Woman is Killed When Hit by Car
Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 17 -- Mrs. Harriett Collins, 69, one of the outstanding business women in Fort Worth and a resident of this city for more than forty years, was fatally injured Saturday morning when she was struck by a street car on Houston street near the West Second street itnersection. Muddy, slippery rails, which made it impossible for the motorman to bring his car to a halt, were blamed for the accident.
Mrs. Collins, who was owner of an art shop at 109 West Second street, had just come out of a grocery store on Houston street and was walking across the street some distance from the corner toward her place of business. An umbrella and several parcels which she carried prevented her from seeing the approaching car, it is believed. She had almost crossed the track when she was hit, her head striking the pavement. She died almost instantly from a fractured skull.
She is survived by a son, Henry Collins of Fort Worth; a daughter, Mrs. Jean Terry of Berea, Ohio; sisters, Mrs. John Baker of Evansville, Ohio; Miss Elizabeth Cleland of Howard, Kan.; Mrs. Emma Fisher of Janesville, Wis.; Mrs. DeForest Moody of Minneapolis, Minn., and Mrs. Jennie Oliver of Howard.
