The Mountain Wave, January 7, 1899:
'On the eve of the 31st ult., the 9 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A.B. George, of our vicinity, while leading a young mule from water became entangled in the bridle reins. The animal scared, and ran up the creek about 140 yards, dragging the little fellow over the rocks till his almost lifeless body struck a tree, which jerked him loose from the mule, tearing off the thumb from the right hand and crushing the skull immediately over the brain. When picked up he was unconscious, and lived only twenty five minutes. The bereaved parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire neighborhood. (Alco)'
