Accident at Calhoun

Milton Fain, son of Judge Fain, of the Cherokee circuit, met with a distressing accident at Calhoun one day last week. He was driving a team of spirited horses when they became frightened and ran away, throwing young Fain violently against a fence near the road. He sustained serious injuries and his recovery is yet concidered doubtful.

CALHOUN TIMES
Oct 16, 1884

Since death has robbed us of one of our most worthy members, it becomes our painful duty to chronicle a few thoughts in tribute to his memory.

Encomiums are useless. Fully recognizing his duty as a son, as a brother and as a friend, Milton, by his deportment has ever shed a holo of bounty and levellness felt and emjoyed by all with whom he was accociated. His afflictions were not long but severe. Loving hands and human skill failed to avert the death angel, and his many friends and relatives mourn his early loss called away just as he was merging into manhood and usefulness.

His christian faith remained unshaken, and he died with the full assurance of a bright and happy future - the last and crowning solace of a well spent life - the gliding tjat ;omes tje dark cloud of death, giving promise of a heavenly sun, that forever shines above.

Whereas, God, in His omniscience, has seen fit to remove one of our number from this earthly abode to His heavenly sanctuary.

Resolved 1st, That in death of Milton Fain, we as a Sabbath school, and as individuals, have lost a loved friend, a valued associate and a faithful co-worker in every good cause, letting as he did, his light shines, not only by noble precept, but worthy example.

Resolved 2nd, That we extend to the bereaved father, mother, brothers and sisters our deepest sympathy, begging them to remember that, though their loss is great, God "doeth all things well."

Resolved 3d, That these resolutions be published in the Calhoun Times, and a copy be furnished the family of the deceased.

In behalf of Sabbath school.

Death of Judge Fain's son.
Calhourn, Ga., September 18-[Special.] - Mr. Milton Fain, oldest son of Judge J. C. Fain, died here at one o'clock and thirty minutes yesterday, after a protracted illness of near three weeks' duration. Mr. Fain was a strong and vigorous young man, in his nineteenth year. When stricken down with the malignant type of fever that today extinguished his noble life, for which the future promised such brilliant possibilities and held out so many encouraging hopes, he was indeed an exemplary young man. Loved by all who knew him, and met the grim monster death with unfaltering willingness. The entire community mournin with the bereaved family.
