Last Monday afternoon, N.M. Rayburn of Lovelady slipped when he tried to get onto a train near Dodge, where the train habitually slowed instead of stopping. One leg fell across the rail and the wheels crushed it. The train stopped at once and took him to Lovelady. Doctors W.C. Lipscomb and W.B. Collins had to amputate the right leg above the knee.
He died that night. He left a wife and children. For years, he had been a tie contractor for the I&GN Railroad.

According to history, Noah's headstone is incorrect. He was born in Lafayette County (Calhoun County was not founded until 1852) and born in 1844, not 1848. He was listed in Lafayette County 1850 Census as 6 years old, 1860 as 16 and Civil War Oath of Allegiance on June 12,1865, at age 20. If he had be born in 1848 this would have made him 14 years old when he enlisted in the Civil War.
