KILLED BY TRAIN
Mr. John M. Brewer Meets

on Railroad Tracks
Mr. John M. Brewer, an aged citizen
of Marietta, was killed by a south
bound freight train of the Western and
Atlantic railroad one mile south of the
depot in this city Sunday morning at
seven o’clock,
At the time of the deplorable homi
cide, Mr, Brewer was on his way to the
plant oi the Glover Machine Works,
where he was to act in the capacity of
watchman for the day. Heapproached
the raiiroad from the west, and had
ascended the steps leading to the
tracks at a point opposite the Glover
company’s works. A freight train
had just passed, and another was in
sight, following the first. When this
second train passed, he undertook to
g 0 across, and was struck by the
engine pulling the third section of
the same schedule. It is stated by his
associates that usually only two trains
were run on this schedule, and that' it
13 supposed Mr. Brewer for this reason
was not on the lookout for a third.
The unfortunate man was killed in
stantly, his body being thrown from
the track.
Mr. Brewer had been a resident of
Marietta only three years, moving here
from Elberton, and made his home
with his daughter, Mrs. John M.
Warren. He was seventy-five years
of age, a Mason, a Confederate veteran
and member of the Methodist church,
He served throughout the war in the
Army of Virginia and was lieutenant
of his company. He was at one time
sheriff; of Elbert county, serving two
terms, and was a brave and efficient
officer.
Mr. Brewer, during the last half of
the war, was in the seventh Georgia
cavalry, and was in the same command
with Messrs. Bolan Glover and Chuck
Anderson, both of whom bear testimo-

Though a citizen of Cobb but a short
while, Mr. Brewer had many friends
in the county, and the news of his
tragic death will be received with gen
uine regret.
Besides his daughter, Mrs. John M.
Warren, Mr. Brewer is survived by two
other children, Col. H. J. Brewer, of
Elberton, and Mrs. T. 8. Jones, of
Elbert county.
The remains were conveyed to El
berton Monday, accompanied by Miss
Mary Warren, a grand-daughter, and
Mr. L. H. Turner, a nephew, where the
funeral services and interment occur
