Declares His Boys Were Murdered.
Lafe, Ark., July 12, 1915
To the Editor:
I read an article in last week's Soliphone about the death of the Crow brothers that is misleading and partly untrue. I am the father of the Crow boys and am prompted to write this and ask you to publish it.
The oldest son, A.B. Crow, would have been thirty years of age next September. The younger son, Richard, was seventeen years old on November 9, 1914. The elder brother lived at Sellmeyer and had three children. Richard lived here with his parents near Lafe. Richard had gone to spend July 4 with his brother, and they went to Knobel to get some groceries and a jug of whisky. The whisky belonged to four people. I don't believe they would have opened the jug until the other parties were present. The jug was broken in a sack with some bread. They were either not drinking or were not asleep. The time was too short for them to have reached the sleeping stage of drunkenness. One report indicates there was an eye witness to the tragdey (sp)and that the engineer on the train did see them and stopped, or almost stopped, the train within a few feet of them, and while they were making efforts to get off the track he pulled the throttle open and struck them instantly. They had no chance to escape, if this is true, and I believe it is. The engineer could not help knowing he had killed them, and did not have humanity enough to stop. It is my opinion it was a willful, cold-blooded murder, and that the engineer should suffer for it to the extent of the law. Railroad men should be made to respect human life, as well as other people. I have the above report of an eye witness from a reliable source and I think it is true.
Yours truly,
G.D. Crow.




Asleep on Track; Two men killed
Crow Brothers Meet Horrible Death Near Knoble Late Last Saturday Night.
Two men named Crow, one thirty years of age and the other eighteen, were literally cut to pieces by the northbound Iron Mountain passenger train two miles south of Knobel about eleven forty-five Saturday night. The men, who were brothers, were asleep on the track. It is said the engineer on the passenger train did not see them and knew nothing of having killed the men until his train reached Knobel. The faithful dog, belonging to the elder Crow, was also killed, and a jug of whisky from which the brothers had evidently taken too frequent libations, was smashed by the train.
Cal Broadway of Jonesboro, claim agent for the Iron Mountain, spent yesterday in the vicinity of the tragedy gathering the facts. It is understood the men resided at Sellmeyer where the elder Crow worked a small farm. The younger brother resided with him. They spent much of their time hunting for the market. It is said the brothers went to Knobel Saturday night and got a jug of whisky they had ordered from Poplar Blugg. The supposition is they drank freely from the jug on their return home, and that they became drowsy from the effects of the intoxicants and lay down on the track to sleep. The dog and the jug were evidently close to the men when the train passed over them.
The elder Crow was married and leaves a wife and six children.

She was the daughter of John Henry Crow and his wife Martha Jane Shell Crow. Dovil Crow was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee where she lived until the early 1900's when her father died and her mother and she moved to Lincoln, Talladega County, Alabama. Her mother later remarried to Henry Glidewell. Dovil Crow was married to Henry Marshall Moon in about 1910 and they lived together for a while before he left her and seems to have wound up in Texas later. Henry & Martha Glidewell and Dovil Crow (Moon) later moved to the cotton mill village at Pell City where they remained the rest of their lives. They are all buried at Blue Eye Cemetery at Lincoln, Talladega County, Alabama.

My great aunt told me that he healed many men in his unit who were very ill and would've possibly died had it not been for him.
I do not have much information on him and his father, John Crow, but I would love to know more and keep in touch with any family we have out there through the Crows.
Please contact me if you can help with this information.
thank you.
