-OLD ENGINEER PASSED AWAY.
After an illness extending over several months, Evander B. GILKEY, aged 41 years, one of the oldest engineers on the Mackinaw division of the Michigan Central railroad, died Tuesday evening at the home of his wife's uncle, Capt. B. W. MORGAN, 111 Litchfield street, of chronic heart disease.
The deceased came to this city from his home in Grayling three weeks ago yesterday, and during that time was treated by six different physicians but without avail. He was widely known in this city and in every village and city along the line of the Michigan Central railroad.
Twenty-two years ago he entered the service of the Michigan Central in this city, and after about five years was promoted engineer. He was known to be one of the most careful men running on the division, being a man of unusual good judgement and skill in handling trains.
He was respected and esteemed among his superiors and subordinates alike and became noted on the division as one of the few men who was never disciplined for any accident or other difficulty arising from any fault of his.
Funeral services will be held from St. Mary's church Friday morning at 9 o'clock, under the auspices of the local Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
The engineers will meet at the residence on Litchfield street to attend the funeral in a body. The pallbearers will be William KEYSER, M. FARRELL, Thos. J. DOYLE, Frank E. AYERS, John HATCHARD and George HORNING.
The deceased was insured in the B. of L. E. for $4,500. He is survived by Mrs. GILKEY, and two sons, aged 7 and 10 years respectively; his mother, Mrs. Mary GILKEY, and six brothers - Samuel of Portland, Me.; Stanley of Cleveland; Frank of Dallas, Tex.; Wilard of Bangor township, and Prescott and Ferdinand of this city.
Interment will be in St. Patrick's cemetery. - Bay City Tribune. (25 Jul 1907)
