BURLEY J. HALFORD

RUTHERFORD REGISTER

Rutherford, Gibson Co., TN_____ October 1923

A very unusual thing occured a few miles west of Rutherford on Friday of last week when three people fell dead during the day, not but a few miles apart. The first was Burly Halford, 29 years of age and married. Mr. Halford was helping to butcher some shoats early in the morning, and on sticking one of the hogs, fainted at the sight of the blood, something we learn he was subject to. He revived, but a few minutes later expired.

THE TENNESSEAN

Nashville, Davidson Co., TNTuesday, 25 February 2003

ALTO [Franklin Co.], Tenn.They were two peas in a pod, little Corey Alford and his grandpa.

When people in this valley community saw Alvin Jackson driving down the local back roads, his 4-year-old riding partner was often with him.

A short ride on Sunday afternoon was their last. By sundown that day the chubby-cheeked little boy was dead from an attack by two dogs. He will be buried tomorrow.

The fatal attack occurred at the home of Claude W. Henley on Old Alto Highway.

The boys grandfather is employed on Mr. Henleys farm. The grandfather went there to turn in his hours and pick up a paycheck, said Investigator Robert Campbell of the Franklin County Sheriffs Department.

The boy went inside the Henley home with his grandfather, but a short time later he left the house and walked into the back yard.

The boy snuck out, and they didnt notice him, but soon after they heard what was going on outside, Campbell said.

In the back yard, Corey met Henleys two dogs, a Rottweiler and a Rottweiler mixture.

We dont know how it started, Campbell said.

But the ending is painfully clear. In an attack that lasted only a minute or two, the sheriffs investigator said, the dogs bit the boy multiple times, on the neck, face, arms and legs.

The two men ran from the house and pulled the dogs off the boy, and he was rushed to Southern Tennessee Medical Center in Winchester. About an hour later, he was taken by air ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died.

The dogs, which had never been a source of complaints before, were put to sleep after the attack. Their cadavers will be tested for rabies, the officer noted.

Meanwhile, the small Alto community has been shocked by the dog mauling.

Gladys Rose, owner of Roses Grocery, frequently saw Corey and his grandfather. Her country store was a place for them to get a snack.

Hed always wave to me and say, Bye, Miss Rose,  she said.

Authorities said no criminal charges have been filed, but the investigation is continuing. Family members question why two large dogs such as Henleys were not in a fenced yard.

I think they probably should have been, said Coreys aunt, Mary Harvill of Manchester. She added: Ive never known Corey to provoke a dog, ever.

The boys uncle, Thomas Scott Alford of Tullahoma, called Corey a quiet little boy, never one to get into mischief.

Funeral services will be at 3 p.m. tomorrow at Manchester Funeral Home.

The little boy is also survived by his parents, Jerry Wayne and Katherine Ann Alford of Hillsboro, two teenage brothers, Jimmy Earl McClure and Tony Ray McClure of Decherd, and an older sister, Ruthie Arnold of Manchester.
