From newspaper clipping: "Mrs. M. J. Blevins, 40 years old, was almost instantly killed and her 6-year-old daughter Jewel was slightly hurt when an M.K.&T freight train struck a buggy in which they were riding at the railroad crossing at Keller Thursday. The vehicle was demolished and the woman and child were picked up from the wreckage of the buggy and carried to a nearby store by citizens who witnessed the accident. The mother lived but a few minutes and did not regain consciousness. The child who was badly stunned was restored to her senses after a physician was summoned.The accident is said to have been due to the fright of the horse which Mrs. Blevins was driving. The animal lunged forward in front of the approaching train while onlookers were powerless to rescue the imperiled couple. Mrs. Blevins was survived by eight children."
