An account of Frank's accident can be found in an article from the Wellsville Daily Reporter, dated December 24, 1881:
   Caught in A Frog and Run Over by the Cars
   A Narrow Gauge Employee Seriously, Probably Fatally, Injured
     Frank Galutia, a brakeman for conductor K. Lacy's train is the first victim on the narrow gauge since its completion to this village.  The train leaves Wellsville for Bolivar at 1:45 p.m. and Galutia was assisting to make it up just before 1 o'clock when the accident occurred.  The locomotive handled by C. G. Lacy, was backing a box car to make coupling with a gondola on the switch.  It was moving very slowly and Galutia had hold of the forward end of the car, backing with it.  As it passed onto the switch, his left foot caught in the frog, throwing him down across the rail.  In an instant, although the engine was immediately stopped, the wheel was over his left leg crushing it terrible from the knee to the hip.  The obstruction threw the car from the track and it stopped with him still fastened beneath its cruel weight.  While in this position, he called for the engineer to back up farther so as to release him.
     Other train hands had got to the scene by this time and it was necessary for the car to be run ahead, again passing over his left leg, before he could be removed.  It was a sickening sight which presented itself to his fellows as after much effort his foot was pulled from its fastening, he was carried with bleeding and mangled limbs to the Clinton House.
     Dr. Nye was called and after examination gave his opinion that the accident would probably be fatal as the man would not be able to survive the amputation necessary.  In addition to the left leg being utterly crushed, the right was severely cut.  The unfortunate man retained consciousness entirely, until the surgeon relieved him partially from the great pain during the examination with an anesthetic.
     Galutia is a man of about thirty years of age, and has a wife and two children residing in Eldred.  He had been making efforts to secure a house to bring them here and was about to make the move.  His wife was immediately notified by telegraph of the accident, and to come on as quick as possible.  He was a steady reliable workman, spoken of in the best of terms by his associates and fellowman.

After Frank died, Alice married William Mott Stebbins and had four more children.
