What is the name of your family? Back around 1932 my grandfather purchased the farm on the northeast corner of Cain Rd & Rte 5. I grew up there in the 60's & 70's. Back then the farm had a blacksmith shop (my grandfather's vocation), large equipment storage building, 2 chicken coops, and a barn that read "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco" facing toward Rte 5. Are you on the Evans side or Brant? I have some 1866 maps that show homestead locations and the property owners names, and some 1880 & 1909 maps that also show property lines in addition to the owners names. My father went to school at the one room Schoolhouse #7 on the west side of Rte 5 at present day Fillmore Avenue. There used to be a schoolhouse (#4) at the southwest corner of Cain Road & present day Hardpan Rd. Hardpan Road used to be named Nalpin Road and ran directly into the village of Angola. A few years back I received a letter from Bill Houston (retired Lake Shore Central supt.) telling me that Cain Road used to be named Townline Road. One of the maps I have shows the name as Evans Brant Road. Hallo Cyndi !!!

It's still there to this day, alot of the parts of the train and shrapnel, but the overgrowth of vegetation is preventing it to be seen without clearing it out. The old tressel by the Angola firecompany's substation is a good way to access it.

I'll betcha dollars to doughnuts that your grandmother knows Charity & her husband T.J. Since you're obviously interested in local history, make contact with them & arrange for a tour of their home. You'll be amazed at how beautifully they have restored their home, and also the historical research they have done regarding the property and the village of Angola itself. BTW... watch out for the Pigman when you're out on Holland Road 8-) Dan, the house where Charity Vogel and her husband live was the original Angola (Mosher) Hospital and is very close (within a few minutes walking distance) to the train wreck site.

A few years ago I was in New York & left some newspapers at his front door from 19 Dec 1867. I don't remember if there were any photos, but there may have been some drawings that were published with the articles describing this tragedy.

I live in derby, Neighboring town of Angola and attend Lake Shore high School in Angola and for the most part live in Angola. I'm writing this from my grandmothers house, which is about a 2 min walk away from the spot of the Accident and with her son/my uncle whose house was used as a hospital. I must say, I've inquired many times about this and this is the only article I've seen that has informed me so well. I've traveled Holland road, where the train passed over that fateful night and have walked the tracks. It is without a doubt haunted by the souls of the those who died. This is great.
