Personal Notes:
Edmund Crisp's siblings and parents had emigrated to Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada in 1871.


This is a copy of an article published in the Parry Sound North Star, 2 Nov 1899:
Word has been received of the accidental death of Edmund Crisp, oldest brother of Jonathan Crisp of Fairholme, and Mrs. John Moffatt (Jane) of Parry Sound, Ontario, at Queensland, the later part of September. The deceased gentleman went to Australia in1873. He was a shoemaker by trade, but for the past 18 years has been in the employ of the Northern Railway as sectionman. Mrs Crisp Sr. is a resident of this town. The following is a report of the accident from an Australian newspaper. "A sensational accident which terminated fatally happened on theNorthern Railway yesterday. A lengthsman named Edmund Crisp, aged 58 years, was examining the road on a tricycle at the 29[3]-mile during the morning. He was crossing a bridge about 20' high, which spans Dead Man's Creek on the Townsville side of Phillip's Siding, when was a down goods train travelling at a fair speed suddenly rounded a curve and swept into the tricycle before the rider could dismount. The light machine was of course smashed into matchwood, but Crisp surviving the fearful impact, clung on to the buffer and the cowcatcher until the engine was brought to a standstill. When succour arrived it was found that he had suffered terrible injuries. Both legs were broken, one being fractured in two places below the knee. One arm was also fractured, the ribs and chest fearfully shattered and the body lacerated in many places. Crisp's mate, who was working about a half a mile off, was alarmed by the whistling of the engine and made all haste to his assistance. What little assistance was possible was rendered, and the unfortunate sufferer, who never for a moment lost consciousness, was taken to town by the train. Dr. Humphrey, who was summoned, had the patient dispatched to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries at nine o'clock last night. It seems that Crisp had worked that particular length for 14 or 15 years, and had been in the railway service for nearly 18 years. The surroundings were such that it was not possible for the engineer or the cyclist to see each other until they were quite close together;in fact Crisp stated that he did not see the train until it was right on top of him. The man's courage and vitality were wonderful. Not only did he cling to the buffer whilst he was carried a long distance but he retained consciousness and hope up to the minute of his death. The deceased leaves a wife and grown up family, one of his daughters is married to Mr. E.J.McGovern, of Townsville. He was respected in the department and highly popular with his fellow employees. The funeral will leave Mr. McGovern's residence, Walker St., at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
