Bee H. Lusk saved an unidentified woman and two children from being killed by a train, Bluefield, West Virginia, February 9, 1918. The woman, who carried a baby and a suitcase, and a child walked across a track on which a passenger train was approaching to board another train. The woman and the child then started to recross, but the woman delayed on the track on account of the child, who moved slowly. Lusk, 37, brakeman, who was in a car on the train the woman had intended to board, ran about 50 feet to them and pushed the woman and carried the child off the track. The train was about three feet from Lusk when he cleared its path, and it passed him at a speed of 15 m.p.h. 15155-1405
