MRS. J.W. ABBOTT
CLAIMED BY DEATH—Well Known Brunswick Woman Died Suddenly at Her Home in
New Town Yesterday Morning.
Many Brunswickians were shocked yesterday
morning when the announcement was made of the sudden death of
Mrs. John W. Abbott
which occurred at an early hour in the morning at her residence, 809 K
street.
Mrs. Abbott
had not been well for several weeks, in fact she had not for a long time
enjoyed her usual good health but her condition was not thought to be
serious. Only Monday afternoon she visited a friend who is critically ill
at the city hospital and on returning home complained of feeling faint.
However, she rallied and retired, but later on Monday night she was the
victim of a rather severe hemorrhage, which however, passed away and she
spent the rest of the night comfortably. However, yesterday morning
shortly before three o’clock she was seized with another violent
hemorrhage, Drs. G.V. Cate
and J.W. Simmons
were called and administered to her sufferings but to no avail and at half
past three, she breathed her last.
Mrs. Abbott
was the second daughter of the late Capt.
and Mrs. Tobias Newman
and has resided in this city practically all of her life, having removed
here with her parents from Columbus, when she was a mere girl. She was
widely known, enjoyed a large circle of friends, with whom she was very
popular and was with her husband a devout member of the First Methodist
church and one of the most stalwart workers.
Besides her husband,
Mrs. Abbott is
survived by tow daughters, Mrs. R.H.
Rozier, of Augusta, who is already here
and Mrs. F.R. Meyers,
of Toledo, Ohio, who has been advised and who is enroute to the city.
She is also survived by several brothers
and sisters and other relatives in this city, who have the sincere
sympathy of a large number of friends.
The funeral will occur from the Frist
Methodist church at 10:30 o’clock this morning,
Rev. T.H. Thomson
officiating and the fallowing gentlemen acting as pallbearers:
T.J. Abbott,
J.E. Abbott,
C.V. Abbott,
A.C. Knight,
B. Padrosa
and M. Walsh.
The interment will occur in Palmetto cemetery.

MRS. J.W. ABBOTT
FUNERAL HELD ON SUNDAY MORNING
The funeral of
Mrs. J.W. Abbott
weas held from the First Methodist church
Thursday morning at 10:30 and was conducted by
Rev. T.H. Thompson,
pastor of the church. Mr. Thompson
was most impressive in his remarks touching the Christian life and
character of the deceased and dwelt at length upon her life. His talk was
from the 12th
chapter of Ecclessiasses [sic] and in which he spoke at length upon her
many acts of kindnesses to the ill and depressde [sic].
After the funeral sermon
Miss Margaret Hummell
sweetly sang “Face to Face,” and the choir rendered that beautiful hymn:
“Abide With Me; Fast Fall the Eventide.” And then all that was mortal of
this beloved woman was tenderly laid to rest in Palmetto cemetery, where
many sorrowing friends paid their last respects to her. Many beautiful
floral offerings attested the high esteem in which the deceased was held
by her scores of friends.

SUDDEN DEATH OF OLD SERVANT—For Many Years a Faithful
Servant in Family of Judge Crovatt.
There will be
genuine sorrow expressed by a very large number of white people when they learn
of the death of “Mammy
Sue,” who has been faithful servant in the
family of Judge
A.J. Crovatt for the past thirty years.
Everybody knew “Mammy
Sue”; she had been so identified
with the family of “her people” as to be one of them.
Born in Charleston, a slave,
Susan Abbot [sic], as she
was known, was brought to St. Simons Island and was the servant of the
Hazzard family there. At the close of the war,
Susan became a member
of the family of Col. C.L. Schlatter, the father of
Mrs.
A.J. Crovatt. After the marriage of
Miss Mary
Lee Schlatter to
Mr. A.J. Crovatt, “Mammy
Sue” went
with her young mistress and was the nurse of three children of
Judge and
Mrs.
Crovatt. As the widow of a soldier in the Federal Army
during the war, Mammy
Sue was awarded a pension by the
government. Though her husband fought on the Federal side,
Mammy Sue
staid [sic] with her “own people.”
Famous as a cook, devoted to the interests of those with whom she
had been so many years, the death of Mammy
Sue removes another of
the rare ante-bellum negroes.
Her illness was of only a few hours duration; the young daughter of
the house, Mary
Lee Crovatt, had gone to see the old woman
at ten o’clock to giver her a cup of tea; Mammy did not complain of being
ill, and had been about her usual duties all day yesterday. Though eighty years
of age, Mammy
Sue was remarkably active, and was in full control
of all her faculties. At one o’clock another of the servants heard the old
woman calling, and Miss
Crovatt and her brother went to the room
in the servants’’ house. When the door was opened,
Mammy Sue was
unconscious and died with(in) a few minutes. Four children survive,
Thomas
and Joseph Abbot and
Eliza Cuyler, all of whom live
on St. Simons. Another son, Randolph
Abbot, being in Charleston. The body will be carried to St. Simons where it will be interred tomorrow.

