DARTT, Angie George – Mrs. Lizelle George, aged 55 years, of Tioga, was fatally injured last Friday afternoon about 4 o’clock, when her Overland car was struck by New York Central freight train No. 82, northbound, on the Bear Creek crossing.  Miss Anna Engler, of Tioga, was with Mrs. George, and she escaped death, but was severely injured her hip and collar bone being fractured, and she was badly cut and bruised.  The car was carried 75 feet along the track and was completely demolished.  Mrs. George was taken to her home by Dr. C.W. Sheldon, where she died about two hours after the accident.  Miss Engler was also taken to her home.  She will probably recover.  The ladies were on their way to the Blossburg hospital to bring home a friend.  They had traveled alongside the train for some distance and thought they could make the crossing in safety.  When they were on the tracks the engine of the car stalled and the freight, which was going about 50 miles an hour, crashed into them.  Mrs. George was prominent in church circles and was well-known through the county.  She is survived by her husband, two sons, Max, of Tioga and William, of Syracuse University, and one daughter, Mabel.   (another article about this on same page)  The funeral of Mrs. Angie D. George who was fatally injured Friday, was held at the family home here Monday afternoon at one o’clock; interment in Evergreen cemetery.  Mrs. George was born in Wellsboro, Pa., in 1872.  In 1889 she was married to Lizell George, and for the past eleven years, she had resided in Tioga.  She was a member of the Austinburg Baptist church and of the W.C.T.U.  Mrs. George was a woman who could not fail to make her mark in any community in which she lived.  She was of a keen and active mind, an able business woman, one of the first to take up any work of progress or of benefit to the town or country.  She was a militant temperance worker, and woman suffragist, and she founded many Sunday Schools and churches in parts of the county which were far away from the nearest church.  Although extremely active and busy, Mrs. George could always find time for friendly intercourse and helpfulness to others.  It was while bound on such an errand of kindness that the accident occurred that cut short her life.  She is survived by her husband, Lizell George, by two sons Max George and William George, all of Tioga, by one daughter Miss Mabel George of Syracuse and by one brother, Roy S. (D)artt of Moravia, N.Y. and by three sisters, Mrs. E.D. Collins of Glen Ridge, N.J., Mrs. R.D. Rose, of Wellsboro, and Mrs. H.D. King of Bloomfield, N.J.   Wellsboro Agitator, 1 October 1919
