Delia R. Powers, 32, housewife, saved Joseph Kennedy, 3, from being run over by a train, Rochdale, Massachusetts, December 9, 1909. Standing between the westbound and eastbound tracks a few feet from the child, who had fallen just outside the inner rail of the westbound track, on which a passenger train was rapidly approaching, Mrs. Powers crouched down and rolled Joseph toward her, getting him three feet from the rail, as the engine rushed by. A passenger train stood on the eastbound track, and the clearance between the cars of the two trains was only about three feet. Neither was injured. 4637-548