ABRAMS, Matilda (Borchardt)
The Brunswick News; Thursday 14 August 1902; pg. 1 col. 4
DEATH OF MRS. J.B. ABRAMS—Passed Away Last Night After a Long Illness
Mrs. Tillie B. Abrams, wife of
Joseph B. Abrams, died shortly
after nine o’clock last night at the residence of her parents,
Mr. and
Mrs. A. Borchardt, on Grant
Street.
Mrs. Abrams has been very ill for several months due to an acute
attack, of nervous prostration, superinduced by a complication of other
maladies. Some three months ago she was taken to St. Joseph’s Infirmary in
Atlanta, in the hope that the treatment of this well-known seat of
scientists would be conducive to her condition. However, the treatment was
in vain, and she gradually grew worse, and only a few weeks ago was
returned to Brunswick, every recourse at St. Joseph’s having been resorted
to in her behalf.
Mrs. Abrams was a woman of rare accomplishments and was gifted with
all of those social graces that make home and the fireside a joy forever.
In her untimely death, beside her parent’s and a number of sisters and
brothers, she leaves a devoted husband and three children,
Victor,
Frances Elizabeth
and
Mariam, to mourn her loss.
To those who have been deprived of those edifying influences of her gentle
tenderness, The News extends its deepest condolence, and indulges the hope
that the great Master Planner for this apparent hardship will gently touch
the refining fires of his inscrutiable [sic] will that somewhere in the
future may reflect a ray of light into the desolateness of the hearthstone
which has been made so sadly dark in the present hour.
The death of
Mrs. Abrams
came in the nature of a severe shock to the members of the family, from
which they have not yet recovered, and accordingly no funeral arrangements
have as yet been announced. Absent members of the family have been advised
of the sad bereavement, and the funeral will not occur until Friday
pending their arrival.
Mrs. Abrams was formerly
Miss
Tillie Borchardt; was born and raised in Brunswick, and was held in
high esteem by a large circle of friends. She was married to
Mr. Joseph B. Abrams in 1889, and was just 31 years old. The news of
her death will be a subject of universal sorrow among her many friends.

FUNERAL THIS MORNING—All That Is Mortal of Mrs. J.B. Abrams to be Laid
to Rest
The funeral of
Mrs. J.B.
Abrams, whose very sad death was chronicled in these columns
yesterday, will occur from the residence of
Mr. and
Mrs. A. Borchardt at nine o’clock this morning, conducted by
Rev. I.P. Mendes, of Savannah.
Few deaths in the history of this city have occasioned as much
genuine sorrow as has this one and throughout yesterday many floral
tributes were received at the home expressive of the love and esteem in
which the deceased was held by her countless friends in the city.
Among the absent members of the family who arrived last night to
attend the funeral were
Mrs. Dr.
Weixalbaum and
Mrs. Abrahams
of Savannah and
Mr. Mord Abrams
of [illegible] and
Mr. Samuel
Borchardt of Tampa.
The interment will occur in Oak grove cemetery, and the funeral
cortege will in all probability be one of the most imposing ever seen in
Brunswick.
The deceased from her very infancy has lived in this city and by
reason of her charming personality, sunny disposition and many womanly
graces had endeared herself to every one [sic] who knew her.
To those dear little motherless children and to that grief-stricken
husband, as well as heartbroken parents, brothers and sisters, The News
again tenders its truest sympathy in this very sad hour of their
bereavement and despair.

TWO MEN COLD IN
DEATH—FEARFUL WRECK ON THE EAST TENNESSEE NEAR BRUNSWICK—Engineer Douglass
and Fireman Ames Instantly Killed—Conductor Robinett Fatally Scalded and
Two Negroes Badly Hurt.
BRUNSWICK, July 21.—[Special.]—This morning near 12 o’clock a terrible
accident occurred on the East Tennessee road about four miles from the
city, by which two men were killed, three badly injured, one fatally, and
a passenger engine and four freight cars completely demolished.
THE
KILLED AND INJURED.
The
killed are:
Hostler GEO. DOUGLASS.
Fireman JOSEPH AMES.
The
injured are:
Yard Master ROBINETT.
Car
Cleaner A.J. ANDERSON.
DAN
SCOTT.
The
two latter are negroes.
The
news of the occurrence reached the city about 1 o’clock and spread like
wildfire. Agent
Ogg and
Conductor D.C.
Smith of the road were soon at
work making up a special train to dispatch to the scene of the disaster.
Your correspondent attempted to go out with the officials and
Drs. Dana and
Botford, road physicians, but
was denied permission to board the train. He was not to be foiled,
however, and securing a livery team drove to the four mile crossing.
A
SCENE NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
Walking back about 500 yards he came upon a scene not soon to be
forgotten. Across the track and lying on its side was engine No. 206, with
the left driving-wheels in the air and the smoke-stack buried some three
feet in the earth. Behind it, and three or four feet from the track, the
coal box was turned bottom up with a flat box car piled across.
TWO
MEN COLD IN DEATH.
Beneath these two men were cold in death. One, the engineer, lay beneath
the ponderous wheels of the engine and only his head and shoulders could
be seen through the debris.
A
few feet back lay the fireman, crushed and bleeding, though he had
evidently died from suffocation by the steam.
In
the woods just a few feet from the wreck another man lay on a stretcher
uttering fearful groans while the doctor was carefully bandaging the limbs
that were scorched and bleeding.
HIS
FLESH SLOUGHED OFF.
Even while he worked the flesh would slough from the bones on his lower
extremities. This was Yardmaster Robinett. The two bodies under the wreck were those of Engineer
George Douglass and Fireman
Joseph
Ames. The two negroes had been brought to town.
While the wounded man was being made as comfortable as was possible
wreckers were at work digging out the dead. This was at last accomplished,
and the special started back to Brunswick with hits ghastly load.
Facts were hard to learn in regard to the cause of the accident, but as
near as can be obtained are as follows:
CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
The
track from the four-mile crossing, the scene of the disaster, to town, is
laid with chair-iron rails, so-called on account of the peculiar clamp
with which they are fastened to the track. The engine was being backed to
town tender forward, with seven flat cars attached. One of the chairs was
broken, and this caused the tender to climb the rails. This rarely happens
when the engine is going forward, as the heavy pressure of it keeps the
rails down, but the tender being forward and very light, jumped on top of
the rails and from there to the ties.
THE
TRACK WAS ROUGH.
Another reason was given for the accident is that the track was rough and
the swaying of the water in the tank over-balanced the tender, which had
nothing in front of it to support it on the track. Three engines were at
the crossing coaling up when the accident occurred. As No. 206 pulled down
the East Tennessee track, No. 14, Engineer
Grubb, and No. 19, Engineer
Simmons, were on the Brunswick and Western track headed for town. When
the accident occurred Engineer
Grubb saw it and, as engine 19 was the most convenient, sent it to
learn the particulars. Grubb
pulled out for town and notified the officials.
Simmons reached the scene and
his fireman, Ed
Owens, hastened to the injured.
AMES DIED PRAYING.
Ames was still alive and was
praying. He called Owens and
requested him to tell his mother that he tried to die a Christian. He
commenced praying after he spoke those words and died in a few minutes
after with prayers on his lips.
Douglass never uttered a word
after he fell, having evidently died immediately.
John
Jacobs (colored) was on the
last car when the accident occurred and, happening to see the tender leap
the track, sprang from his seat. When he recovered from the fall he saw
Yardmaster Robinett running
through the woods. He caught him, but
Robinett implored him to leave
him and help the men under the engine.
“MY
POOR BOYS.”
His
first thought was for them, and he often asked for them, muttering as he
did so:
“My
poor boys, my poor boys.”
A
sad feature of Robinett’s case
is the fact that he was doing conductor duty for Conductor
Smith, his room mate, who asked
him to work for him to-day. His case to-night was pronounced hopeless. All
the white men are single.
No
inquest was held, as it was not thought necessary.
[Robinette died later that same night from his injuries; his wife
lived in DesMoines, Iowa where his remains were taken—ALH]

