Middle Ga. Argus,  Week of February 17,1891
A Sad Death
A Young Man Kicked By A Mule And Dies In Great Agony

On  Friday night about 7 o’clock Mr. Henry Thaxton, Jr. son of Mr. Wesley 
Thaxton,  was going home from this place with a load of fertilizers.  He was 
driving two young mules and after going within a fourth of a mile of home the 
mules became frighten and ran away.

The young man struck on the side of his head by something supposed to be a kick 
from a mule and left insensible.  He lay for a long while and during the night 
he wandered away and finally, at daylight he reached the dwelling of Mr. C. R. 
Carter.  Dr. Ellis was called and it was found that his skull had been crushed 
in.  On Sunday, Drs. Bryans and Ellis removed the broke bones of the brain but 
he never rallied to consciousness and died at 12 o’clock Monday night.  His 
remains will be buried on Wednesday at Fellowship cemetery at 11 o’clock

He was a young man of many good qualities, a member of Towaliga Baptist church 
and was loved by all who knew him.  He had just entered his 24th year with 
bright prospects before him.  Peace to his ashes.
