i A most shocking accident in whicl
; one of the most popular young men o;
’ T. pelo, Howard Eaves, lost his lif
; occurred Saturday evening at the Mail
st’-eet crossing of th» Mobile & Ohii
- r? lroad. Just before the northboum
3 n .il train arrived Howard Eaves, win
3 r< ently accepted a position as nigh
* e rk at the Mobile and Ohio Freigh
d pot, was across the track oppositi
the Guthrie livery stable. Two freigh
tic ins were approaching, one on th<
si :e track going north, the other oi
i the main line going south. Young Eave:
c; ssed the track out of the way of th<
northbound train, but was unconscious
of the approach of the other train ant
stepped on the track in front of it. He
was struck by the engine and dragged
several feet when his body fell beneath
1 the huge wheels and his life was crush
ed out in an instant. There were sev
eral witnesses to the terrible accidenl
; wno immediately took the body from
j under the train.
i Howard Eaves would have reached
I hi - nineteenth year in a few weeks. He
j was the oldest son of L. L. Eaves and
| Emma Hill, his mother dying in his in
! fancy. He was taken by Mrs. Hayes
I of Amory with whom he lived until he
J was about eleyen years of age when
he came to Tupelo and entered school.
In all of his associations with his
teachers and young friends he was cour
teous, generous and kindhearted. He
won the hearts of all who knew him by
his quiet, unassuming manners, and
[ th -re was no one who knew him who
| failed to appreciate and admire him.
: To his father and foster mother and
every member of the family he was de
j voted and at all times manifested the
1 greatest love for them To his bereav
• eu iatner ana tnose wno stooa closest
! to him, the sympathy of the whole
community goes out
The funeral services were held from
the residence Sunday afternoon, Rev.
K mbrough conducting them. A large
crowd was present. The body was
taken to the Williams cemetery east of
to vn for inteoment. The following
yo.mg friends of the deceased acted as
pa'1-bearers:— Gail Rile'., Claude Mit
choner, Keyes Gardner, Fred Wood,
Clark Troy, Houston Lumpkin. Their
contributions of flowers were beautiful
in ieed. Many flowers were laid upon
the grave by friends.