COULDN’T STAND HER SON’S DEATH—MRS. AMES, UNCONSCIOUS
SINCE HER SON DIED PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY
When George W. Ames
passed away at his home on Oglethorpe street Tuesday night shortly after 8
o’clock, little did the three grieving brothers and one sister think that
the Grim Reaper would deprive them of their mother also before the corps
[sic] of the dead brother had been placed in the grave.
When Mr. Ames passed
away, his mother Mrs. Mary Ames,
aged 56, who had faithfully nursed her son during his long illness,
completely collapsed. It was more than she could stand, and as soon as it
was announced that her son was dead, she fainted, and from that moment
until her death, was in an unconscious condition. Members of the family
and friends thought she was suffering only temporarily, but she continued
in the same condition all during the night. Yesterday morning a physician
was summoned and he at once state that
Mrs. Ames was in a dying condition and a few minutes later she
passed away without ever regaining consciousness.
Both mother and son will be buried today. The double funeral will
occur from the Frist Baptist church at 10 o’clock,
Rev. J.E. Sammons officiating.
The interment will be in Palmetto Cemetery.

ANDERSON, Albert Osgood (Capt.)
The Brunswick News; Monday 23 April 1934; pg. 8 col. 2
CAPT. ANDERSON,
BRUNSWICK PILOT, DIED YESTERDAY
Captain
Albert
O. Anderson, well known and popular pilot on the
Brunswick
bar and a resident of Brunswick all of his
life, died at the City Hospital early Sunday morning. He had
been in a critical condition for several days, hope having been abandoned
for his recovery two days before he passed away.
Capt.
Anderson had been ill for the
past several weeks, but not until two weeks ago did his condition become
serious. He was removed to the hospital last week for an operation, and
for a time it was thought it would prove successful, but his condition
later became serious and although everything possible was done for him it
was to no avail.
Born in Brunswick November 5, 1876,
Capt. Anderson had spent
his entire life here, and he was well known among an unusually large
number of friends. When a mere youth he served his apprenticeship on the
Brunswick bar aboard local pilot boats, but it was many years later before
he received his license, as the number of pilots was reduced shortly after
he became eligible to receive his license. For a quarter of century [sic]
he was engaged in the mercantile business, first being associated with his
father, the late W.A.O.
Anderson, and succeeding to the business after his father’s death.
He received his license as a pilot about ten years ago.
The
deceased was a member of the Brunswick lodge of Elks, he had been a member
of the Knights of Pythias for more than 25 years, and during his life he
had been associated with other organizations in Brunswick. He was a good
citizen, a true friend, and his passing will cause genuine sorrow among
his large number of friends.
Capt.
Anderson is survived by three
sisters, Mrs.
J.R. Barfield, of
Savannah; Miss
Bessie Anderson, and
Mrs.
S.W. Baker, of this city.
Funeral services were held from the residence, 1406 Union street, at 3:30
o’clock this afternoon, conducted by
Rev. Osgood
F. Cook, pastor of the First
Methodist church. The First Methodist church choir sang “Jesus Savior,
Pilot Me,” and “Crossing the Bar.”
Interment was in the family lot at Oak Grove cemetery, and the
impressive Elks funeral service was carried out at the cemetery. The
funeral was in charge of Mortician Edo Miller. The pallbearers were:
Capt.
S.A. Brockington, Capt.
Walter
Brockington, Capt.
Eugene
Tabbott, all pilots; Otis

DEATH OF MR. WM. H. ANDERSON’S
CHILDREN
It is our sad duty
to chronicle, this week, the death of two children of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Anderson, our neighbors. Little Lee died Sunday morning last, at
four o’clock, and just forty-eight hours later little Johnnie breathed
his last. The little ones had been ailing several days, but no fears of
immediate danger were entertained. Simple remedies failing to cure, a doctor was
summoned, but too late to render aid, as the dread disease (diphtheria) had
already carried the little sufferers beyond the point where recovery was
possible. Two little graves in Oak Grove cemetery are all that is left the
bereaved parents. May an all-wise God comfort them in their sad bereavement.

