UNKNOWN YOUTH'S BODY EXHUMED AND IDENTIFIED
Unknown Youth’s Body
Exhumed; Identified Tuesday
Was Son of Mr. Cash
W. Boatwright of Bacon county – Left Home Only Few Days Prior to His Death
Many heavy hearts
were made lighter in Cartersville Tuesday morning when it was learned that the
body of the youth who met with a tragic death on the railroad near Allatoona
nearly a month ago, had been identified as Cloney Boatwright, 20-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Cash W. Boatwright, of Coffee, Ga.
Mr. Boatwright,
accompanied by two brothers, came up from their South Georgia home early
Tuesday morning. They requested Coroner
G.W. Hendricks to disinter the body because of a strong belief that it was his
son. Mr. Hendricks having already shown
a heartfelt interest in the case making desperate efforts toward identification
for several weeks, readily complied and upon completion of the task the body
was identified beyond question.
The young man came to
his death near Allatoona on May 9th.
The body, having no mark of identification upon it, laid in state at the
funeral parlors of Cummings-Long-Owen for three weeks while Messrs. Joe
Owen and Pope Weems made every effort to assist Mr. Hendricks in locating relatives.
At the end of this
time, after several hundred people had viewed the body, Cartersville citizens contributed
liberally for the burial of the youngster, and he was accorded an impressive
funeral about two weeks ago.
Mr. Boatwright, the
boy’s father told authorities here that his son had left home the second day of
May and not been heard from since. A
neighbor in Baxley, also had a boy missing.
When he learned of the tragic occurrence in Cartersville, he hastened up
to see, if by chance if it were his son.
The latter part of last week, Mr. Boatwright learned through this friend
of this boy, although he did not know it was Mr. Boatwright’s son. Mr. Boatwright promptly got in touch with
Coroner Hendricks Monday, and came up Tuesday with his two brothers and
identified the body.
Many in Cartersville
who were touched by the tragedy were made much happier by the identification,
for had the boy always remained unknown, it would have left a lasting sad
memory in the minds of them all.
The body was shipped
to Coffee Tuesday evening for burial in the family lot. Mr. Boatwright accompanied the remains, expressing
before he left a sincere appreciation for the kind interest shown, as well as
the laudable efforts of local authorities and Cummings-Long-Owen in trying to
identify his son. He carried with him
the heartfelt sympathy of many unknown friends.

UNKNOWN YOUTH DEAD OF INJURIES RECEIVED ON RAILROAD
Unknown Youth Met
Tragic Death Late Wednesday
Young White Man Found
Dead Of Injuries Received On Railroad Near Emerson – No Trace Found of
Relatives
An intensive effort
is being made on the part of local authorities to find the identity of an
unknown young white man who was found dead early Thursday morning of injuries
apparently received from a train sometime Wednesday night. The boy is estimated to be about 14 or 15
years old, but no clues or papers were found on his badly mangled body
pertaining to his identity.
The youngster is
about five feet, four inches tall, has dark brown hair and blue eyes. His face and neck are covered with a wealth
of freckles, and his only possessions included a home-made horseshoe nail ring
and a miniature photograph of a baby girl about three years old. He was wearing a pair of trousers of
blue-gray checked material, boots and two shirts, one of which was blue and the
other brown, over which he wore a brown suede jacket.
The body was
discovered Thursday morning by a Southbound freight train crew, who came on to
Cartersville and reported seeing the body at 7:35.
Coroner Hendricks was
summoned and hurried to the scene later ordering the body transferred to
Cummings – Long – Owen funeral parlors where a coroner’s jury composed of Dr.
Stanford as foreman, Messrs. W.D. Ross, L.R. Brown, J.B. Lewis, Smith Mansfield
and C.G. Darnell who gave the following decision:
"The young man met his death by falling from a freight train sometime Wednesday night or Thursday morning.”
An appeal was
immediately made to Rome and Atlanta broadcasting stations to seek relatives of
the young man and as The Tribune News went to press, Knoxville, Tenn.,
authorities were investigating the disappearance of a boy answering the
description of the particular youngster.
It is thought that he
had been traveling only a short time, since his clothes were not especially
soiled or had the appearance of being travel worn.
