The Georgia Enterprise, August 11, 1899
Lillie Drake Killed at Porterdale
     Miss Lillie Drake, a little girl of 12 summers, was instantly killed at 
Porterdale late Tuesday afternoon. She had just quit work and was standing near 
the elevator, looking down into the darkness below, heedless that the elevator 
was coming down loaded down with machinery. It struck her before she knew it 
breaking her neck, splitting her head, breaking her shoulder blade, and badly 
mutilating her body.
     She was one of the factory hands and has been in the employ of the factory 
for two years. She is said to have been a bright happy child with a large 
number of friends and few enemies. Her death is deplored by all.
