They were visiting family in Flowery Branch, GA when the infant suddenly became sick and died. At that time, there were laws that stated people had to be buried the next day. He took the infant and put him in a pine box for the trip back to Oconee County. He went out that night with a lantern to flag down the train. The conductor wouldn't wait for Jane to get to the tracks, and he left with just Claude and the baby on board. She missed the funeral of her baby.
