Oct. 6, 1921 – Woman Killed By Streetcar

Mrs. Emma Louise Dodd, age 65, resident of Bethany, was killed by a Wheeling Traction company street car.  She was crossing Main Street at the corner of Mahan avenue, Follansbee, at about 11 a.m.  She was visiting her son, Cecil Dodd. She started to cross the street in back of the north-bound car and stepped directly in front of the Wheeling bound car.  Motorman Duval applied the emergency brakes but the front tracks passed over the woman.
