Frank J. Terrel is Killled at I
Chesterfield
Chesterfield, Nov. 13.?Choos
ing to wreck his aeroplane and ' risk
his life rather than endange- 1
er the lives of several hundred
Chesterfield people, Frank J.
Terrel, the aviator, met death
here this afternoon when his
machine was telescoped an 1
and crashed to earth, burying
the driver beneath the machinery,
Mr. Terrel had been making
flights at the county fair here
this week and was scheduled to j
make his last appearance at 3
o'clock this afternoon, lie rose
without mishan from the traek. .
' I
which was massed with people '
on either side. He rapidly rose .
to a height of about 500 feet and ]
flew to the edge of town, circled (
and headed back toward the \
fair grounds. ,
As he appeared in sight it was (
seen that he was having trouble t
with his engine. t
The police had been unable
to hold back the crowd and the ;.
track, on which he was to land,
was thronged with people. The (
descent of the machine into the \
crowd would have meant the j
death of many persons. (
Terrel quickly made the deci .
sion which cost him his life and ,
made him a hero. His engine (
Having stoppeu ne gave tlie ma (
chine a quick twist to the right .
and with the aeroplane was hurl- .
ed to the ground a few feet from
the fence, against which the big ,
crowd was massed. I
The following account was I
given J^^^^Advertser: <
At
nbOfJBB^
attempted his second flight and 1
had rised to a height of about, 1
300 feet, when turning his ma-! 1
chine to re-circuit the fail <
grounds, making a "dip" as he t
came, the machine collapsed and s
fell crushing to the ground j I
where it now lies a heap of shat j
tered ruin.
The crowd witnessing thej
flight numbered about 600 and ,
when the explosion occurred j
and the machine darted sudden
ly downward, there went up a
great heart renderihg cry from
the vast throng, for all knew (
that the daring young aviator |
had made hir last flight. (
The machine reached the)
ground in a cotton field adjoin ,
ing the fair grounds. It is
thought by many that Mr. Ter
rell knew his machine had col !
lapsed and was making an ef
fort to effect a safe landing. It
is claimed by a number that he I
signalled. His body was terri
blv mangled and crushed and
while he breathed once or
twice after striking the earth,'
life was practically extinct. I)rs.
Perry, Gardner and Teal were |
quickly at his side and made'
every effort possible but noth
ing could be done.
Mr. Terrell is survived by his
mother, who is eighty years of
age and his wife?a bride of
seven months. Mrs. Terrell
stood by her husband up to the
time of the flight on Thursday
and was the first one to greet
him when he landed safely.
All day Friday the devoted
young couple were promenading
the fair giounds together up 1
to the time of the flight.
Mrs. 1 errell, it is said, plead
with her husband to give up aviation,
and she begged him on
both days not to go up.
Aviator Terrell has been Hying
three years. He was a native
of Worcester, Mass.
Out of a class in aviation of
14, there are now only two lefl,
all having been killed or disabled
for life.

Kidnapped For Twenty Years
Pee Dec Advocate
While at the depot looking for
news items last Saturday afternoon,
an Advocate reporter
found Tims Gaddy, and in a
brief interview before the train
left, obtained some interesting
information about Mr. Caddy's
career. He said that when he
was an eight-year-old hoy, in the
lower part ot this county, 26
years aco, he went with some
other boys to a show at Clio.
There he was kidnapped by Jeff
Williams and taken to his home
in Randolph county, N. C. The
family made every effort to find
him, but failed.
lie remained with Williams
till after he was 21 and then he
went to Thompson, Ga., where
he went to work in a cotton mill
eight years as a weaver. A few
days ago he decided to come
back to Marlboro and try to find
his relatives. At Columbia he
met up with Jasper T. Esterling,
who was deputy sheriff here un
der Sheriff R A. Rogers when
Gaddy was taken from Clio.
Mr. Easterling is now a magistrate
in Columbia. He gave
Gaddy a letter of introduction to
James F. McGilvray of Clio.
He arrived at Clio Friday, Oct.
16, and Mr. McGilvary helped
him locate his living relatives.
He found that his father. George
Gaddy, was gored to death by a
bull a number ot years ago. He
found a brother, a sister, and
several other relatives.
When seen here Saturday, Mr.
Gaddy was on his way to Darlington,
>ylierc he bad secured a
WPP
part of tht^^^^ny, came up on
the noon train from Drake and
saw her brother for a little while
for the first time since he so
mysteriously disappeared 26
years ago.
