ARLINTON JOURNAL THURSDAY JANUARY 24, 1907
A DEPLORABLE TRAGEDY
A deplorable tragedy occurred here at 10 o'clock Sunday morning in which G. A. Autrey and L. A. Wingo lost their lives.
Mr. Autrey was an industrious and highly respectable blacksmith of this city. Mr. Wingo was a brother to Autrey's wife and had come in from Denton County Saturday night on a visit to the family. Sunday the two men were out walking over the city, and when near the oil mill were struck by an eastbound engine and tender, and both instantly killed, Autrey being horribly mangled.
He leaves a wife, married daughter, two married sons and a single son. Mr. Wingo leaves a wife and two sons both grown.
It seems that as they walked east down grade on the main track, and were watching a heavy westbound freight in front of them on the side track, trying to make the up-grade, the engine bore down on them from behind running on the down-grade almost without noise, and caught them with results as above stated.
The mangled bodies were taken to the undertaking establishment of the Rogers-McKnight Co. and prepared for burial.
The town stood aghast as the news spread from house to house, while the wife was almost demented over her double bereavement. The W.O.W. took charge of the funeral arrangement, and friends generally did all in their power to relieve the situation. The body of Mr. Wingo was shipped to Argyle for burial. The remains of Mr. Autrey were interred here at 11 o'clock Monday morning under the auspices of the W.O.W. of which he was a member. The religious exercises were conducted by Rev. H. E. Luck pastor of the Christian church. A very large concourse of people attended the burial.
The Journal joins in the general sorrow over the death of our citizen and guest.
Dr. A. J. Mullinax of Ft. Worth, nephew of Mr. Autrey who was run over and killed by the cars here Sunday morning, was here Sunday.
