Macon Georgia Telegraph 11 Jan 1841

The following letter has been handed to me for publication.  We regret to learn 
the melancholy intelligence.  Mr. Hurt was well known to a number of our 
readers, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.--Col. Enq. [Columbus 
Enquirer, Muscogee Co. GA]
                Warrenton, Ga., Dec. 21, 1841
Benjamin Hurt, Esq.--Dear Sir:  It becomes my painful duty to announce to you 
the death of WILLIAM HURT, who was killed, on Friday, the 17th inst, by a tree 
falling on him, while going from Abraham Brinckley's to Shivers' mill in Warren 
county.  The horse that he was riding was also killed.  Mr. Hurt never spoke or 
moved after the tree fell on him.  Solomon Miller was in company with him, and 
escaped from the same death by only two or three feet.  William Hurt was buried 
at my house, on Saturday, the 18th instant, and every thing was done by me, for 
the occasion, that was necessary and proper.
Yours truly,        JOHN McCRARY
