Middle Ga. Argus – Week of May 12, 1891
On Wednesday afternoon, some colored people, who lived on Capt. McMichaels farm 
near Pittsman’s Ferry, was returning from Jackson.  They were in a wagon and 
while going on the railroad about a mile east of town a train suddenly made its 
appearance and the Negroes hastily got out of the wagon for fear the team would 
become frightened and run.  The women alighted quickly and as she reached the 
ground fell over dead.  It was supposed she died from heart failure and that 
the attack was brought on by the scare.
