Two Dead, Many Hurt in Crashes, Jan. 29, 1924

Two Dead, Many Hurt in Crashes

Richmond, Jan. 28—David Dunlap, 29, wealthy dairy farm owner of Ellerslie near Petersburg, and C.C. Talley, 22, of Petersburg, were killed, three other persons were critically injured, and several more sustained lesser hurts in automobile accidents over the week end on Richmond-Petersburg turnpike.

Phillip T. Bergheimer, 28, and Miss Mary L. Campbell, both of Richmond, injured when the car driven by Dunlap turned over early yesterday morning, were still unconscious this morning at a local hospital. Attending physicians held out little hope for their recovery.

James C. Lee, in the car with Tally when it was struck by a larger machine, sustained a fractured skull and other injuries. The other occupants escaped serious injury.

From the front page of The Wilson Times, Tuesday, January 29, 1924. Talley was also spelled Tally in the story.
