TRAVIS MOORE DEAD

Travis Moore, a well known brick mason, was struck by the
northbound Southern train as it passed the old Griffin
Mill Saturday night and received injuries from which he
died after being found shortly after the accident
occurred. He was not run over or badly mangled,
but knocked down the embankment.

It is said that he was sitting on the cross-ties of the
track with his hand, apparently asleep, when the train
approached. He was knocked off the track and when found
was in a dying condition.

Moore was a young man and unmarried but leaves his
parents and several brothers and sisters to mourn his
tragic and untimely death.

The remains were carried to his old home at Thomaston
Monday where the funeral and interment was made.
(Griffin Sun) The remains were interred at Atwater Monday
morning, Rev. James Barron conducting the funeral
services.
