      In August, 1926, Joseph Ault's son, Atwood, eleven years of age died from injuries suffered when he crawled under a freight train near the Budlong Pickle Company at the corner of Jay and First Streets in Rochester, IN. (See "Notes" on the individual data sheet of Attwood Ault.)

      The Rochester News-Sentinel published the following item on August 23, 1928 relating Joseph Ault's decision to file suit against the Budlong Pickle Company of Chicago. (Fulton County Handbook "B"; Fulton Co. Library Web Site.)

      FATHER SEEKS DAMAGES FOR DEATH OF HIS SON

      Joseph AULT, late Wednesday afternoon filed a suit in the Fulton circuit court seeking
      $20,000 damages from the Budlong Pickle Company of Chicago, Ill', because of the death of his son, Atwood AULT, aged I l, on August 23,1926. The Budlong Pickle Company operates a pickling and salting station in this city ai the corner of Jay and First Streets. Francis SPOHN is the local manager of the concern.

      It will be remembered that Atwood Ault died in Woodlawn Hospital on August 23,1926
      from shock and loss of blood eight hours after he had had both of his limbs severed close to his body when he crawled under an Erie freight train near the Budlong Company plant. After the lad had started to cross under one of the cars of the train which was standing on the track while the locomotive was taking on water, the train started, catching the lad just as he was passing over the rails.

      The plaintiff sets forth that his son was employed and had been employed by the Budlong Company for 10 days prior to the fatal accident, both in the pickling station and in pulling onions in a field owned or leased by the company situated west of the plant which field faces the Erie right of way.

      On the day of the accident Mr. Ault says his son with several other lads had completed their days labor at 5 p.m. and were on their way back to the plant in the charge of man by the name of McFADDEN an employee of the Budlong Company. Mr. Ault alleges that McFadden did not exercise proper care in watching his son and permitted him to crawl under the train which act caused his death.

      Mr. Ault says because of the negligence of McFadden, who was an adult and an agent of the Budlong Company his son met his death which death could have been prevented had he used the proper precaution and authority. It will be noted that the suit was filed in the local court just one day before the statute of limitations covering the case would have expired. It is understood that the Budlong Company will resist the suit.
