Members Talpa Family Killed Train Hits Auto

Accident Happened Sunday [14 September 1930], Near Georgetown [Williamson Co, TEXAS].
Funeral Held Tuesday [16 September 1930]

Four members of a Talpa family living in Runnels county were killed and a fifth member fatally injured late Sunday when a southbound Missouri - Kansas - Texas passenger train struck a light sedan in which they were riding near Georgetown.

The dead are J. B. Cousins, 34; Mrs. Cousins [Margaret "Lizzie" PENDLETON COUSINS], 32; Archie Cousins, 6, and Harold Cousins, 2. J. B. Cousins, Jr. is believed fatally injured, was taken to a hospital at Georgetown for treatment.

Funeral services for the dead were conducted and interment made at Atoka Tuesday [16 September 1930].

Cousins, a farmer of Talpa, left his home because of drouth conditions, and had carried his family with him to south Texas to pick cotton.

According to information received here they had started for a Sunday afternoon ride when the car came upon a grade crossing of the railroad on an unfrequented county road. The train approached through a cut between the sides of the hill and Cousins was not believed to have seen it approach. The four met instant death.

Louis Pendleton, Cousin's brother-in-law, and his family were preceding the Cousins family in another car.

The engineer halted the train and backed it to Georgetown with the dead and injured child.
