WILL BEARD FOUND DEAD NEAR FALCON
Lewisport, Ky. October 23rd (Special) (Hancock County)
     Will BEARD, a young white man, was found dead by the side of the railroad 
tracks near Falcon Station, and about 5 miles above the city (Lewisport) last 
Saturday morning (October 21, 1899).  His skull was crushed and both legs were 
broken.  A jug of wine was found near the body, and it is thought that while 
intoxicated, he fell asleep on the track, and was struck by a train sometime 
during the night.  Mr. BEARD is said to have been an industrious young man, 
and save for an occasional spree, bore a good reputation.
 


Additional Comments:
I found a Will Miller BEARD buried at the Hardinsburg Ivy Hill Cemetery #2, 
but there are no dates on his tombstone.  I have no idea if this is the Will 
Beard who died on October 21, 1899.  I found this information in the 
Breckinridge County Cemeteries, volume one, published in 1991.
