Jim Kelly Killed in Paving Accident in Sanford, Sept. 24, 1922

Negro Employed at Sanford Killed by a Concrete Mixer

Sanford, Sept. 23—Jim Kelly, a negro in the employ of the Atlantic Bitulitis company which is paving the streets of this city, was killed Friday afternoon in front of the First Presbyterian church. He was going before the big concrete mixer laying plank upon which it was running when suddenly the support holding up the big scoop gave way and the scoop came down with a tremendous impact upon the negro’s head, killing him almost instantly.
