LATTA - A fatal accident occurred here today when Walter Berry, who was driving a Dillon County road tractor, was struck by a southbound Atlantic Coast Line freight train and died shortly thereafter. The young man's head was fearfully cut and his skull fractured. The tractor was totally demolished. Mr. Berry was dragging the roads and had come to Latta for gasoline. Although the railroad is straight so that a train can be seen for a mile or more, he seemed to be noticing only the track. He had ample time to get off the machine and save himself, but he seemed to be trying to save the tractor. Walter Berry was a quiet unassuming boy, who was held in high esteem by all who knew him. When the war began he volunteered, but was rejected. In the first draft he was called and shortly afterward was sent to France where he served faithfully for eleven months. While in France he had one leg broken which kept him in the hospital for some time. He had been at home only a few weeks. As soon as he returned he began to operate one of the county road tractors. He was nearly 30 years of age and leaves his father and several brothers and sisters. Published in The State, May 31, 1919