G.F. ANDERSON DEAD—After Lingering Illness Well Known Citizen Passed
Away on Sunday
Gustavus Friedlander Anderson, 31 years of age and one of the most
prominent young men of the city, died at the home of his mother-in-law,
Mrs. J.B. Southard, shortly
after 7 o’clock Sunday morning. Mr.
Anderson was a Brunswickian to the manor, having spent his entire life
in this city. He was the second son of
Mrs. W.A. Anderson and for
thirteen years was connected with the Mutual Light & Water company,
serving in various positions, having reached the very responsible one of
cashier and auditor, which he held for several years prior to his illness.
The deceased was married some seven years ago to
Miss Annie Laurie Southard of
this city, to that union one little son being born, which succumbed to
typhoid fever about nine months ago. Grieved beyond expression at the
sudden illness and death of his son,
Mr. Anderson was himself stricken and very rapidly consumption
developed. All that physicians could do was resorted to and last summer,
accompanied by Mrs. Anderson,
he was removed to Asheville in the hope that the climate of the “land of
the sky” would be beneficial to him. All in vain, however, and eminent
doctors pronounced his case a hopeless one, and he returned to the city
several weeks ago literally to die among those whom he loved best.
There was no better boy and later no better man than “Gus”
Anderson, as he was familiarly
known by his friends. True to every relationship in life, devoted to his
business affairs, a good churchman, a devoted husband and father, with
character, energy and ability, he combined those qualities that served to
make his an ideal citizenship.
To the grief-stricken widow, mother, sisters and brothers the
sympathy of the community goes out in liberal fashion. The funeral took
place from the First Methodist church yesterday afternoon,
Rev. W.H. Budd officiating, and
a large concourse of citizens attesting the popularity of the deceased,
attended. The presence of beautiful floral offerings and the members of
the local Lodge of Elks, of which
Mr. Anderson was a member, were also impressive. The pallbearers were
Messrs. Albert Fendig,
J.P. Brooks,
A.M. Way, C.M. Gowen,
J.G. Harvey, and
J.M. Armstrong.

DEATH OF MR. WM. H. ANDERSON’S
CHILDREN
It is our sad duty
to chronicle, this week, the death of two children of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Anderson, our neighbors. Little Lee died Sunday morning last, at
four o’clock, and just forty-eight hours later little Johnnie breathed
his last. The little ones had been ailing several days, but no fears of
immediate danger were entertained. Simple remedies failing to cure, a doctor was
summoned, but too late to render aid, as the dread disease (diphtheria) had
already carried the little sufferers beyond the point where recovery was
possible. Two little graves in Oak Grove cemetery are all that is left the
bereaved parents. May an all-wise God comfort them in their sad bereavement.

DEATH OF MRS. ANDERSON—Mrs.
Josephine Heard Anderson died at her home on First avenue at 9 o’clock
Sunday night. She had been confined to her bed for many months, and bore
her sufferings patiently. She was a member of the Baptist church and a
pure Christian woman. Saturday night, while known to be dying,
Mrs. Anderson rose up in her bed and began singing that beautiful
hymn, “Jesus Lover of My Soul.” Several ladies were present around the
death bed and joined in the song.
Mrs. Anderson sang alto in a clear, distinct voice. The scene was
indeed a touching one, and all of those who witnessed it shed tears.
Mrs. Anderson was born in Harris county, Ga., October 10, 1832, and
was the daughter of Wm. H. and
Elizabeth Heard. She married
the late Dr. L.P. Anderson in
July, 1852, and moved to Columbus. She leaves a daughter and two orphan
nephews, who were left in her charge during their infancy.
The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, and was attended by a
large concourse of friends. The services were conducted by
Rev. W.F. Lloyd, pastor of St.
Paul Methodist church, who attended her bedside frequently during her last
illness.

MRS. ANDERSON
PASSES TO REST—Estimable Woman passed Away Yesterday After a Short
Illness.
The
city was saddened yesterday morning by the tidings of the death of
Mrs.
Lizzie
Pearson Anderson, one of
its best-known, best-beloved and most prominent women.
Mrs.
Anderson was stricken suddenly
on New Year’s evening with general peritonitis, her attendant physicians
immediately warning the family that there was little hope of her recovery,
and for a week she has lingered at the point of death, suffering greatly,
yet bearing her affliction with Christian patience, until the end
yesterday morning, when death brought relief.
Mrs.
Anderson was the daughter of
Mr. and
Mrs. A.G.
Osgood and has lived in
Brunswick all her life. She was married in this city to
Mr. Wm. A.O.
Anderson, a prominent merchant
and from the union sprang an interesting family of children, who have
become useful citizens.
A
delightful wife, mother and homemaker,
Mrs.
Anderson was never too busy nor too engrossed in her own and her
family’s interests and cares, to take her part in all that meant the
welfare of her city or its people, nor to help others in their need. With
a happy suite and a tender word of encouraging sympathy for friend,
neighbor or for the stranger at the door, she was as a cooling spring in
the desert, and brought refreshment to many who were weak of heart and
mind and soul. In her church work particularly were her inspiring energy,
her unwearying [sic] zeal and her untiring labors most fruitful of
results; and even when on her deathbed, suffering sharp pangs of physical
pain, she sent for one of her co-laborers, and delivering up her books and
papers, charged her to continue the work she had helped to establish.
Every act of her life was in conformity to some text and she
carried out all her work with the truly beautiful humility which
characterized the earnest worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
Mrs.
Anderson was very interested in
the cause of temperance, and wrote many effective articles on the subject
for local and other papers. In this, as in everything else, she served
faithfully, but with modesty and humility, asking no recognition of her
efforts, but striving for the elevation of mankind.
So,
after a long life of consecrated devotion to duty, she has gone home; gone
while her days were still useful and pleasant, and before old age had laid
its withering hand upon her, to put an end to her great deeds. She has
completed and laid aside the garment of life, and put on the mantle of
immortality. With the term of human existence that God allotted her she
did her best, and made very moment county. And now she has simply gone
back; for, after all
“Our birth is
but a sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us, our life’s
star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar;
Not in
entire forgetfulness, nor yet in utter nakedness;
But trailing clouds
of glory do we come,
From God, who is our home.”
Mrs.
Anderson is survived by five
children, Messrs.
A.O. and Wm.
C. Anderson;
Mrs. J.C.
Garfield of Savannah;
Miss
Bessie Anderson and
Mrs.
S.W. Baker of this city;
and several grandchildren, and one sister,
Mrs.
Cora
Rowe.
To the bereaved family The News tenders a sincere personal
sympathy.
The
funeral will occur this afternoon at 3 o’clock from the First Methodist
church, Rev.
C.A.
Jackson officiating. The interment will be in Oak Grove cemetery.
The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers:
Dr. D.D. Atkinson,
E.L. Stephens,
J.J. Lott, B.F. Mann,
Dr. H.M. Branham and
W.H. Wood.

