Morning Train Kills Lewis County Farmer on Wide West Virginia Line
John Jeffries, a 60 year old farmer from Lewis County, was struck and killed by a Baltimore and Ohio railroad excursion train near Burnaville on its West Virgil Wittsburg division. The accident occurred Thursday at about 140 miles from Weston, as Jeffries walked along the track and did not hear the approaching engine. The train could not stop in time, leaving his body mangled and dragged beneath the wheels. The engine crew recovered the body and it was taken to Weston for burial preparations, with interment planned at Roanoke. Jeffries, married with several children, was active in agriculture and well known as a Lewis County resident and neighbor to Burnaville connections.
