Lineville Headlight
Ellis Denson as he was familiarly known, was killed in Anniston by Southern 
switch engine Friday night. He lived a few hours after being hit. He was 
delivering meat in a closed truck and fail to see the approaching train. His 
head was crushed, and one arm mangled. The companion riding with him escaped 
unhurt. He had moved from Clay County to Anniston about three weeks ago and was 
brought back to his old home community for burial Sunday. More than a thousand 
friends and relatives gathered at Christiana to pay their last tribute of 
respect to their former neighbor and brother The Woodmen took part in the 
ceremony. Rev. 0. Parker and Rev. B. W. Mathews conducted funeral services. A 
number of his friends from Anniston were present namely, D. K. Miller, M. C. 
Kiker, Sonny Burnes, Forney Thrasher. He leaves a wife and four children, a 
father, four brothers and three sisters to mourn his lost. Ellis was loved by 
all who knew him. He was good natured and honest in all things. He will be 
greatly missed by a host of friends and relatives.