FUNERAL OF MRS.
ANDERSON—Large Concourse of People and Beautiful Flowers Mark Sad Affair.
The
funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Pearson
Anderson, whose very sad death has cast a gloom over a very wide
circle of friends, occurred at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
Rev. A.C. Jackson and
Rev. W.H. Chapman officiating.
A vast concourse of people filled to overflowing the spacious church and
in the great congregation there came friends and acquaintances from every
section of the city to attest their love and admiration for the
[illegible] good woman, who after a life full of years of usefulness has
been called to its last and eternal reward. The blossom-scented house of
God never looked more beautiful than it did yesterday afternoon and to
those, or to a large percentage of those attending the service, it
appeared as if the very presence of the dead [illegible] her permeated the
chancel rail, the altar and the flower bedecked pulpit.
A special choir consisting of Miss Fe Symons, Miss Jane
Dart and Messrs. R.E. Sherman
and Clinton Knight rendered
favorite hymns of the deceased, adding a sweet and solemn feature to an
occasion already full of pathos and gentle sympathy. The floral offerings
were simply beautiful, fairly covering from view the casket and speaking
to an eloquent silence of the love and esteem to which
Mrs. Anderson was held to
friends and acquaintances.
The
pallbearers were Dr. E.D. Atkinson,
Dr. H.M. Branham,
L.J. Lott,
E.L. Stephens, W.H. Ward, Jr.,
and B.F. Mann, all members of
the board of stewards of the First Methodist church, of which the deceased
was a devoted member and which she loved as it is given few mortals to
love their house of worship. The interment occurred in Oak Grove cemetery
and by the side of the good husband who preceded her six years ago, all
that was mortal of this [illegible] Brunswickan was tenderly laid to rest.
The
sympathy of the people of this city goes out in unmeasured fashion to the
members of the church in this hour of their sadness.

A VERY SAD DEATH—Unusual Features Mark the Passing Away of Little Osgood
Anderson
The death of little Osgood
Fendig Anderson, four-year-old son of
Mr. and
Mrs. G.F. Anderson, at their home on Dartmouth street at 10 o’clock
Sunday evening, is surrounded with a tinge of sorrow unusual as it is
pitiable. Little Osgood was
stricken ten days ago and the attending physician,
Dr. R.E.L. Burford, pronounced
it a case of scarlet fever. A consultation of physicians was later called
and the diagnosis of the case by
Dr. Burford was confirmed. Then followed the usual quarantine
regulations, which are harsh, but necessary steps in the interest of the
health of the community. The little sufferer fought bravely against the
malady with which he was afflicted, and everything possible was done for
his relief, but steadily he lost ground, the little life was gradually
ebbing away and Sunday evening, it flickered out. The seriousness of the
malady and the stern mandates of the quarantine law, made it impossible
for visitors to call at the
Anderson home, hence these grief-stricken parents, with only the aid
of a trained nurse, were forced to fight this awful battle alone. For the
same reasons, the authorities were compeled [sic] to order a private
funeral and yesterday afternoon a carriage hearing a little white casket,
the two devoted and broken-hearted parents, the nurse and the undertaker,
wended its way to Oak Grove cemetery. Here
Rev. W.H. Budd, of the First
Methodist church, joined the party and officiated. In this hour of darkest
gloom, made doubly so by these gruesome conditions,
Mr. and
Mrs. Anderson have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends, which
was beautifully expressed in the handsome lot of floral remembrances sent
to the house during the day.
The news joins with others in tendering to these sorely afflicted
parents its tenderest sympathy.

WM. ANDERSON PASSES TO REST—ONE OF BRUNSWICK’S PIONEER CITIZENS DIED
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING—THE FUNERAL OCCURS TODAY—Mr. Anderson Was One of
the Best Known Citizens in Brunswick. Spent His Entire Life in This City
William A.O. Anderson, one of Brunswick’s pioneer business men
passed away at his residence on Union street at 5 o’clock yesterday
morning after an illness covering a period of over twelve months.
The end was not unexpected, in fact the members of the family and
close friends well knew that it was nigh at hand and it came as tranquilly
as Whittier might have had in mind when he wrote his Thanotopsis[?].
Mr. Anderson suffered a nervous collapse some thirteen months ago,
and at that time abandoned the cares of business and sought his home in
the hope that such a life would restore his accustomed good health.
However, he failed gradually but none the less certainly and finally was
visited by paralysis, which superinduced by the debilities of an advanced
age, hastened to the coming of the Reaper. The passing of this well known
Brunswickian, who was truly the manor born, removes one of those
historical landmarks that served to connect the Brunswick of today, with
that of seventy-five years ago. Born on Fancy Bluff, Nov. 4, 1832, he came
to this city in his early manhood, he became associated with the firm of
G. Friedlander, at that time
the largest mercantile establishment in the city. A few years later he
became a member of the firm and finally succeeded to its ownership
conducting the business, which is located at the corner of Gloucester and
Oglethorpe streets with marked ability and success.
On September 15, 1869, Mr.
Anderson was wedded to Miss
Elizabeth P. Osgood and to that union six children were born, all of
whom together with Mrs. Anderson survive him. The children are
Mrs. J.R. Barfield of Savannah,
Miss Bessie Anderson, Mrs.
S.W. Baker and Messrs. A.O.
G.F. and
W.C. Anderson of this city.
Mr. Anderson was a good man in the very broadest construction of the
word, he was broad-minded and liberal in h is views, of a gentle and
charitable disposition, devoted to his family, a good friend and a man who
never failed to confer a favor and a smile. He has well rounded out the
seventy-six years of a splendid life and the love and devotion of his
family, the esteem of his friends and the good opinion of his fellow man
are noble heritages for any man to carry with him to the silence of the
tomb.
The funeral will occur from the First Methodists church at 10
o’clock this morning, Rev. Robert
Kerr officiating, the following gentlemen acting as pall-bearers,
Messrs. Duncan Wright, C.M.
Cowan, J.E. Moore,
E.C. Tupper,
J.B. Wright and G.A. Ralston.
To the grief-stricken members of the family the News extends its
deepest condolence and blends its sympathy with that of thousands of
Brunswickians who knew the deceased and loved him well.

