1955 New Article: THE NEWS JOURNAL, RADFORD, VA WED, AUG 31, 1955 (src: Find A Grave)

A flagman on a road building project was killed by the wheels of the truck he was directing yesterday afternoon.

Robert B. Akers, 38, State Highway Department employee for the past three years, died enroute to a Pulaski hospital. He had lived at Pulaski, Route 3. Pulaski Sheriff R. Summers said, the accident occurred on State Rt. 637, near Dublin at 1:45 p.m. A crew of 10 to 12 men had been engaged in open up a ditch along the side of the road. Following behind the heavy equipment used to open the ditch was the regulation dump type truck driven by R.C. Stratton which collected the soil and debris from the opened ditch. Akers job was to direct highway traffic around the project and to direct the loaded trucks. Summers said the truck had just been loaded when Akers signaled for the driver to back. Almost immediately he fell to the ground and the driver unable to see him, passed over Akers left side, breaking his arm and causing internal injuries. Dr. C.G. Fox, Pulaski County Medical Examiner, said an autopsy performed in Roanoke made it certain that death was due to the accident and not to a sudden heart attack or stroke. Summers said co-workers did not see Akers when he fell and whether he tripped over an object in the road is unknown. The accident took place on a hard surface portion of the highway.

Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Mary LaRue Akers, two sons, Earl E. Akers and Robert R. Akers, Jr, both Pulaski; two daughters, Edith June Akers and Wanda Diane Akers, both of Pulaski; his mother, Mrs. Audie Akers, Radford; two brothers, Coy Akers and Charles Akers, both of Pulaski; four sisters, Mrs. Sadie Turpin and Miss Louise Akers, both of Radford; Mrs. Callie Roseberry, Dublin and Mrs. Reba Bratton, Pulaski. The body was taken to the Strickler Funeral Home, Pulaski. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

Eula A. Reynolds, 92, of Roanoke, Va., cherished mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend was called home peacefully to be with the Lord on Thursday, September 17, 2009. Eula was born on June 14, 1917, into a loving family in Christiansburg, Va., and worked for many years at Miller's Drug Store as the manager and bookkeeper until retiring. After marrying the Reverend Scott Reynolds, she moved to Roanoke and assisted him as he served as pastor for many Methodist churches throughout the area. Eula was a faithful and devoted member of the Williamson Road Church of the Brethren and served as a deacon for many years. She loved the Lord and found comfort in Him throughout her life. She leaves behind many church friends whose presence enriched her life and brought her comfort. Eula had a wonderful sense of humor and a special presence about her, which drew people into her life. She will be truly missed by her devoted family, dear friends, and anyone whose life she touched. Her greatest joy was her devoted son, Carlton, who amazed her with his athletic talents, especially in football, and served as her source of loving enjoyment and dedication throughout her lifetime. It has been said that she was a small lady who cast a giant shadow.

Eula was preceded in death by her mother, Zora Hassie Akers; father, Guy Taylor Akers; husband, the Reverend Scott Lanier Reynolds; sisters and brothers-in-law, Ruby Booth and husband, James, of Christiansburg, Va., Nellie Sprowl and husband, Dale, of Christiansburg, Va., and Dr. Clyde Kramer, of Christiansburg, Va.; and nephew, Bruce Kramer, of Charlotte, N.C.
