The following are others among the 34 cases on file:
An adult male of unknown race, having been hit by a train, found Nov. 17, 1914 at the railroad tracks near Wagner’s Switch in Pocono Lake, Tobyhanna Township. Found with him were two letters from his mother, a half-pint bottle of whiskey, a small knife, a pair of gloves, a drinking cup, a handkerchief and a few papers. He was a stranger to the area, reportedly employed by the Brady Brothers ice plant on Trout Creek in Coolbaugh Township.

I couldn't find any MSM updating on these efforts, the case is not in Namus or DoeNetwork. Anyone with old newpaper subscriptions able to see any relevant reporting from 1914?
