Georgia Enterprise, June 13, 1895
  On Saturday morning a negro boy by the name of Owen Walker, aged about
10 years, went to sleep on the track of the M. G. & A. R. R., near Shiloh
church, between Broughtonville and Kelly, and was knocked from the track
and so badly hurt about the head and body that he died on Sunday. The 
engineer did all in his power to stop the train, but could not do so until
it had struck the boy. No blame can be attached to any of the trainmen for
this accident, because it was brought about by the reckless carelessness of
the boy in going to sleep on the track when he was sent to watch some cows
that were grazing near the railroad.
