Seymour (IN) Daily Democrat, January 21, 1898, p. 3. DROWNED MAN IDENTIFIED Paoli, January 20-T. S. Cross of Houston, Ind., traveling salesman for Tripp Bros. Fertilizers of North Vernon, was drowned last night while attempting to cross French Lick Creek near Helix, six miles southwest of this place. The heavy rains had swollen the creek and the buggy in which he and a driver were seated was overturned and they were thrown into the stream. The driver saved himself, but Cross and two horses were drowned. The body was found this morning about a quarter of a mile from where the accident occurred, it being impossible to find it last night on account of the darkness. Mr. Cross' family and employers were telegraphed and will arrive here tonight to take charge of his body.
