(Cedartown Standard, January 21, 1904) 
A construction train on the A. & B. met with an accident Tuesday at Irondale, 
Ala., some heavily loaded cars jumping the track while going around a curve. 
Mr. Chas. Turner of Atlanta, one of the most popular conductors on the road, 
was instantly killed. Mr. John Hill, a clever Cedartown boy was among the 
injured, being somewhat cut and bruised. Three other Cedartown boys_Messrs. Ab. 
Goodwin and Will Hutchings and Frank Hightower_were members of the train crew, 
but were fortunate enough to escape injury. Conductor Turner had many friends 
in Cedartown who greatly deplored the untimely death of a popular railroad man 
who was as big-hearted as he was large physically. (Cedartown Standard, January 
21, 1904)
