School Teacher Run Over by Mr. Jack Williams, Feb. 27, 1920

From the Roanoke Rapids Herald, Feb. 27, 1920

Miss Lizzie Dalton Run Over by Auto

Miss Lizzie Dalton, a member of the school faculty, was very painfully injured last Saturday at noon in an auto accident at the intersection of Roanoke Avenue and Second Street.

Miss Dalton, while attempting to cross the street, was knocked down and run over by the car of Mr. Jack Williams, superintendent of the Roanoke Fibre Board Company. The accident seems hard to explain. Eye witnesses state that Mr. Williams was not running fast when the accident occurred.

The small bone of one of Miss Dalton’s ankles was broken and bruised. She was taken immediately to the Roanoke Rapids Hospital where her injuries received the proper attention we understand that Miss Dalton is getting along as nicely as could be expected.
