The Georgia Enterprise, Nov. 25, 1904
Death of Mrs. J. W. Worsham
  Mrs. Carrie Hyer Worsham, wife of Superintendent J. W. Worsham of the 
Covington Cotton Mills, died at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon after an
illness lasting eight months. 
  Mrs. Worsham, it will be remembered, was the victim of a frightful accident
at the mill of which her husband is manager, on the 2nd of last March. While
removing some hot house flowers from the basement of the mill her hair was 
suddenly caught by the shafting of the moving machinery, tearing the scalp
completely from her head and inflicting other serious injuries about the
body. She was unconsious for several days after the accident and for months
was in a precarious condition. The patient was attended by the best medical
skill obtainable and until complications took place a few days ago which
superinduced death, her friends entertained great hopes for her complete
recovery.
  Mrs. Worsham was one of the best known and most widely beloved women of 
Covington. Her beautiful Christian character endeared her to a host of 
friends throughout this section.
  The deceased is survived by her husband and two children. Ethel and Ruth,
besides five brothers and numerous other relatives. The brothers are Joseph,
Robert Pringle and Doc Hyer, of Atlanta.
  Funeral services will be conducted at Midway Methodist Church Friday, by the
Rev. Geo. W. Duval, the interment being at Oxford.
