I found the following information in the December 21-28, 1892 York Republican (York, NE) newspaper regarding Philander A. Collingham.

1. died December 15, 1892 at York, NE (suicide)
2. age 29
3. only survivors mentioned were his mother, who came from Fleming, Colorado after he died, and a brother living 4 miles west of York (no names given for either)
4. Body was put on a train and taken "west" (location not given, but assume Fleming COO where mother was living)

The following week the newspaper reported that the train was going faster than usual to make up time, and that somehow the coffin and body had fallen off the train. It was believed to have falled off somehwhere near Curtis, NE, but it had not been located as of Dec. 28, 1892.

Does anyone know where he is buried? Or can you confirm who is parents/siblings are?
