The Caldwell Watchman, November 10, 1916
O. R. Cody of Riverton, was killed last Sunday morning by the south bound 
passenger train, which arrived at Riverton at 5:30. He had been to Monroe and 
came back on a freight train which arrived at Riverton at 4:10, and was going to 
his home at the old Vollman mill place near the Ouachita river bridge, when the 
train ran into him, killing him instantly. His body was carried back to Riverton 
by the train crew and left in the depot, where it was examined by Coroner Biggs 
and Dr. May, who decided that an inquest was not necessary as no one was at 
fault, as he came to death by his own carelessness.

His remains were carried to Fellowship, and laid to rest in the family cemetery.

He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss.
