The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, November 7, 1902
Mr. Mat Patton Dead

Mr. Mat Patton who was on his way from his home to Williamson last Tuesday 
morning where he was engaged with the ginnery at that place was driving a mule 
thought to be safe. Mr. Foster was in the buggy with him. When near Aycock’s 
residence the mule took fright at a freight train and ran away. Both lines 
broke.  Mr. Foster jumped out without being seriously hurt. Mr. Patton 
attempted to jump and fell on his head producing concussion of the brain from 
which he never recovered consciousness. He was taken into Dr. Aycock’s home 
where he lingered until Wednesday night when he died.

Mr. Patton leaves a wife and two children, a mother and a large number of 
relatives to lament his death. He was about thirty-five years of age.

His funeral was held from the Methodist church at Williamson Thursday 
afternoon conducted by the pastor, Rev. C.V. Weathers. His remains were 
interred in the church cemetery at that place. Mr. Patton was an honest, 
upright man and held in high esteem by all who knew him.
