    This section was shocked when the news came of the tragic death of Mrs. E. Pierce Wood of Sandersville when she died instantly at Parson's Crossing when her auto was hit by Central train No. 2, Macon to Savannah. The car was a complete and total wreck and Mrs. Wood was so badly mangled, that it took the cards in her purse to identify her. She was alone at the time, her car held up at a small bridge just before mounting the crossing and was seen to stop before the train arrived. It was presumed that she endeavored to stop her auto and her feet slipped onto the accelerator, starting it off and the car ran on to the track just as the train came up. Bits of machine were over 100 feet from where the train struck it. It was in threads almost. Mrs. Wood was a sister to Col. A. S. Bradley of Swainsboro. She was 41 and prominent in clubs around Sandersville. Her husband is a reporter for the U. S. Court of Middle Georgia District.