FUNERAL OF MR. ANDERSON—Many Friends Paid Last Tribute to Popular
Brunswickian
The funeral of Mr. W.A.O.
Anderson occurred yesterday morning from the Methodist church and it
was one of the largest seen in Brunswick in some time. An unusually large
number of friends of this old and popular citizen followed the remains to
their last resting place in Oak Grove cemetery to pay a last respect.
The services were conducted by
Rev. Robert Kerr. At the church
a choir composed of Miss Tallulah
Fleming, Mrs. W.P. Greene,
and Messrs. R.E. and
George Sherman rendered very
sweetly the hymns, “Rock of Ages,” “I Would Not Live Always” and “No
Shadows Yonder.”
The floral offerings were beautiful, the handsome casket being
covered. Many beautiful wreaths were sent the family by admiring friend of
this pioneer and truly good citizen.

DEATH ENDED HIS PAIN—After Much Suffering Contractor W.H.
Anderson Passes Away.
Mr.
William
H. Anderson died Friday
at 6 p.m. at his residence on Mansfield street, after an illness of several
weeks.
Mr.
Anderson’s death was the result of an
abscess, from which he suffered much pain. For two days previous to his death,
the end was expected at any hour.
Mr.
Anderson spent the greater part of
his life in Brunswick. His field of work as a contractor has extended over Georgia and Florida,
and he has superintended the construction of many large buildings, among them
being the Brunswick
city hall. He was the owner of the valuable planing mill property at the corner
of Mansfield and Gloucester streets, this city, and had large
saw mill interests in this section of the state. He leaves a devoted wife and
three children, Mr.
William
Anderson, now a prominent contractor in Florida,
Mrs.
T.F. Winter and
Miss
Mary Anderson.
His
death will be deeply felt by a large circle of friends.

funeral will occur today at 2:30 p.m., from the First Methodist church,

NEGROES STILL
MISSING, CANOE FOUND IN RIVER
Will Holland,
negro caretaker on the Evelyn Plantation near the Broadfield section of
Glyn county, and a Brunswick negro boy,
Tommy Armstrong, 12 years of age, missing
since Wednesday afternoon, have not been found up to this afternoon,
Chief L.L. Godwin,
of the Glynn county police, reports.
Holland,
who has been caretaker for the plantation owned by the heirs of the late
E.DM. Strachan,
for a number of years, disappeared Wednesday when he and the
Armstrong boy
left the plantation in a canoe on a small creek on the property to
investigate shooting it is reported they heard in the back section of the
plantation.
Throughout yesterday at the request of
the Strachan
family and local office of the Strachan Shipping Company, county police
and members of the United States coast guard have searched the vicinity
for the negroes and so far their efforts have been futile. Late yesterday
afternoon the canoe in which the two negroes left the plantations was
found on the bank of the south stream of the Altamaha. It is believed that
both Holland
and Armstrong
met death by drowning, and parties are continuing the search for their
bodies.

NEGRO BOY’S BODY
FOUND YESTERDAY IN EVELYN CANAL
The body of
Tommie Armstrong,
12-year-old Brunswick negro boy, who was drowned in the Altamaha with his
uncle, William Harlan
[sic], on January 4, was found yesterday by
Malvin Moody,
a trapper.
The body of the boy was found lodged on a
stump on what is known as Evelyn canal, which is believed to have been
near the spot where the two negroes lost their lives when they left in a
small boat to investigate shooting heard near Evelyn. A search was made
for the bodies for several days after the two were supposed to have lost
their lives, but no trace of their bodies was found.
On January 22, the body of
Harlan was
found by a trapper near Friday Cap, which is about 11 miles from where the
body of the boy was found. Coroner J.D.
Baldwin, who conducted the inquest today,
expressed the belief the boy’s body was caught in the stump ear the scene
of the accident, while the body of his uncle floated out of the canal and
into the Altamaha. Rewards had been offered for recovery of both bodies.
A coroner’s jury after investigating the
case today, returned a verdict that
Armstrong came to his death by accidental
drowning. The same verdict was returned in the case of his uncle.

WOMAN HELD IN STAB DEATH OF HUSBAND
Patricia Ann Armstrong, 23, black female, 2206 Peachtree St., was
charged Thursday evening with the murder of her husband. She reportedly
told city police that the stabbing of
Lee James Armstrong at about
2:30 p.m. was an accident.
Although the long, pointed butcher knife his wife allegedly wielded
had penetrated his heart, the 26-year-old Brunswick man got in his car and
headed toward the hospital. Losing control, his car left the roadway and
came to rest behind 3329 Jekyll Ave., police said.
Armstrong did not bleed profusely from the knife wound police said,
and when found in his stalled car was not unconscious and was thought to
be an accident victim. He was not pronounced dead until about 5 p.m.,
officers said.
The knife reportedly penetrated the upper chest and the heart was
cut, but police said there were only small drops of blood in the kitchen
of the Armstrong’s house where the stabbing allegedly occurred.
The Armstrongs
reportedly have one small child.
Investigation of the incident was continued by
Sgt. W.E. Douglas and
Det. R.M. Tawney.

