The man has been identified as Dennis C. Hill, 41, of Kingsport, according to a Kingsport Police Department press release. The incident occurred about 2:45 a.m. Saturday on the CSX Railroad tracks west of Lilac Street. "At approximately 2:45 a.m., a CSX train was eastbound on the tracks and was approaching the Lilac Street intersection when the engineer saw what appeared to be a person lying between the train tracks," a KPD report said. "The train engineer attempted to stop the train but could not due to the close proximity of the pedestrian. The train struck the pedestrian and dragged the pedestrian approximately 75 feet." No one on the train was injured, police said. Hill’s nephew, Chris Hill, said it is possible Dennis Hill did not die of injuries caused by the train. Hill said his uncle had been complaining of chest pains for some time before the incident. He had not seen a doctor about the problem, however, so no diagnosis of a heart condition was ever made. "Nobody will know for sure," Hill said, but added that it’s likely that his uncle suffered a heart attack and was already dead when the train struck him. The night Dennis Hill died, he’d gone to visit a friend and hadn’t been feeling well when he left for home, his nephew said. The friend lived near the tracks.

She was the last of her siblings to depart this life. Myrt was a virtuous woman that always put the needs of her children ahead of her own. After the passing of her husband, Myrt found herself in a difficult position with five minor children to rear alone. She had never worked outside the home and had never even driven a car. With a stern resolve that only a mother would understand, she was determined to raise her children and give them as much love and security as she could provide. Though Myrt did not finish high school and had little resources, she managed to achieve what she set out to do. She was devoted to her children and worked hard to see that they were never without anything they needed. She will be deeply missed by everyone that knew and loved her, but especially by her children. Myrt is survived by one son, Thomas Hommell and wife, Lesa; two daughters, Frances Spivey and husband, Harlan and Deborah France and husband, Eugene; nine grandchildren, Pat Hommell, Jack Hommell, Joe Hommell, David Hommell and wife, Amy, Terry Spivey and wife, Amber, Amy Addington and husband, Chris, John Hommell and wife, Kristi, Jessica Shupe and husband, Gary; 11 great-grandchildren, Heather, David, Matthew, Aaron, Abbey, Teresa, Ariel, Olivia, Alex, Lauren and Tyler. She is also survived by two very dear friends, Vestine Williams affectionately known to her as "sister" and Barbara Barnett that she lovingly called "daughter".

by Delmar Fraysier Sarah Bertha Hood GIRL'S MURDER IS CHARGED TO YOUTH ----------------------------- Earl Renion Held as Slayer of Bertha Hood at East Stone Gap - Both 17 ----------------------------- WISE, VA., Nov. 4 (AP) - A 17-year old boy faced charges here today in the slaying of a high school girl of the same age. Earl Renion of Irondale was arrested yesterday soon after discovery of the body of Bertha Hood of East Stone Gap on railroad tracks near the girl's home. She had been shot through the heart. Renion was charged with having knowledge of the girl's murder and his hearing set for today. A second youth, "Shorty" Hopkins, was held as a material witness. Authorities quoted the boy as saying he shot the girl accidentally. He had been questioned shortly before discovery of the body by a section hand who knew nothing of a searching party that had scoured the vicinity all Sunday night. William M. Hood, father of the girl and the postmaster here, said both Renion and Hopkins were friends of the girl. (Kingsport Times, Tuesday, November 4, 1930) ____________________________________ Earl Runion and Shorty Hopkins May Go on Trial Tomorrow If Grand Jury Indicts Them for Killing 15-Year Old Girl ----------------------------- A special grand jury will go into session at 9 a. m., today at Wise court house, Wise, Va., to probe the slaying of Bertha Hood, 15 year old East Stone Gap high school student who was shot to death November 2 [1930]. Earl Runion and Shorty Hopkins, both of Wise county are in jail charged with murder in connection with her death. Should Runion and Hopkins be indicted, prospects are that they will go on trial for murder tomorrow morning. Since the lifeless body of Miss Hood was found the morning of November 3 and Runion’s statement that he shot her accidentally, Wise county has been in turmoil. The calling of the special grand jury session came despite the fact that the docket is already crowded with more cases than there is time for disposition. The two boys were released November 5 on $3000 bonds but were re-arrested the following day when county officers feared for their safety. County officials deem it best to dispose of the cases immediately. Judge H. A. W. Skeens, presiding over the circuit court, will hear the case. Commonwealth's Attorney W. W. G. Dotson will be assisted by Attorney Bruce. Judge R. R. Parker of Appalachia will represent the defendants. Both prisoners deny charges. Runion told Sheriff Lee Skeens he shot the girl accidentally when he emptied cartridges from his pistol. He at first said he knew nothing of her death, the sheriff said. Hopkins, who like Runion had been having engagements with Miss Hood, told officers he had not seen Runion on the night in question but statements from several that the two were together caused his arrest. One man, a restaurant keeper, stated that the two boys had been in his establishment together. Runion said that after the shooting he waited five or ten minutes after Miss Hood died, debated with himself as to whether he should report it, and finally went to his home at Irondale. It was there that William Hood, postmaster and prominent East Stone Gap man, father of the girl, found him. Runion led a party to the body where it had lain all night, face downward, in the cinders of the railroad track near the East Stone Gap station. The slain girl was a member of a well known East Stone Gap family. She was a senor of East Stone Gap high school, prominent in school activities and one of the most popular girls in the town.
