Lexington Progress 25 Feb 2009 ERNEST LONG - Last Saturday night between 12 and 1 a.m. when Robert Winslow, farmer and ginner, living seven miles west of Lexington was coming from the Jackson fair in his car and had reached the Sand Ridge Crossing six miles from Lexington on Hwy 20 and as he was making the turn to the right into the road which leads to his home, his car was crashed into from the rear by a car driven by Ernest Long, aged 26, son of W.B. Long, merchant of Beacon, with the result that Long was dead before reaching Lexington and Amon Bowman, age 22, who was iwth him, seriously hurt in the back. The next car that came along was driven by Red Hinson, of Lexington, who helped pull the injured man from the wreck, and he was brought on to Lexington. Dr. J.F. Goff was called and at first glance the doctor saw that Long was dead with no visible break on his body, which brought the conclusion that his neck was broken. News of the accident had been sent to Beacon and before the body of Long was taken from the car, a truck load of people from Beacon and Parsons had reached here and Long was identified by his niece, a daughter of Will Long. The body was turned over to undertaker R.R. Pafford. In making the turn at Sand Ridge, Winslow must have veered to the left in order to make the short turn or acute angle, not knowing there was a car coming from the rear. From the impace the oncoming car must hav ebeen making terrific speed, and it was little short of miraculous that Winslow and wife, son and Miss Ruby Davenport, a lexington girl, who were with him, were not injured. A later report was to the effect that when the crash came, the Winslow's car had made the turn and as off the concrete and that the oncoming car was partly off the slab, striking the Winslow car at the frong right door.