102-YEAR-OLD LOVES LIFE, INSPIRES OTHERS
By
CAROLYN O’QUINN; Community Life
Writer
It was her birthday and she was 102 years old. Friends and
neighbors had streamed in and out of Heritage Inn on St. Simons Island,
all day long Sunday to visit “Miss
Lucille” Armstrong.
Now she sat quietly in her chair amid her memories awaiting the
next visitor who would kiss her light brown cheek and tell her how good
she looked.
Although she spends some time in a wheelchair because of arthritis
in her right knee, her skin is as soft as a baby’s and her smile is as
sweet as ever.
Her may visitors came to wish her a happy birthday and to feel the
positive vibrations Mrs. Armstrong
radiates. Alert and attentive with a droll sense of humor, she does pretty
well with names except when the younger generation shows up looking
exactly like the first.
“There’s always a smile in there,” said a young woman in her early
20’s, indication Mrs. Armstrong’s
room. “You want to come to see her because she’s so sweet.”
She had come by not only to wish
Mrs. Armstrong many happy
returns of the day, but also to congratulate her on being honored by her
church at the celebration of its history.
She has been a member for 83 years and is the oldest member of the
129-year-old First African Baptist, Brunswick’s oldest black church.
Church members presented her with an engraved plaque in appreciation for
her years of service to the church in a special ceremony Sunday.
‘She’s sweet. It feels good to be around her,” said
Jackie Traeye, who has known
Mrs. Armstrong all her life.
“She has always been a positive influence on many people and especially to
the children of the church.
“I remember when I was a child,
Mrs. Armstrong would listen to
our Sunday School recitations. She would nod her head as we recited and if
we faltered, that head would just nod more emphatically, as if she could
pull us through it.
“She was always so kind to us and she has been an inspiration to a
great many people. It’s people like her that are the reason our church has
been so strong and lasted so long.”
Mrs. Armstrong was born Jan. 5, 1890, on Amherst Street in
Brunswick. An only child, her family moved to Washington D.C., where her
father, Joseph Ruffin, worked
in the U.S. Treasury Department. Her mother died when she was 8-years-old.
“From then on my father just took over and he always took care of
me,” she said. “He was a good man, they don’t make them like that
anymore.”
Her great-aunt, who lived in Brunswick in a big two-story house
across the street from Hall’s Funeral Home on Gloucester Street, asked
that she be allowed to come and live with her.
As a young girl, she often traveled on the train from Washington to
Brunswick and remembers the trips as a gentler time when train travel was
less hectic and more luxurious with lots of porters. “It was smooth
riding. I loved to ride the train,” she said.
Her school teacher in Brunswick was
Miss Ida Jones, who also played
the organ in the church. In Washington, she attended school through the
eighth grade.
She was in her teens in Frist African’s church choir when the choir
sailed to Jekyll Island on the Emmeline or Hessie to sing for the
millionaires. She remembers being introduced to the Rockefellers,
Carnegies and Vanderbilts at the Jekyll Island Club. “They made us so
welcome and we enjoyed the trip so much,” she said.
She and her late husband,
Henry Armstrong, reared their three children here. A homemaker, she
said she never had to work out of her home very much. Once she was a
sitter for five years with an elderly person in Washington.
And she did a lot of church work. “I used to bake, you know,” an
understatement for the hundreds of cakes she’s made over the years for
church socials and fund-raisers.
Her son, Everett, calls
her twice a week from his home in New York, and she often hears from her
daughter, Lottie, who lives in
St. Mary’s nursing home in California. Her eldest child,
Henry Armstrong, Jr. of Jekyll
Island, who is 81 and a deacon in the church, visits her every week. She
has five grandchildren and said she knows “most everybody.”
Mrs. Armstrong said she has never used alcohol or tobacco but she
does have one weakness. “I love to eat sweets,” she said with a grin. “You
see that box of candy there? Dr.
Inman’s wife brings me a box of candy every time she goes on a trip.”
The W.O. Inmans were neighbors
of hers when she lived on Jekyll Island with her son.
Why does she think she’s lived so long? “Just the good Lord’s good
to me, that’s all. All of them say ‘I’ll never live to be that old.’ I
tell them, that—you don’t know. Because I never thought I’d live to be
this age, either.”
She said she is enjoying her life at Heritage and that her health
is good, “so far as I know,” she quipped.

of suffering. Elsewhere is a tribute to her memory, published by a friend.
Advertiser & Appeal; Saturday 9 June 1883; pg. 7 col. 1
Farewell, dour friend! we meet no more!
Last night God’s angel, hovering o’er
Your weary sufferings, pitying brought
The blessed rest you longing sought.
As softly flowed the murmuring tide,
Your gentle spirit seemed to glide,
Freed from the hindering grasp of pain,
True tender hearts will miss your face,
Your quiet presence in your place,
Your patient faith that God knew best.
And as I may not hope to stand
Beside your grave, with loving hand
I leave this tribute. May your rest
Be calm and sweet upon His breast—
A compensation for the hours
Of trying anguish, when the powers
Of soul and body both were tried!
Oh, glad for you, at last to hid
Under the shadow of His wing!
At last to listen, as angels sing
Those songs of praise, so sweet and clean
Those rapturous strains you longed to hear!
Farewell, once more, beloved friend—
‘Tis hard to say it at the end
Of such long friendship as was ours.
To-day will many lovely flowers
By loving hands be entwined for you;
But no on with a love more true
Than mine will fragrant tribute lay,
Although I must be far away.
The Savannah Morning News (Savannah,

Miss Susan Armstrong, one of
the oldest inhabitants of the city, died last week at a ripe old
age—seventy-five I am told. She had been confined to her room for many
years, and was hardly conscious of the changes multiplying around her, as
new people and new faces came and went, but was attended in her last
moments by her lifetime friends of the old-time circles, a fine people who
are fast disappearing from our days.

