Plymouth Mail , January 7, 1910 William Mott may have been the area's worst wagon driver having been hit by an interurban twice within 6 months while crossing the tracks. In the second incident at Cady's Corners, which killed his horses, he claimed not to hear the approaching train. Which is not uncommon in Eloise lore where many victims voiced the same notion that a train, both freight and interurban, was upon them before they realized as much. Hence, the gates at rail crossings.
