SAD DEATH
-------
James Crawford, Jr., Killed While Coupling Cars - Remains Were Brought to
Stephensport For Burial.
-------
(Stephensport Special.)

One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in our town for sometime was that of
James Crawford, Jr.  He was killed at Newport, Ark., in the switch yard wile
coupling cars.  God his foot fastened in a frog and two cars passed over his limbs. 
He lived two hours and twenty minutes and was perfectly conscious up until about ten
minutes before he died and while carrying him to the doctor's office he asked if the
train was guarded, if anyone had been left to guard it.  Faithful boy stuck to his
post of duty till death.  He has a host of friends who are sad indeed, but our loss
is Heaven's gain.  Rev. Hoskinson, of Sonora, conducted the funeral services at the
M. E. Church, of which was was a member.  His remains were laid to rest beside his
father in the Hill cemetery on Monday afternoon.  He leaves a mother, one brother,
John Crawford, of Sliver City, Miss.; and a sister, Mrs. Harvey English, Jr., of
this place.
