MRS. J. TAYLOR KILLED IN A FALL FROM BRIDGE AT CRAGFORD;  Her Husband Also 
Injured

Rev. John Taylor, a minister of the Christian church who lives about two miles 
from Cragford, met with a distressing accident at Cragford on Sunday while 
trying to cross the bridge with his car.  The machine had been giving some 
trouble and in undertaking to cross the bridge he lost control of it, the 
automobile falling off the abuttment, as we understand it.  The minister's 
wife was so badly injured that she died that night. Mr. Taylor suffered a 
broken jaw.  Their only child was in the car but escaped without injury.

This Sabbath tragedy cast a gloom over the entire section as the Taylor family 
had many friends, being held in high esteem by all.  The bridge at Cragford, 
where the accident occurred, is unusually high, as the banks of the creek are 
steep at this point.
