Robinson and he and Dr. T. B. Todd dressed his injuries. He was standing at the north end of the depot and on the house track when an engine coupled onto a string of cars, knocking Mr. Dodson down. Lee Stith was standing in front of his garage and saw the train hit Mr. Dodson.

When Mrs. Self arrived she found her father fatally injured. The remains were taken to Knight's undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. The funeral was held, Monday at his home near Altona.
