A CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN KILLED – Zul Shelton Meets his Death Near Corona on the 
Georgia Pacific
ZUELLA SHELTON, a white construction foreman on the Western Division of the 
Georgia Pacific Railroad was killed at Corona, fifty-five miles west of this 
city yesterday.  He was standing on the lever care, which was on a side track, 
when a train came by and struck the car knocking SHELTON off and inflicting 
wounds from which he died three hours afterwards.  The car on the siding had 
not fully cleared the main track which was the cause of the accident.  SHELTON 
was struck on the head by a falling beam.
	SHELTON lived at Kennedy, a station only a few miles away, where his 
body was taken for burial.  He was a married man and had been in the employ of 
the road for several months. – [Birmingham News]
