Houston County Courier Accident occurring in Trinity, TX May 25, 1929
Mrs. Roy Gimon, 35 was killed instantly and her son Paul, 4 yrs probably fatally injured when an automobile in which they were in stalled on the Missouri Pacific crossing a half mile north of Trinity in front of a passenger train late Friday afternoon.
Mrs.W. T. Bruton and Pauline Gimon, twin sister of the boy escaped unjury when Mrs. Bruton threw the child from the car and jumped before the train struck.
The car, according to Charles Wilson, bookkeeper for the Rock Creek Mill, had stalled on the tracts and he had rushed out to assist the stranded car and was knocked from his feet by a flying fragment from the wrecked machine before he could reach the distressed woman.
The husband who is master mechanic at Rock Creek Mill was engaged in another part of the plant and did not see the wreck, but arrived on the scene in time to see the body of his dead wife dragged from the debris.
Besides the husband, Mrs. Gimon is survived by the son and two daughters. (the son was killed and there were three daughters, personal data from Roy C. Smith) Funeral arrangements had not been made late Friday.
Gussie had three daughters, not two. They were: Thelma, Evely, and Pauline. I know that Pauline married Billy Walker who was a neighbor in Trinity. That is the end of my information. Sorry it took so long for me to find this info -- I would appreciate any other into you have on the daughters.
I am also trying to find any information on Gussie's sister Acine or Asena. I believe her nickname was Annie. I have found a marriage record for Annie Kimbro and J. N. Caldwell in Houston County. There is also a gravesite for an infant Caldwell s/o Jim and Annie Caldwell b/d 1919 in the Antioch Cemetery in Lovelady. Do you have any info on this sister. email from Susan Lawrence thru the Trinity County quary board on Rootsweb.com
