I
stepped off the curb to take a picture of the Opera House. A
noiseless tram was coming to the left of me that I did not see or
hear.
My friend, Tillie Griffin Newhouse, grabbed my arm and pulled me up
to the sidewalk. As I turned to the left, when she grabbed me, I saw
the conductor's face reacting to thinking he was going to hit me. I
was saved!
I was shook up after my miss from death that day, but I pulled
myself together and we continued sightseeing. I shared this news
with my and Tillie's church, Jefferson Street Christian Church, one
Sunday before Thanksgiving 2011, and I wanted to share it with you,
Lincoln Daily News.
Tillie's a true hero! We've been friends for ages, go to the same
church, and we're both former teachers in Logan County.
Thank you for considering my hero for your website.
