On a related note:

I recall reading an account in the Ligonier Valley Echo from some date back in the 1920's of an accident on the Ligonier Valley Rail Road. It said something like "Injured in the accident were Dr. and Mrs. John Jones of this place, Mr. William Smith of Latrobe, Mr. Melvin Collins of Greensburg, and six Italians."
