The Niles Democrat
Saturday, 23 October, 1869

         The numerous friends of ALBERT APTED in this city and
       vicinity will read with regret and sorrow, of his sudden
       death by accident on Wednesday, at 11 a.m. For a short
       time past, in connection with his brother, he has been
       keeping an eating house at Owosso, which in the junction
       of the Detroit and Milwaukee, and Jackson, Lansing and
       Saginaw Railroads, but at the time of his death, as an
       accommodation, was temporarily breaking on a freight
       train in place of a sick man. He was killed at Chesaning,
       16 miles north of Owosso, while coupling cars. No one
       but a little boy witnessed the accident and he says that
       deceased apparently tripped on something and fell across
       the track. One wheel passed over him about the centre of
       the body, severing it nearly too. His death must have
       been produced instantly as the boy says he never spoke.
       The deceased was a young man highly esteemed and re-
       spected by all classes of citizens in this community.
       At the time of his death he was twenty-five years and
       two months old. His remains were brought to this city
       Thursday morning, and the funeral services were held
       at the Episcopal church on Friday, at 2 o'clock. A
       large concourse of citizens followed his remains to
       their final resting place.
