Carrie Hornaday Killed in Collision, September 1920

Gastonia--With her jugular vein severed on the broken glass of the windshield of the automobile in which she was riding, Miss Carrie Hornaday of Burlington died here a few minutes after a car driven by J.B. Robertson of Concord, with whom she was riding, and one driven by Ed Coffey of Gastonia, were in a collision. A dead car standing in the middle of the road was the cause of the accident, preventing the drivers of the two approaching cars from seaching each other.
