| Simeon Taylor Webb,
born McComb, was the fireman on Casey Jones's fatal run. Casey shouted,
"Jump, Sim, Jump!" seconds before the Illinois Central's Cannonball
Express plowed into the rear of a freight train near Vaughn, Mississippi, on the
night of April 30, 1900. Sim received a settlement of $5.00 from the ICRR for
body bruises caused from jumping off Engine 382. |
