J.C. Scholle Dies When Car, Train Collide, Nov. 8, 1924

Meets Death as Engine Hits Car

Charlotte, Nov. 7—J.C. Scholle, a painter at the Ford assembling plant in the northern part of the city, was killed at the Statesville avenue crossing of the Southern railway last night about 9 o’clock when a switch engine struck the touring car in which Mr. Scholle was riding. The locomotive was running backward, and the tender wrecked the car and badly mangled the body of Mr. Scholle. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Scholle was the only occupant of the car.
