The Accident—January 25, 1918
A dense fog covered the Gulf Coast in the early morning of January 25, 1918 when the passenger train of the Gulf Coast lines enroute to Corpus Christi from Houston and 30 minutes behind schedule stopped to take on passengers in Clarkwood. Upon starting up about 7:20 a.m., the train was struck from behind by a Tex-Mex passenger and freight train running at full speed. The conductor of the Gulf Coast train was killed instantly. Among the eight passengers injured were Father John Scheid, Chancellor of the Diocese of Corpus Christi, and Bishop Paul Nussbaum who sustained a broken right arm, crushed fingers, severe body gashes, and leg injuries. After weeks of recovery in Spohn Hospital and later at home, he tried to resume his duties. However, in 1920 during a regular report on the diocese to the Holy Father in Rome, he tendered his resignation. He stated that he found the traveling necessary in a diocese the size of Corpus Christi more than he could bear while still struggling to overcome the infirmity sustained by the accident.
