Biographical Info

John T. O’Brien (circa 1833-December 7, 1868), a native of Carter County, Tennessee, was a conductor on the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville Railroad. In early December 1868, John T. O’Brien was riding on top of the northbound freight train when he “was knocked off by coming in contact with the bridge” near Erin, the Clarksville Chronicle reported. Several cars ran over him, killing him. “He was a courteous gentleman and a good conductor,” the newspaper recalled.
