Wm. L. Hadley Killed by
Train Near Pilot Knob
Nov 27, 1941
     Wm. L. Hadley, retired farmer and citizen of Gallatin, was found dead near the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks, about a mile south of the Pilot Knob station early Sunday morning. The engineer of the L.&N. northbound freight No. 38 discovered a man lying on the right-of-way and reported the incident to the section foreman, Wheeler, a Pilot Knob. Mr. Wheeler notified Mr. Watkins, Track Superintendent, at Gallatin. Officers were notified and L. C. Guild, R. G. Guthrie and George Harrison were sent to investigate. The officers decided the evidence of death by a train was so evident that an inquest was not held. It was evident Mr. Hadley was killed by a northbound train.
     Mr. Hadley left his home on North Water Street late Saturday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, to go to the grocery. He was seen by various people in sections of the city and last seen about 5 o'clock between Young's Store and the Ice Plant. Evidently he walked down the railroad tracks to Pilot Knob.
     The deceased was 85 years of age and was the son of Wm. Hadley, who lived near Fountain Head. The deceased lived near South Tunnel until he purchased a farm near Pilot Knob several years ago. He later moved to Gallatin and lived on West Main Street until he moved to his present residence. He was a member of the Church of Christ. Funeral services were held at Alexander Funeral Home on West Main Street, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Arthur Rutledge, Sr. Burial was in the Gallatin Cemetery.

Mrs. Lemuel H. Strength
     Before her marriage which was a recent event, Mrs. Strength was Miss Mary Frances Brown. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin A. Brown. Mrs. F. Cheek Poisoned Bride of Few Days Swallows Poison By Mistake, it Is Alleged. Special Dispatch to The American. Columbia, Tenn., June 27. - Mrs. Felix Cheek, nee Mabel Claire Ellis, aged 22, who was married in Nashville last Wednesday, died here at 3:30 o'clock this morning, from poison.
     Mrs. Cheek and her husband were en route to Columbia when she asked for a drink of water. The water was brought by Mr. Cheek, and she was seen to put something in the glass. In a moment she cried out that she believed she was poisoned. As soon as the train arrived here she was conveyed to a hotel, but died, despite the hard work of several physicians.
     Mrs. Cheek made the following statement soon after she reached this city:
     "When I left home I thought I had got a bottle of tonic I had been taking and slipped it into my satchel. We had the house disinfected in the spring and had used a mixture of carbolic acid, arsenic, etc., which was very poisonous, and in reaching for my bottle I got this one and did not know it. I never knew it until I swallowed the stuff, and could not tell what it was I had taken, for I became unconscious. I never had any intention of committing suicide. I was perfectly happy in my marriage, and wanted so bad to live."
