- ANDREW JACKSON SMITH DEAD -
His Wife Was a Fredericksburg Woman.
HE LETS A TRAIN KILL HIM.
In the presence of scores of travelers at Union Station, Charlottesville, Tuesday, Andrew J. Smith, 65 years old, of Beaiton, committed suicide by stepping in front of a "double-header" train on the C. & O. R.R. He was decapitated and his body mangled.
Mr.Smith, who was a traveling salesman of a Baltimore firm, seemed to have planned his death. As the train approached the station, he stepped upon the tracks and crouched low upon the ties. When the pilot of the engine was within a few feet of him, he ducked his head and the train passed over his body.
Mr. Smith was well-known throughout Virginia, having traveled through this section for nearly thirty-five years. His wife was Miss Margaret L. Kelly, of Fredericksburg, daughter of the late Monroe Kelly, of Falmouth. Her sisters are Mrs. Nellie Carmichael, and Miss Lizzie Kelly of this city, and brother, Mr. Lane Kelly, of Norfolk.
The body will be taken to Bealton for interment. The Daily Star - Feb. 15, 1911.
