"One of the deadliest accidents* in our area's history took place exactly 100 years ago today. 29 people were killed and 62 injured when a Lehigh Valley Railroad train derailed about 20 miles east of Rochester. According to investigators at the time, it was a defective rail on a 400 foot bridge in Manchester, NY that shattered into seventeen pieces and sent at least 3 of the cars into Canandaigua Outlet. Newspaper reports described the scene as a "twisted and splintered mass of wreckage." "Train No. 4, east-bound, left Buffalo, N. Y. at 10:35 A. M., 40 minutes late. It consisted of twelve cars, and was hauled by engines Nos. 2476 and 1804. At Rochester Junctionexternal link, a station 20 miles west of the point of accident, two additional cars were picked up, so that at the time of the accident there were fourteen cars in the train, in the following order: One express car, one mail car, one baggage car, four coaches, Pullman sleeper Austin, dining car, two coaches, parlor car Emelyn, and two coaches. On approaching the west end of Manchester Yard, train No. 4 found the signals at caution, and, being required by rule not to exceed a speed of twenty-five miles per hour through this yard, the speed was reduced accordingly. On arriving at the east end of the yard, all of the blocks being clear, the enginemen of both engines began to use steam in order to increase the speed of the train, so that at the time of the accident the train was probably not exceeding a speed of about 25 miles per hour." "The train was derailed by a broken rail, 247 feet west of a steel girder deck bridge spanning Canandaigua Outlet, causing the death of 27 passsengers and 1 employee, and injuries to 59 passengers and 4 employees. One of the injured passengers died afterwards, making a total of 29 persons killed and 62 injured." "The two engines and the first five cars were not derailed. Grand Trunk coach No. 2187, the sixth car in the train, had one truck derailed, while all of the following cars were derailed. The Pullman sleeping car Austin was leaning over to the right; the dining car was down the embankment on its side, just east of the bridge; Lehigh Valley coach No. 237, the 10th car in the train, was resting on its side in the bed of the Outlet, 40 feet below; Lehigh Valley coach No. 293, the 11th car, was standing on one end in the bed of the Outlet, the rear end of it extending about 15 feet above the top of the bridge and resting against the corner of the parlor car Emelyn, which remained on the bridge. The majority of the fatalities were in coaches Nos. 237 and 293, both of which were of wooden construction." - Rochester Subway.…

A fine copy. 2006 Stapled Binding. 23 pp. "A century after the establishment of the Industrial School of Rochester, (which became Rochester Children's Nursery, today Rochester Childfirst Network), the Democrat & Chronicle recalled "A class of neglected, destitute.lawless children existed. They roamed the alleys of the town, they pilfered and begged. They were children, who were unable to attend public schools and who had no moral or religious training." The city of Rochester was scarcely two decades old when civic-minded women noticed that these children were without direction or support. In the fall of 1856 Mrs. Ebenezer Griffin visited an industrial school in Brooklyn, making note of how it might serve as a model for the growing city in western New York. Mrs. Ebenezer Griffin, Mrs. David C. Alling, Mrs. Henry A. Brewster, Mrs. Alfred Ely, Mrs. George Ely, Mrs. Gilman Perkins, Mrs. Edwin Scrantom and Mrs. Seth Terry established the Industrial School of Rochester. …
