The Georgia Enterprise, January 28, 1892
DEATH’S SAD ROLL
     Wednesday evening of last week, a dispatch reached here that Mr. HENRY S. 
SUMMERS had been accidentally run over and killed by a service train on the 
Georgia railroad. Mr. SUMMERS was dispatcher on service train No. 1 of the 
Georgia road, and when the train was near Lexington, on the Athens branch, Mr. 
SUMMERS started to go from one end of the train to the other. While in the act 
of stepping from one car to the other he lost his footing and fell between the 
moving cars. His body was mangled and death must have been instant, for the 
wheels of four of the cars passed over him before the train could be stopped.
     His body was prepared for burial and sent to Covington, where it was laid 
to rest on Thursday afternoon. Mr. SUMMERS was a young man about 18 years old. 
He is a brother of Miss NELLIE SUMMERS and half brother to Mrs. T. L. ANDERSON, 
of this city. He has many relatives and friends who will mourn his untimely and 
tragic death.
