Death of Engineer Lewis, The Pine Belt News - Brewton, Escambia Co., AL

"The Pine Belt News", No.2
Brewton, Alabama
March 5, 1895

Engineer Lewis, who was pulling the wrecked passenger train near Greenville
on the 23rd, was killed below Fort Deposit last Friday about noon. The axle
of the front drivers broke, causing the connecting rod on the engineer's
side to be wrenched in twain. He looked out to see what was the trouble and
the broken rod hurled him into enternity without a moment's warning. He was
well-liked by everyone along the line. It was the same engine that was 
pilling the ill-fated train, No. 7
