Vernon Register News ran the following article: KILLED BY A TRAIN S. R. Yearwood Meets Death In Evansville Saturday Victim Was Formerly a Resident of this City and will be Brought Here for Burial Samuel R. Yearwood, aged 87, was killed in Evansville, by a train on the Evansville Terre Haute railroad. He had stooped down to pick up some object lying on the tracks, and did not realize the closeness of the approaching train in time to get out of the way. The pilot of the engine struck him in the head, rendering him unconscious and he died about an hour later, but did not regain consciousness. He was a crossing flagman in Evansville for the L N railroad. Mr. Yearwood was born in Tennessee, but made this city his home for many years. Three brothers, Wm. F. and J. M. Yearwood, of this city, and A. L. Yearwood, of Evansville, together with a widow and seven children survive. He was a soldier in the Confederate Army and served several years for the cause he espoused. During his term of service he made an excellent record as a soldier. Religiously he clung to the Baptist faith. The body will be brought here Tuesday morning, on the L N train, and taken directly to Sursa cemetery, where a funeral service will be conducted by Rev. W. L. Dorgan. February 27, 1911 Mt. Vernon Register News
