Montgomery Co. GA newspaper Thursday, 2 Jan 1894 :


At Allentown Wednesday, E. R. McPhail was at work at
his mill.  The saw struck a piece of plank knocking
it through him, killing him instantly.  His family,
which is large, lives near Cochran.  His death is
quite a blow to them.  About 8 years ago he made his
home here in Mt. Vernon.

NOTES:
It links him to three towns, Allentown where the
sawmill was, Cochran, and Mt. Vernon. He had several
brothers and sisters in the area also.  Would like
to find where he is buried. There was a cemetery in
Cochran that several of the McPhail's were buried in
but it is my understanding that cemetery has been
destroyed and is somewhere in a field that is under
cultivation now. So will never know who was buried
there unless I can find some records
