Met Tragic Death

Ex-Governor Jones’ Daughter Terribly Mangled by Electric Car

Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 5 – Miss Caroline Jones, the daughter of former Governor 
Thomas G. Jones, was ground to death in a street accident this morning at 8:15 
o’clock.  Governor Jones was a helpless witness to the distressing accident.

Miss Caroline had left her father on the veranda of their home, corner of Hull 
and Adams streets, saying, “Wait, I am going to get you a flower,” and started 
across Hull street to a neighbor’s house.  In crossing the car track she was 
struck by a Cloverdale car and dragged under the wheels.  The motorman lost his 
head and forgot to turn off the current.

The body was dragged 100 yards and was fearfully mangled.

The young lady was 23 years of age and was an invalid, and had been under the 
constant watch of an attendant.
