Marietta Journal
A horrible accident happened to Fletcher McGee of this place on the 15th 
inst.  He was returning home from Dallas, in his buggy, when his mule became 
frightened, ran down a hill near Mr. Ivy Rakestraw's mill, and throwing Mr. 
McGee out, fracturing his skull in two places.  He was picked up unconscious 
and carried home.  Drs. Cotton and Dunn were summoned, but nothing could be 
done, and he died on the 20th inst., still unconscious.  Mr. McGee was alone 
when the accident occurred which deprived him of life.  He was 70 years old, a 
well to do farmer and a good Christian.  The mule is 20 years old or more and 
was never known to get frightened before.  no one knows what he got scared at, 
unless the old saying that "a mule will serve his master 20 years to get to 
kill him".
