The Covington Star, July 8, 1885
Killed By the Cars
     On last Saturday night, the 4th of July, Mr. John W. Treadwell, of 
Conyers, was run over by the down through freight train, and instantly killed,
at a point between Yellow river and Conyers known as Richardson's Crossing. It 
is thought he had sat down on the track to rest and had fallen asleep, when the 
engine struck him. Mr. Treadwell was about 25 or 30 years of age, and was 
married. He had been in Covington during Saturday, and after starting home, he 
stopped with a party and assisted in seining in Yellow river for several hours 
before continuing on his way home. It is said he was not durnk, but it is 
thought he simply sat down on the track to rest, when he fell asleep and was 
struck by the engine and killed. His body was badly mangled.
