MULLINS, Linn - The mournful tragedy at the Clear Creek bridge last Sunday morning has cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood. When the news spread that a night train had killed a man at the southend of the steel bridge no one thought that it was one of our best known young men who had been so mercilessly crushed and mangled by the passing trains but soon after daylight the mangled remains, which were scattered along and across north of the bridge for about 75 yards, were identified as being the body of Linn Mullins, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Mullins. Linn was 17 years of age and several theories have been advanced as to the primary cause of his death. It seems that he had been to church at Stony Point and returned to Johnson station where he waited with several others until after the south bound passenger train went through, which was shortly after midnight. Some time shortly after the train passed Linn started down the railroad towards home alone and no one at the station ever saw him alive again. The north bound passenger train came along about _:30 Sunday morning but the engineer discovered the body to late to avoid striking it and carrying it along some distance before he could stop his train. It is said that a north bound freight earlier in the morning was probably the train that killed him as it was judged from appearances that he had been dead some time before the passenger train came along, but no one knows how he came to be struck unless he had set down and went to sleep on the track. An inquest was held but nothing further than the above was developed. The bereaved parents have the entire sympathy of our people in their terrible affliction. The mangled fragments of poor Linn's body were laid to rest in the cemetery at Gearing's Chapel Sunday evening. (The Springdale News Aug 14, 1903) Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Mullins have the sympathy of their many friends in Springdale in their sorrow at the untimely death of their son, an account of which will be found in the Johnson news. The deceased was a cousin of Dr. Ellis, of this place, and a nephew of Dr. Stearns. (The Springdale Aug 14, 1903).

OXLEY, Minnie - Mrs. Minnie Oxley died Sunday night after a short illness and was interred at Shady Grove Cemetery yesterday evening. (The Springdale News April 24, 1903)
OXLEY, Mrs. - HEADLINE "In Memory of Mrs. Oxley". The passing of this beautiful young woman, from the toils of earth to the rest of heaven, reminds us again that death loves a shining mark. Four and twenty years measures the brief period of her earthly career. She lived so well that she seemed to have lived long. Most of her beautiful years were spent in Illinois. She was a girl of singular beauty, both in form and feature. Her raven hair and mild blue eyes bespoke a refined and delicate nature. Her affectionate and trusting heart made her a model daughter, a kind sister and mother, and a faithful wife. In her veins flowed gentle blood. To say or do a harsh thing gave her nights of solitude and sorrow. When a girl only fifteen years old she gave her heart to Christ in changeless love. Four years before her death she married to Mr. Sherman Oxley. She was buried at the Baptist Church, Shady Grove. (The Springdale News May 8, 1903)
