"Jason Adams Killed By Train At Mayking"

The word came this evening before press time that Jason Adams, 74, a son of the late Simpson and Sallie Webb Adams had in the last half hour been run over and killed by a train. Going to the place of the accident we found the body horribly cut and mangled. Death resulted suddenly. The deceased was walking down the way about 350 yards below the railway crossing and near the track when an L&N engine tender and caboose came through the cut. As the train approached him instead of moving further away from the track the engineer says he turned suddenly and walked on to the track. He was run over and left in the middle of the track. One or both legs were crushed, one hand completely cut off and besides mangled in many other indescribable ways.

The deceased leaves two brothers, Bill and Eld. Simpson Adams, besides a great number of nephews and nieces. Owing to the fact that he was a member of the old Adams and Webb families his relatives are numberless being scattered all over Letcher and other counties.

He was never married. He was strictly religious, but never connected himself with any church that we recall. The Burke Funeral Home brought the body to the Home here where preparations were made for interment. Funeral services, it is presumed will be conducted at the Mayking cemetery tomorrow where burial will take place. We grieve with the great host of relatives and friends and extend sympathies. <<<<
