Biography

王铁珊,安徽英山人。
清史稿卷四百六十八 列传二百五十五:
  王铁珊,字伯唐,安徽英山人。光绪十五年进士,铨兵部主事。居久之,母年老,欲归省。会拳乱作,知都城必危,遂不去。悉举赀斧寄母,独留百金,复分其半助邑馆贫不能归者。其人谓:“盍不偕南?”曰:“时势至此,不能出力抗敌,已负朝廷;若更引身远避,何以为人?且在京为大清官,在籍践大清土,国苟不保,家将焉属?”其人知其隐蓄死志,强之行,不可。两宫既西狩,遂伏案作书寄弟,略云:“身非武职,恨不能执干戈卫社稷;官非台谏,又不获效忠言维国是。如都城不保,义不偷生。所恨居官以来,未能事母,长负此不孝之罪耳。”书毕,肃衣冠拜,默坐室中。闻内城陷,自缢死。遗书友人治后事,谓:“某非死节,不忍见国事败坏耳。”事闻,赠员外郎,又追赠道员。荫一子入监读书,以知县用。
