MRS. BR1TT, MOTHER OF
FORMER PASTOR, DEAD
Rev. Fred Collins end Family
In Fatal Wreck at Smithfield
Last Thursday
Mrs. Britt, mother of Rev. F. T.
Collins, former pastor of the Ahoskie
Baptist church, is dead as the result
of Injuries received in an automobile
wreck at Smithfield last Thursday
afternoon. She died at 8 o'clock
Monday morning, having never re
gained consciousness. Mrs. Collins
and her young child are both in the
Smithfield hospital, suffering from in
juries received at the same time.
Rev. Mr. Collins and the two-year
old son were not hurt except for a
few slight scratches.
When news of the accident reached
Ahoskie, within a few hours after the
wreck, there was genuine sorrow ex
pressed by the townspeople, espec
ially among those who are members
of the Baptist church where Mr.
Collins was pastor for three or four
years, having gone to Smithfield
about eighteen months ago. He was
married while in Ahoskie, and during
his pastorate here his first child was
born. His mother, Mrs. Britt, was
close to the hearts of those who knew
her.
Late report* from the hospital in
dicate that Mr*. Collins is gradually
improving, although she was uncon
scious for several days. The young
est child lost its right leg just below
the knee, and sustained a badly bruis
ed face. Mrs. Collins did not receive
any cuts or bruises and is suffering
from shock and internal injuries.
Mrs. Britt's death resulted from the
shock and pneumonia.
According to nejws dinpitchfifi the
accident occurred within the town
limits, of Smithfeeld. When Wr. Col
lins rounded * curve near the railroad
crossing, he saw ^ train approaching
on one ef the trucks. The A. C. L.
railroad being double tracked there.
He stopped his car on one track to
allow the shifting engine to pass. The
engineer thinking everything was
safe proceeded to the crossing with
his engine. Just as the engine was
upon the crossing, l(r. Collins' car
lurched forward into it, and the
crash came. Mr. Collins says his en
gine choked down while upon the
track.
Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Britt, and the
oldest child were thrown to the
ground clear of the tracks; the young
est child lay upon the cross ties with
the right foot across one truck; and
Mr. Collins was caught upon the cow
catcher and carried about fifty yards
before the engine stopped.
At the Baptist church here last
Saturday morning, special prayer*
were offered for Rev. Mr. Colli as and
his family, and a committee of Rev.
lien bower and W. L. Curtis appointed
to convey the sympathy of the church
to the stricken family. Several for
mer members ef his uhnrch have sent
message* of sympathy, and have oth
erwise exhibited interest in the wel
fare of the injured members of the
family.
Dr. C. G. Powell and Mr. J. A. Wil
liams left here last Saturday night
for SmRhfidd to visit Mr. Collins
and others of the family. They spent
Sunday with them, returning here
early Monday morning.

with salf support of the farm family.
