A Horrible Accident, in Which Jim O�Read is Killed
Our whole town and community was shocked on Thursday morning when the news was made public that Jim O´Rear had been killed by the train at Flovilla during the previous night.  Mr. O´Rear had been flagging on Capt. Gignalliat´s gravel train for only about one month when the terrible accident occurred.   Previous to that time he had been the chief painter in J.R. Carmichael & Co´s Carriage Manufactory and becoming tired of the confinement of the paint shop took the position as flagman as above stated.
At the time he was killed he was passing from one coal car to another while the train was slowly moving, and missing his footing, fell between the cars and was crushed to death in an instant by the ponderous wheels.  His left hand was cut off and his breast terribly mangled.  His remains were brought to Jackson and buried in the city cemetery on Friday at 10 o´clock.  Rev. T. H. Timmons conducting the funeral rites.  He was the son of Mr. John O´Rear of this place and brother to Messrs. Will and Daniel O´Rear of Atlanta.  About one year ago he was married to Miss Claudie Falkner of Jasper County.   The Argus tenders to all the bereaved ones its sympathies.
(Middle Ga. Argus – Week of October 4, 1887)
