Mrs. Mary E. Ryan came to town this morning from the home of her father, Mr. Rufus Bassett, who lives a short distance north of this city, and identified the bodies of the two men killed by the cars as Michael D. Ryan and Charles Coller, cousins, the former being a brother of her husband, Ed. Ryan, who is a brakeman on one of the roads centering in Indianapolis. Mrs. Ryan came to her father's from her home in St. Louis, last Friday, and was to meet the victims here today, when the whole party would have gone on to her home in St. Louis. Both men were variety actors, and were unmarried. Mrs. Ryan does not know yet what disposition will be made with the bodies, until she hears from her husband, to whom she has telegraphed.Saturday, October 15, 1881
