Atlanta Sun March 14, 1837
March 14, 1837: KILLED BY THE CARS. About a week ago Theodore Ashburn, a 
freight conductor on the North and South road of Alabam, was instantly killed 
by the engine of a passenger train running into his caboose. He had failed to 
put out the proper signal. Mr. Ashburn was a son of George W. Ashburn, whose 
tragic death occurred in Columbus several years since. He was at one time 
connected with the State Road, and was represented as an Industrious and hard-
working man.

Additional Comments:
I came across this article on the internet and after reading it though 
Theodore Ashburn to possibly be the son of the very same George W. Ashburn who 
founded Turner County, Georgia. I do not actually have a copy of this article.
