    Per Larry Herrin:

    "Chester Bray Killed By Train"

    "Chester Bray, about 35, an employ of the Dyer Lumber Company, Trenton, Georgia, was fatally injured Thursday morning, June 21, at 8 o'clock, when a fast A.G.S. railway freight train struck his automobile at the street crossing near the Church of God, two blocks east of the courthouse.
    Bray was enroute to the Dyer Lumber Company planing mill where he was employed, and when he reached the railway crossing he evidently did not see or hear the fast approaching south bound freight train, for he drove his car upon the track immediately in front of the engine, and had no time to stop or escape before he was struck. The auto which Bray was driving was literally torn to scraps, the engine being hurled across the street some forty or 50 feet a way.
    Bray suffered a severe injury of the head, both legs appeared to be broken, and he evidently suffered from internal injuries as well.
    An ambulance from Chattanooga was called and made a record run to Trenton, and rushed the injured man to Newell's Sanitarium, where he died an hour after his arrival.
    Bray came to Trenton from Valley Head, Ala., some months ago, and secured a position with the Dyer Lumber Company as fireman, and has been regularly employed since his arrival here.
    He is survived bY his wife and other relatives who reside in Valley Head, -Dade County Times"
