INJURIES FATAL TO AGED LOCAL WOMAN
MRS. S.J. KELLEY, EIGHTY-TWO, STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE LATE TUESDAY

	Struck by an automoble near the plant of the Georgia Veneer & Package 
Company late Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. S.J. Kelley, 82, died at the City 
Hospital several hours after.
	Three or four eye witnesses to the accident told officers that Ronald 
Knight, driver of the automobile which hit the aged woman, was not responsible 
for the accident.
	Mrs. Kelley resided with her daughter, Mrs. J.W. Johnson, who resides 
several blocks from the Coastal Highway just north of the veneer plant.  Late 
Tuesday afternoon she went to the mail box along the highway.  She had crossed 
the road, secured the mail and was returning when the accident occurred.  
According to witnesses, Knight observed Mrs. Kelley crossing the highway and 
he sounded his horn and brought his car to a stop.  Mrs. Kelley also stopped.  
Knight waited a few seconds and then started his car, and as he did Mrs. 
Kelley started across the highway.  He again stopped the car and the woman 
stepped back to the edge of the highway.  Witnesses said that again Knight 
started the machine, and as it reached Mrs. Kelley she is alleged to have 
walked directly into it.  The car was traveling at a slow rate of speed.
	The aged woman was knocked to the pavement and sustained fatal 
injuries in the fall.  She was picked up and carried to the hospital, where 
she was treated, but it was realized she had been fatally injured.
	Mrs. Kelley originally was from Appling county.  She removed to 
Brunswick in 1917 and has since resided with her daughter here.  She is 
survived by five children, S.F. Teston, Sanford, Fla.; George Teston, 
Jacksonville; J.B. Kelley, Loughman, Fla.; Pat Kelley, Alma [Georgia], and 
Mrs. Johnson.
	Funeral services were held today, the arrangements being in charge of 
Baldwin & Edge.
