    1. Killed at Bertram, IA June 5, 1925 by C&NW fast train, all 3 boys buried together. I was curious why three of her brothers died in the same year. William , Winslow and David all died the same day and are buried side by side with one long marker,

    3. Is there a way I could get this old postcard photo. This is my mother as a baby. Wrote before but no answer back. Dr. and Mrs. E.W. Bittner were my grandparents.

  2. Bonnie Bittner is/was my mother. Yes, the accident was a terrible tragedy. Mom was the oldest child, just 14 when the accident happened.
