Gaffney Republican state representative Dennis Moss' district includes Corinth Baptist Church, home to 15 parishioners injured recently when a train for children derailed on a bridge at Spartanburg's Cleveland Park. Six-year-old Benji Easler was killed and 27 others injured in the crash including the boy's parents, siblings and the church's pastor. A Spartanburg County insurance adjuster, who told them there is a $600,000 total limit to pay any claims they submitted to pay for bills and other expenses related to the crash.
