Is there a listing of passengers, places the train originated and destinations? I think he was a young adult and may have been married to Callie Watson at the time. Maybe he met her on the train! Urile was born in McMinn County TN in 1865, married Callie and they raised four boys in Texas starting around 1887. Sometime before 1887 he left TN for TX. Both are buried in Texas. I am not sure where Callie was born or who either of their parents were.
