Burlington, March 22—Sam King, 72, of Hillsboro met an instant and tragic death near the Graham passenger station when struck by east-bound passenger train 16 at 3:15 Sunday afternoon when he was walking on the track to the station to board it en route home.
The aged man had been visiting a daughter at the King mill, in east Burlington, it is said, and left the home some time before train time to walk to Graham to board it.
