Reno Evening Gazette December 26, 1883
A Melancholy Fate
Two Nevada People Killed by a Runaway
A month ago the Los Angeles papers contained an account of an accident whereby a
man and his wife lost their lives somewhere in that vicinity.  From private
letters lately received the Chronicle learned that the unfortunate couple were
S. Atchinson, a former attaché of the postoffice in Virginia, and his wife. 
They were driving on the road toward their ranch, when the horse ran away,
throwing them both out of the buggy.  Mrs. Atchison’s neck was broken, causing
instant death.  Mr. Atchison survived only three days and died from lockjaw
resulting from his wound.  They leave a daughter (Mrs. Mary Griffin of San Jose)
and also a son about 20 years of age.
