Miss Addie Haggard, aged 24, was run down and killed by the Northbound mail train at the North end of Fishing Creek trestle Wednesday, December 30. She had walked the trestle with Mrs. George Rigney, being told before they started that it would be 16 minutes before the train was due. They thought they could get across. No. 2 being ahead of time caught them before they got across. Mrs. Rigney got out on the side of track and saved her life by a close call. Miss Addie, thinking she could get to the end of trestle by running, started to run but was caught at the end of trestle by getting her foot fast. She was a good girl and loved by all who knew her. She was a member of the Pleasant Point church at which place she was laid to rest on New Year's day. Rev. J. A. Singleton preached funeral. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved ones.
