The Marietta Journal, July 25, 1907
KILLED ON TRACK AT SMYRNA

Albert Sprouse a Victim of 'Atlanta's Prosperity.'

Mr Albert SPROUSE, son of Mr Doc SPROUSE, of this county, went to Atlanta
Saturday and tanked up on "Atlanta's prosperity," and started back to Marietta
on electric car line.  Conductor ALLEN tried to get him to keep seated in the
car, but at Love's crossing below Smyrna, when the train stopped, he insisted on
getting off.  He wandered around that place, and finally sat down on a cross-tie
on W & A railroad and went to sleep with his head on a rail.  A freight train
came along and the pilot struck his head, breaking his neck.

His remains were brought to Black's undertaking establishment at this place,
where an inquest was held by Coroner LAWHON.  The verdict was that he came to
his death by his own carelessness.

His remains were carried to the Noonday settlement for interment.
