Obituary of Hannibal Crosson 
as written in "The Lumpkin Independent" dated Jul 1887.  


Some two months since, Mr. Crawson was aroused at midnight by a dog and drove 
off a strange dog engaged in a fight with his own. In parting them, however, the visiting 
cur bit Mr. Crawson slightly on the hand. The next day Mr. Crawson's dog died, and it 
transpired that the intruding cur bit a neighbor's dog the same night from the effects of 
which he also died. This caused some uneasiness to Mr. Crawson, but as the wound on 
hand healed readily he thought it was nothing serious. On the 6th of July, however, he 
was taken suddenly sick and those attending say he died with all the symptoms of 
hydrophobia.
