According to the following source, Benjamin "Ben" CARLOCK's son Henry
Sylvester CARLOCK d. in an "accident," July, 1922:

titled "Re: Henry Sylvester Carlock,"

If either Ben and Henry were killed in the same "accident" or the train
accident which you have heard about was in reference to Henry instead of
Ben, you may want to narrow your search to July 1922 newspaper articles.
Please let me know if you find anything.

Edie:
I am forwarding your e-mail to the CARLOCK mailing list to help you
possibly
connect with other individuals researching this same branch of the
family, as you mentioned in your e-mail.
Based on the information you provided, I was able to locate Lena, Dicey,
Ben, and
their families on the 1900 census for Knoxville, Franklin Co., MS.
I also located Ben's brother Robert and his family living near these same
families.
Ben's older brother whom you mention marrying Sarah Catherine "Kate"
MONTGOMERY was apparently Ransom G. CARLOCK who m. Catherine MONTGOMERY,
July 30, 1862, Franklin Co., MS. I do not yet have a death date for Ransom,
but it would appear that he probably died prior to 1871, when Ben and
Catherine's daughter Dicey was born. Based on the timeframe, it is possible
that Ransom could have been a Civil War fatality.
I attempted unsuccessfully to find Ben and his family on the 1880 census
to confirm
the names of his children. I am also unable to confirm at this
time whether or not Ben was killed by being hit by a train.
You mentioned Lena's daughter. Any additional information that you may
wish to
provide with regard to Lena and her descendants would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi Susan,
I have seen your name and research in several places online and on
Carlock
message board, and am wondering if you might be able to help me
connect with someone interested in the family of Lena Carlock Shoemaker.
Lena was daughter of Ben Carlock and Sarah Catherine "Kate" Montgomery,
who was married first to Ben's older brother. I saw a picture of Lena with
her brother Henry, on the blueangel website. I think he must be who Lena's
daughter called Uncle Bud--she named Aunt Dicey, Martha Jane, and Uncle Bud,
as Lena's siblings. The histories I have seen online, mention Dicey and
Henry as children of Ben and Sarah, but not Lena! Lena and Martin Shoemaker
were living in the same neighborhood with Dicey Norris, and Ben Carlock, in
1900.
Lena's daughter also told us that Ben Carlock died when he was hit by a
train. I would love to be able to corroborate/document that.
Hoping to hear from you,
Edie Rudolph
