George W. Southers, a young man who was badly injured yesterday in a wreck three miles east of Santo, Texas, (Palo Pinto County) died January 28th, 1890 in Weatherford. He had been taken there for medical attention and his leg was amputated.
Mr. Southers was scheduled to have been married to Miss May Emmitt of Bloomington, Illinois and had made arrangements for a home in Fort Worth. After he was hurt he told his conductor, Mr. Smith, to write and tell Miss Emmitt he was badly hurt and could not recover, and that he was over with all his trials and troubles in this world.
He was a man of about 24 years of age, a sober and industrious young person, and his untimely death is deeply deplored by all who knew him. He will be buried at Gouldsboro, Louisiana, where his parents reside.
