The Henry County Weekly, March 12, 1897
Sad Death
     Mr. J. R. Crawford died at his home on the place of Mr. C. A. McKibben, in 
Tussahaw district, last Sunday, his death resulting from a very slight accident 
which  at the time produced no apprehension whatever of the sad ending.
     About three weeks before, Mr. Crawford arose one morning to kindle a fire 
as usual, and in kneeling at the fire place, by some means a pin penetrated his 
knee, but was pulled out with only momentary pain.
     No further thought was given it until he came home at night, when he 
discovered the place had begun to swell. From this it gradually grew worse 
until the case developed into fever and death relieved his sufferings.
     The death is a distressingly sad one, a wife and three small children 
being left to bear the burdens of life alone. The  grief of the aged father was 
also touching, he having raised a family of eleven children, in which this was 
the first death to occur. Much sympathy is extended the bereaved ones.
