Former Resident Struck by Auto, Is Fatally Hurt
Mrs. Sarah Anderson Dies Soon After Accident -- Driver Exonerated.
Mrs. Sarah Anderson, 71, former resident of Zanesville, was fatally injured when struck by an automobile driven by Russell Beard, 17, at the intersection of Main and Fifth streets in McConnelsville, Saturday evening. Death ensued in a half hour after the accident from shock and probably internal injuries. An investigation was made by officials of McConneslville, and the driver was exonerated from blame on the fact that the woman stepped from behind another automobile directly in front of Beard's car. In the Beard car were his mother, Mrs. Charles Beard and her sister. The Beards live near McConnelsville. A native of Morgan county, Mrs. Anderson spent most of her life in the Neelyville vicinity. She lived one year, in 1913, in this city, and had many friends here, gained through frequent visits with local relatives. She was a member of the Ebenezer M. E. church at Neelyville.
