Middle Ga. Argus Week of August 23  1894
While driving from Jackson last week Prof. H. M. Fletcher accompanied by his 
sister Miss Neva Fletcher and Miss Mary Duke, drove on to Glenn’s bride over 
Towaliga river and the horse backed off the bridge falling in the river on his 
back and throwing buggy bottom upwards in the water.  The two young ladies were 
caught under the buggy and would have drowned but  for the presence of Mr. 
Fletcher’s father, R. M. Fletcher, who assisted him in rescuing the ladies.  
With the exception of some serious bruises the loss of Miss Mary’s hat and 
watch chain the whole party came out alive but wet.  The horse or the buggy was 
not hurt thought they fell several feet.
