Bynum Carter, 29 years of age, was killed at 6 o'clock Saturday evening in the switch yards at Rowland. About three weeks ago Carter returned to his home there after having spent several years as an enlisted man in the regular army, but had decided to go back again. In order to say good bye to his brother Capt. Walter Carter, who was in charge of the freight, Bynum Carter boarded the train and while it was still in motion attempted to go back to the caboose. In crossing from one car to another he lost his footing and fell to the track below. Eight cars passed over the unfortunate man before the train could be stopped and he was horribly mangled. One leg was cut off, his hip was crushed to a pulp and an arm completely severed. Notwithstanding these injuries, Carter lived an hour and was conscious a greater part of the time. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. B. Jones Sunday afternoon at the home of his mother in Rowland, after which the remains were laid to rest in Buffalo cemetery.
Interior Journal.
The unfortunate young man above referred to was a native of this county. He was a son of the late James Carter and a half nephew of the late J. B. Carter, of Cartersville, for whom he was named.
