Tot Killed By Engine

Wandering away from his home at Glatfelter’s Station Monday morning to join his father, who was 
working in a nearby field, Raymond, a 2-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bupp, was struck by 
the locomotive of a N. C. express train.  The child was instantly killed, its left leg being 
broken and skull crushed.

The mother of the little boy witnessed the dreadful accident from a window in her home, where 
she was seated, but was so paralyzed by dread that she could not move while the child was 
approaching the tracks on which the express train was rushing onward.  The body of the little 
boy was thrown fully one hundred feet and landed on the north bound tracks.

Coroner Dehoff was notified and proceeded to the scene of the accident, but deemed the holding 
of an inquest unnecessary.
