PARENTS SEE BODIES OF 4 TAKEN FROM WRECK
The Time (Louisville Times) Special Service
Bardstown, KY. Nov. 28.-D.Y. Price, a section foreman: his wife and three 
children arrived at the Louisville & Nashville Railroad crossing in 
Nelsonville just in time to see train-men remove the bodies of their four 
other children whose automobile had been struck by the Southland, a fast 
passenger train en route to Jacksonville. Those killed were Mrs. Mildred 
Vittitow, 26 years old; Lucien Price; Coleman Price, 15, and Earl Price, 12. 
The family was on its way to eat Thanksgiving dinner with friends and the 
four children had been told by their father to drive on ahead. The view of 
the tracks at Nelsonville, nine miles south of Lebanon Junction, is 
unobstructed and onlookers were at a loss to account for the failure of the 
occupants of the car to see the train, unless it was due to glass frosted 
from the cold. The automobile drove squarely in front of the locomotive and 
was pitched fifty feet. Death was instantaneous for all. The train was in 
charge of Fred Whitehead, 2903 South Third Street, Louisville, engineer, and 
J.W. Strange, 1215 East Broadway. conductor.
