Notes for NORA NELLITA PRATHER: Article from the Memphis Press - Scimitar, Tuesday, June 10, 1930 Memphis Baby Plays on Rail, Hit by Train A three-year-old girl, happy and jubilant, who went with mama Monday "to visit grandma", at Ramer, TN, was killed Tuesday morning when struck by a Mobile and Ohio freight train. Nellita Prather, 3, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loyd P. Prather, 3334 Givens, died almost instantly at 8 a.m. Tuesday when the freight engine struck her while she was sitting on a cross tie. While a hysterical mother is being comforted at the home of "grandma", Mrs. W. A. Petree, an anxious father, who believes his daughter "has been injured", is on his way to Ramer from here. Prather was not told his daughter had been killed when called over long distance telephone from Ramer. No one saw the accident. According to the fireman and brakeman, there was not time to stop the train after the child was seen on the track. The mother was the first to reach the scene from the Petree home, a 100 yards away. She gathered the body into her arms and ran screaming to the house. P.H. Shea, connected with the A. B. Hamm Co., of Ramer, near the tracks where the tragedy occurred told the story. "The first thing I knew, I heard a woman screaming. I ran to the spot. The train had stopped. I went over and saw Mrs. Prather running with the child in her arms." No arrangements have been made for the funeral. The body will be returned to Memphis, TN |
