The Richmond Virginian, July 9, 1916
THE RICHMOND VIRGINIAN RICHMOND, VA., SUNDAY, JULY 9, 1916. VOL. VII.— No. 162.
Automobile struck by train; three are instantly killed
Dr. O. C. Wright and Sons of two Jarratt Merchants Victims of A.C.L. Freight
VICTIM'S BODIES ARE THROWN SIXTY FEET
Bodies Taken Back Home on Train Leaving Richmond at 4 o'Clock — Dr. Wright High in Medical Circles
(Special to the Richmond Virginian.)
Jarratt, Va., July 8— Dr. O. C. Wright, the most widely known and prominent physician of this section, and two children, Clifford Brown, 10 years of age, and John Partridge, 9 years of age, were instantly killed this afternoon about ?:30 o'clock, when a northbound Atlantic Coast Line freight train struck his automobile while crossing the track at Owens' store between Jarratt and Stony Creek. The boys were the sons of C. M. Brown and Hunter Partridge, merchants here.
The train hit the machine, a terrific blow, throwing Dr. Wright and the two boys a distance of more than sixty feet. The car itself was not damaged as much as would be expected, considering the force of the impact. Shortly after the accident, the Atlantic Coast Line train leaving Richmond at 4 o'clock brought the bodies to Jarratt, and they were taken to the home of Dr. Wright.
Dr. Wright, who was forty-five years old, had been a long resident of Jarratt, and he enjoyed the highest reputation. He was regarded as a man of lofty ideals and of excellent character, his position in the community being the highest.
Was prominent in state.
A native of Pittsylvania County, Dr. Wright received his medical education in Baltimore, coming to Jarratt twenty-three years ago. With his residence his reputation grew, and he soon became the leading physician of this county. He was a man of great ability, and has served as a member of numerous medical societies of the State. Until his tragic death he was a member of the board of medical examiners, the State Board of Health and an ex-president of the Virginia State Medical Society.
Dr. Wright married Miss Emma Brown, a daughter of a Baptist minister, who with one daughter, Miss Lucy Wright, survives him. He also has three brothers, Dr. F. J. Wright, of Petersburg, Dr. Christian Wright, of Fruitland, Idaho, and Joseph Wright, of red Falls, Mont.: Three Sisters, Mrs. P. A. Mahen, of Danville; Mrs. W. G. Hundley, of Callends, and Miss Susie Wright of Sandy Hill, and his father, Dryden Wright, of Pittsylvania County. Dr. Wright was affiliated with the Centenary Methodist Church of Jarratt.
The accident occurred at Owens' store, between Jarratt and Stony Creek. Just at the railroad crossing, and very near the tracks, the store is located. It is said that Dr. Wright was driving at a fair rate of speed, and as he came to the railroad his attention was distracted by two approaching machines.
Being behind the store, he had not seen the oncoming freight and was not aware of it until he was at the crossing. He immediately made an effort to turn his machine out to ditch it, but before he could accomplish this the train had struck the automobile, hurling the occupants of the car sixty feet, killing them instantly.
The engineer of the locomotive said that as soon as he saw the automobile he at once applied the brakes, but it was then too late. On account the store right at the tracks, the engineer said he did not get a view of the machine until it was at the crossing. Although, he said, he did everything he could, he found it impossible to prevent striking the automobile.
The southbound train from Richmond arrived on the scene shortly after the accident, and the three bodies were taken to the home of Dr. Wright.
The boys, sons of merchants here, had been taken up by Dr. Wright for the ride with him, and their bodies were turned over to their parents. An inquest the accident will be held by the corner, it is thought, on Monday. No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral.
It was stated the train that struck Dr. Wright was a special freight, and its speed was not over the regular rate, about thirty miles an hour.
