The Marietta Journal & Courier January 17, 1913
LOST MOUNTAIN

Messrs John A and W A McDONALD received a message Sunday of the death of their
sister, Mrs Julia A MAYS of Chico, Tex., which occurred Saturday afternoon at
five o'clock.  She was the widow of the late John N MAYES.  The family lived
here but moved to Texas more than 25 years ago.  She was a good woman, a member
of the Presbyterian church.  Beside her two brothers she has a number of
relatives here to mourn her death.

Miss Ida SCOTT is assisting Prof W B JOHNSON in the school here.

Judson WATSON has been sick with grip but glad to state he is improving.

We are glad to see the Marietta papers outspoken against a near beer saloon.  We
believe the people of the country would be bitterly opposed to having it sold. 
It would teach our boys to be drinkers and cause trouble in general.  Let the
city authorities count the cost before opening a beer saloon.  

Our community was shocked at the sad accident that occurred here Monday morning,
resulting in the death of Mr Cicero SEAGRAVES.  He, in company with Dr W D
WRIGHT, E L MAYES, Sherman WATKINS and H B CLAY were cutting telephone poles on
the side of Lost Mountain and he was standing near a falling tree which pulled
over another tree and as it swung back it threw a limb that struck Mr SEAGRAVES
hear the top of head, fracturing and crushing the skull.  Dr W D WRIGHT gave him
medical attention and immediately summoned Dr C T NOLAN.  He was hastened to Dr
NOLAN's sanitarium where an operation was performed on the skull but he never
regained consciousness after the lick and died about two o'clock Tuesday
morning.  Mr SEAGRAVES was highly respected and commanded the esteem of the
entire community.  He stood ready to help in any good work in the community, was
a very obliging neighbor, cheerful and kind to all.  His sudden death has cast a
gloom over the community.  He leaves a wife and one child, two brothers and one
sister in Chico, Texas.  Bird SEAGRAVES of Chico was summoned and came
immediately to attend the funeral.  He was a faithful member of the Baptist
church and his funeral will take place at Midway as soon as his relatives
arrive.  The entire community feel a profound sympathy for the sorrowing wife.
