The Paulding New Era, May 24, 1883
A Sad Accident.  Last Sabbath evening, after Sabbath school closed at County 
Line church, near the line of Cobb and Paulding, Mr. John Story’s only son, 
aged about 13 years, was drowned in Story & Lewis’s gin pond.  It ___that  
Charley Brooks went home with Mr. Story’s son from Sabbath school, and they 
agreed to go down to the pond where they found other boys, none of whom could 
swim, neither could Story’s.  Story’s son waded in till all at once he came to 
a place where the water was over his head, there he drowned.  All the boys 
except Charley Brooks ran home at once, he conveyed the sad news to the 
drowned boy’s aged mother, who was at home sick; it is feared that the shock 
will cause her death.  The body remained under water about an hour before 
being taken out.  

Little boys, do not venture into deep water, lest you might meet the said fate 
of young Story.  He is dead – so more is embrace a kind and loving father and 
mother here on earth.  We extend our kind condolence to the bereaved family.
