The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia: April 8, 1892 Two Good Citizens Fall Dead John Cauthen at Milner and W.F. Connally of Molena Pass Suddenly Away The town of Milner was much surprised last [?]day by the sudden death of John Cauthen, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this county. He was walking on the railroad tracks near his home, when the section hands saw him fall across one of the rails. On going to him it was found that life was extinct. The deceased leaves an honored family and a host of friends to mourn his sudden departure. William F. Connally Another sad and sudden death was that of our good friend W.F. Connally at Molena last Sunday. He had been walking over his farm and when he came to the house complaining of a hurting in his breast W.M. Griffin, a neighbor, called on him and while in conversation he noticed Connally in the act of falling and caught him. But he expired with another breath. No man in this county had more friends than Will Connally and he will be sadly missed in this section. He was one of the largest and most successful merchants of Molena, besides one of the best farmers. He was a bachelor of about 47 years, and was in good condition financially. Peace to his ashes!
