The Anderson Intelligencer
Tuesday, 18 September, 1860

         As the excursion train on the Blue Ridge Railroad
       was returning from Sandy Springs at six o'clock on
       Saturday afternoon last, a negro named CYRUS, the
       property of Mr. A. CAMPBELL, of Pendleton, met his
       death under the following circumstances: He was a
       brakeman on the train, upon a box car, and was about
       rising from his seat just before the train passed 
       under a bridge, 7 miles from this place, when, be-
       fore he could take warning from another negro upon
       an adjoining car, the bridge struck the back of his
       head, killing him almost instantly. The train was
       stopped immediately, and before we could reach the
       car from the platform, (two cars in front,) the 
       pulsations of life were gone. In inquest was held
       over the body that night, and a verdict rendered in
       accordance with the above facts. No censure can be
       attached to any one for the unfortunate accident.
