for the burial of her husband. The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock this morning from the undertaking rooms of Bonney & Stewart, and the remains will be interred in Lake View cemetery. The funeral will be under the auspices of the Order of Railway Conductors, of which the deceased was a member. Black was 32 years of age and had been married about nine years. Some of his relations live at Woodland, Cal., and others at Sacramento, the former home of Mrs. Black. He leaves a widow and one child. It is thought she may receive insurance money from the conductors' organization, but as there is a question whether his dues were paid up she may not be able to collect it. Parrott was also 32 years of age and lived on Third Street, this city. He had no relatives in Washington. He was a member of Fairhaven Lodge, K. of P., and also of the Order of Railway Conductors, and his estate will receive a death benefit from each order. His parents, who live at Alto, Mich., were notified of the accident by I. Korn, president of the bureau of relief for the Knights of Pythias, and yesterday Mr. Korn received an answer asking that the remains be embalmed and sent East. Accordingly the body will be placed on the overland train Wednesday, consigned to George Parrott, Alto, Mich. The Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Company has actively co-operated with the railway conductors and Knights of Pythias in arranging for the funerals.
