Cedartown Standard, Cedartown, GA., Thursday, April 18, 1918
Carl Young, fell Monday afternoon from the dinky engine on which he was firing 
at Washer No. 1 of the Woodstock Operating Co., and was so badly injured that 
he soon died after being rushed into town. The train of ore cars was backing 
down grade without steam, and in straightening himself up after putting in coal 
he fell over backward, hitting the track and being run over by the engine, 
which Engineer Ed Shiflett stopped as quickly as possible. The deceased was 
eighteen years old, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Young, and was very highly 
esteemed by his employer, Mr. R.D. Davis and his fellow workmen. The mine was 
shut down Tuesday because of his death, and a number accompanied the remains to 
Silver Creek for the funeral: Messrs. R.D. Davis, A.W. Hog, Geo Kennedy, Sr. 
and Jr., Ed and Marion Shiflett, John Davis, Bob Hudson, Robert Broom, Dick 
Pritchett and Al Mann. Accompanying the family also were Mr. and Mrs. T.J. 
Beasley, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Stephens, Mesdames F.D. Barnes and J.O. Tyler, 
Messrs. O.Y. Rose, Graydon Pritchett and B. Nations. (Cedartown Standard, 
Thursday, April 18, 1918)
