Email from Dr. John R. Davidson, received 15 Oct 2013. In answer to you query concerning AJ Davidson's demise: He was traveling by train from Peru, IN to New Orleans and looking for a nice place to re-settle. He exited the train at St. Louis area, had a couple of drinks and when he re-boarded the train it had begun to move. He lost his footing and slipped off the step and his foot slipped under the train wheel which ran over and crushed his foot. Since he was a veteran of the civil war he was taken to Jefferson Barracks, MO. He died ten days later due to infection and subsequent complications of his foot injury (gangrene).

The ten days was suficient time for his wife (Emma) and his mother (Julia O'Brian Davidson) to travel to Jefferson Barracks and be at his side for several days prior to his passing.
