Street Car Kills Atlanta Teacher

Miss Kate Wood, 78, of 286 Rawson street, private instructress in French and 
German, was killed almost instantly Saturday when struck by an inbound Cooper 
Street – Pine Street streetcar on Cooper Street, between Woodward Avenue and 
Rawson Street.  The car, No. 246, was driven by Motorman J.F. Clayton, an old 
employee of the Georgia Railway & Power Company and was in charge of Conductor 
W.F. Dukes.  Motorman Clayton was released under a $2,000 bond on a charge of 
reckless driving.

The car was proceeding down Cooper Street, which is very steep and narrow, 
when Miss Wood stepped into the path of the car, according to witnesses.  
Motorman Clayton tried in vain to stop the car, it is said.

Miss Wood is survived by a nephew, Carl W. Fort, and five nieces: Mrs. T.B. 
Norris, Mrs. F.J. Whiteside, Miss Mary Fort, Miss Katie Fort and Miss Estelle 
Fort, all of Atlanta.  

Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3 o’clock from the chapel of 
H.M. Patterson & Sons, funeral directors, and Dean Thomas H. Johnston, of the 
St. Philip’s Cathedral, will officiate.  Interment will be in West View 
Cemetery.
