Cedartown Standard,  Cedartown, GA., January 2, 1901
?. S. Payne, a death mute living near Cave Spring, was struck by a special 
train on the Southern Railway near Six Mile Station last Sunday afternoon, was 
instantly killed. Payne was on his way to Six Mile to attend the funeral of his 
sister, Mrs. Jackson, who died Friday. He was just south of the station, and 
nearing his destination. He was protecting himself from the driving rain by 
holding the umbrella over his shoulder. The special going towards Rome ran him 
down, and the unfortunate man was fearfully mangled. The accident was 
unavoidable, as it is said to have occurred on a sharp curve. Payne was 40 
years of age, married, and leaves a widow and seven children, all of whom are 
deaf except one. He was a good man, and his frightful death is deeply 
regretted. The remains of Payne were picked up by the train and taken to Rome. 
Later the body was carried to his home for interment. (Cedartown Standard, 
January 2, 1901)
