Kinston Free Press October 7, 1905
Spencer, Oct. 6. - Through their attorneys, Wright & Carlton, of this city, the 
heirs of the late J.S. PENDER have instituted a novel suit against the Southern 
Railway Company for $10,000 damages sustained in the death of M.D. PENDER.  The 
deceased was a painter by trade and a month ago, while returning from his work at 
Albermarle, to his home in Salisbury, died in the coach in which he was riding. 
His body was not discovered until after the coach had been placed on a siding on 
the yards, having reached Salisbury at a late hour at night.  The plaintiffs claim 
that the defendant company should have removed Mr. PENDER from the car when it was 
apparent that he was dangerously ill.  The legal points at issue have never before 
been submitted to a North Carolian court.
