MRS. ANNA HEREFORD KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE:
Struck On Court Street, Saturday Night, By Machine Of Mrs. Betty Kist-Ruled Unavoidable:
Victim Had Just Started Crossing Throughfare After Evening Walk:


Mrs. Anna B. Hereford, 81 years old, was fatally injured at 6:00o'clock, Saturday evening, when she was struck by a car driven by Mrs. Betty Kist of Fulton. The accident occurred on Court Street and was declared to be unavoidable.

Mrs. Hereford was quite active for her age and each evening enjoyed a walk along Court Street. She was crossing Court Street with the expectation of returning to her home, when she was struck.

It was said that Mrs. Hereford started across the street from west to east, just north of the Dr. H.U. Wenger home. She was dressed in black, witnesses said, which may have prevented the driver seeing her. It was said that that when Mrs. Kist did see her hurrying eastward she swerved her car to the right. Mrs. Hereford stopped and was caught by the left end of the car bumper and thrown to the pavement.

Mrs. Cora Hyten was near the scene of the accident, having just met Mrs. Hereford on the west side of the street. Tom L. Edson, of the police department, was driving down Court Street and was about a hundred yards to the rear of the Kist car when the accident occurred.

Mrs. Hereford was rushed to the Callaway Hospital, but those who were at the scene believe that Mrs. Hereford was dead before she was placed in the ambulance.

Mrs. Kist was grief stricken as a result of the accident and collapsed at the scene of the mishap. She was taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. W.B. Branstetter, on Vine Street, where she received medical attention. Monday morning she was reported as feeling better. She has received many expressions of sympathy from friends and the assurance of members of the Hereford family that they
believe the accident was unavoidable.

FUNERAL HELD MONDAY

A funeral service was conducted at 10:00 o'clock Monday morning at the home of Mrs. Herefords son, William C. Hereford, of Tenth Street, the Reverend Dr. E.F. Abbott, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, officiating. The body was taken to Glasgow by Herndon-Taylor-Blattner, and after a short service at the grave by Dr. Abbott, burial was in the cemetery beside the body of her late husband.

Mrs. Hereford was a native of the Glasgow community. She was a daughter of William and Sarah Diggs Matthews and was born December 8, 1851. She was married to Frank M. Hereford of Keytesville and about forty years ago the couple moved to Fulton, where Mr. Hereford was in the grocery business in the building now occupied by the Payne Shoe Company and later was associated with Roger Roberts and Edwin Tucker in business. Mr. Hereford died twenty-two years ago.

Although Mrs. Hereford was deaf, she attended services at the Presbyterian Church in Fulton, regularly and was a faithful and devout Christian. She became a member of the church early in life.

Two children survive. They are: William C. Hereford, a Fulton grocer, a former city collector and city councilman and Miss Sadie Hereford, who also has been connected with the collectors office and who resided with her mother on Court Street.

One daughter preceded her mother in death.

Mrs. Hereford had no brothers and sisters, being the only child of the family.

Sincere sympathy is extended the members of the family in their bereavement by the many friends in Fulton.
