Cairo Messenger, April 12, 1907
Mr. Byron Sasser Killed By Train
Mr. Sasser, brakeman on South bound freight was instantly killed at 2 p.m. 
yesterday afternoon.  The train was backing up and the brakeman was standing in 
the rear door of the caboose and the engine, giving a sudden jerk, caused him 
to fall out.  One wheel ran over shoulder, neck and one arm, almost severing 
his head from his body. (Bainbridge Tribune, April 7)

Mr. Byron Sasser, the above mentioned young man was a son of Mr. J. M. Sasser, 
one of Grady County's Commissioners, and was possessed of many enobling traits, 
and his demise is regretted by a large number of relatives and friends, joined 
in by the Messenger who tenders condolence to the young widow and mother, and 
may the Great Healer comfort her in her hour of sorrow.

The remains were laid to rest last Sunday in the family burying ground
