Georgia Couple Die When Train Hits Car
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 22. (AP) - A middle aged couple, enroute from St. George, Ga., to Jacksonville markets with a load of eggs, was killed instantly Wednesday as their automobile was struck by an Atlantic Coast Line train at Callahan, north of here.
The dead were: M. C. White and his wife, Anna.
Their automobile was demolished and eggs were strewn for several hundred yards along the track.
Both bodies were brought here to an undertaker who said Wednesday night he had been unable to locate relatives.
St. George is a small community just north of the Georgia-Florida line.
