Cedartown Standard, November 20, 1902
Mr. Joseph Ellison, A fatal accident occurred Friday morning about 9 o’clock 
near the Cherokee flour mills, in which Mr. Joseph G. Ellison lost his life. 
Mr. Ellison had been drinking rather heavily of late, and when he saw Marshal 
Jolley in that vicinity, thought that he was after him for some reason. Mr. 
Jolley was out collecting street tax, and did not even see Ellison. The latter 
started to run along the creek bank, however, but stumbled and fell into the 
creek. The water is only a couple of feet deep at that point, but Ellison 
evidently struck his head against a rock, and he was drowned before help could 
reach him. Ellison was a moulder in the employ of the Alabama & Georgia Iron 
Company’s foundry, and was a fine workman and well liked by all who knew him. 
He leaves a wife and three small children. His remains were taken Saturday to 
New Harmony for burial. (Cedartown Standard, November 20, 1902)
