Aviator Terrell Died Heroically Saving Crowd at Fair
The Pageland Journal defends that Frank J. Terrell steered his craft away from spectators, not causing his death by fault of the track. Eyewitness accounts and local observers describe the crowd around the machine, Terrell’s intent to avoid harm, and the fatal wing collapse as he aimed to ground safely. The piece portrays Terrell as a humane, brave flyer who sacrificed himself to protect others. Also noted: Dr. J. L. White leaves Macon to lead the Atlanta Baptist Tabernacle, with background on prior pastorates and ties to North Carolina and Tennessee.
