Sources conflict on cause of death. According to Betty Hartely, Washington Bracey was a train conductor who was killed in a train wreck on the OR&W Railroad (Ohio River & Western). However, his death certificate states that he died of pneumonia. The death certificate also states that Washington Bracey was a railroad conductor.
