Obituary: The Pulaski Citizen Thursday, 14 Jul 1898 "Pisgah" by Theo
Quite a sad death occurred near here Wednesday morning. Mr. Jim Bearden, after eating breakfast, as usual, started to work. On crossing a bridge near the house he was seized with a hard seizure and fell into the water on his face, and although the water was very shallow, he was drowned before any one discovered him.

James Bearden, an epileptic, started to the thresher one day last week when he was seized with a fit, fell in the branch near Prof. Roy Collins' and was drowned. His father came on later going to the thresher and found him. We extend sympathy to the bereaved family.
