Mr Charles McLaughlin Charles McLaughlin
was a well loved character on the railway and was much missed when he died at
Station House on 12/9/1928 after a period of serious illness. He was aged 59½
years and had completed 38 years service with the company. Such was his popularity that
short articles appeared in the local newspapers marking his passing. The
Belfast Telegraph included the
following tribute: “His familiar, genial figure
will be missed for many a day by the users of the line. He was a smart, and
courteous official, possessed of a genial disposition which made him very
popular with the public”. The Belfast News Letter had
the following to say: “Mr McLaughlin was
well-known to hundreds of travellers on the Belfast and County Down Railway.
An ideal official, courteous and obliging, and ever zealous in the
performance of his duties, he was respected by all who came into contact with
him.” In October 1928 the Senior
Porter William Thompson requested consideration for the position of
Stationmaster. He appears to have been unsuccessful as by 1930 James Taylor
was in the position having moved from Tullymurry were he was Stationmaster. |