Fort Valley. Aug 22—Fort Valley and community were shocked Friday
at noon to hear of the sudden death of
C.W. Arrowsmith, a prominent and
longtime resident of this place. Mr.
Arrowsmith sold his home on College
street and his brick store in which he ran a bakery for a number of years this
week and intended to move in a few days in another residence he owned here. He
came originally from England
and it was his intention to visit, with his wife, his old home in the mother
country in a short while. His wife and several children survive.
Mr.
Arrowsmith had driven in his car from
his store in the downtown section to Ganoville, a suburb, and stopped to take in
a passer-by when death overtook him. He was dead in a minute after being
stricken and friends carried his body to his home on College street.
The
funeral services and interment will take place Saturday and will be conducted by
the Rev.
W.F.
Quillian, of the Methodist church.

From The Jesup Sentinel—MRS. J.A.
ASPINWALL DEAD
Mrs. J.A.
Aspinwall departed this life Dec. 30, 1920.
Mrs.
Aspinwall was born in Appling County, Ga., about fifty-nine years
ago, although her exact age had been lost. She was married to
Mr.
John Aspinwall in the
year 1881, and to this union were born thirteen children, twelve of whom
survive her and mourn her loss. She united with
Bethel
Primitive
Baptist
Church at Screven, Ga.,
some years ago and had lived a true Christian life since that time.
She had been confined to her bed nearly two months and she realized
that her stay on earth was short, and said she was willing and ready to
go, so we feel sure that our loss is her eternal gain, for we believe that
she is only asleep in Jesus. But while we need her so much, we would not
call her back to this world of suffering, sorrow and affliction, and will
only try to meet her beyond this vale of tears.
May each one of you try to meet your dear mother and to follow the
foot prints of Jesus.
She leaves a host of friends besides her relatives to mourn her
loss.
"Her children mourn a loving mother.
And
her life companion dear;
May they comfort one another,
It
is for them we shed the tear.
"She has loved him long and well
Tho'
so hard to have her leave us,
Her joy is more than we can tell,"

MRS. S.C.
ATKINSON DEAD—She Passed Away in Atlanta Tuesday Night.
The
sad news of the death of Mrs. Samuel C. Atkinson was received in this city yesterday, having
occurred in Atlanta Thursday night.
Mrs. Atkinson had been
dangerously ill for several weeks, but was considered much better earlier
in the week.
A
sudden change for the worse ensued, however, and on Thursday night
surrounded by her sorrowing relatives she breathed her last. While not
entirely unexpected, her death was a great shock and a sad blow to those
who loved her, and who had hoped until the last that her life would be
spared.
Mrs. Atkinson leaves in her
immediate family her husband, Judge S.C. Atkinson, and one child,
Miss Nellie Atkinson. They have the sympathy of friends in their
sorrow.
The
remains will be brought here this morning on the Southern, accompanied by
Judge and
Mrs. Spencer R. Atkinson,
Judge S.C. Atkinson and
Miss Nellie Atkinson.
The
funeral will take place from the family residence, on Union street, at 3
o’clock this afternoon, Rev. Wyllys
Rede of St. Mark’s church conducting the services. The pallbearers
will be Messrs. H.F. Dunwody,
J.W. Bennett,
R.D. Meader, P.W. Fleming,
Howard Waff and
L.T. McKinnon.
The
remains will be interred in Oak Grove cemetery.
The
members of the family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
A TRIBUTE
In
the death of Mrs. Lila Screven
Atkinson Brunswick has sustained the loss of one of its most admirable
and lovable woman [sic], one whose brilliant mind and attainments, dignity
and beauty of character, and charm and sweetness of manner and disposition
made her beloved by all who knew her. A woman of broad charity, striking
individuality and warm and generous friendship, she embodied all the
graces of typical southern womanhood. The rare flower of a high
civilization—gentle and womanly, gracious and warmhearted—she was the
epitome of all that was good and lovable.
In social
circles her bright winning personality will be sadly missed. In charitable
affairs and church work her energy and cheerful, unselfish labors were
ever to be relied upon, and here too, her death leaves a mournful vacancy.
In her family most of all, where she wore the true woman’s rightful, that
of perfect wifehood and motherhood, she will be most sadly missed. The
aching void, where her bright presence once made the household joy and
happiness, and where despite her failing health, she strove to be all in
all to her loved ones, will never be filled, but the memory of her
perfections will live on to bless those who mourn for her.

DIED—In this city, on the morning of the 22d inst. George Butler
Aust, Esq. formerly of London, Eng., in the 38th year of
his age.
"He is now beyond the reach of friendship, or of hatred; nor can
his ashes be affected by censure, or by praise. May he rest in peace; and
if charity and good nature open not the benevolent lip, let the finger of
silence rest on the tongue of malevolence and detraction.

ILLNESS FATAL TO

William
Maxwell (Billie) Austin, popular
11-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs.
Joe Austin, who has been
critically ill at the City Hospital for the past several days, died early
last night.
This popular youth was taken ill late Wednesday night at the home of his
parents on Union street. He was carried to the hospital Friday, where he
underwent an appendix operation, and his condition at once became worse,
complications developing Sunday night, and in an effort to save the life
of the little fellow a second operation was performed yesterday, but it
was to no avail, and in the afternoon it was realized he had little or no
chance to recover.
Billie, as he was
affectionately known by his many little friends, was one of the most
popular students in Preparatory High school. He was in the sixth grade and
was one of the brightest as well as most conscientious scholars, and
announcements of his untimely death today cast a shadow of gloom over the
entire school, as well as the city generally.
Besides his parents the youth is survived by one sister,
Virginia, 14, four aunts,
Mrs.
Helen Cheatham, of
Atlanta; Miss
Jennie Franklin,
Mrs.
May Anderson and
Miss
Joe Franklin, of this
city.
Funeral services will be held from the First Methodist church Wednesday
afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, conducted by the pastor, the
Rev.
L.A. Harrell. Interment
will be in Oak Grove cemetery. Mortician Edo Miller is in charge of
arrangements.

following boys, selected from the junior board of stewards of the First
Methodist church of which Billie
was a member, will serve as pallbearers for their little playmate: Active,

Manoe, Jr.,
William Sheppard,

Henderson; honorary, Theodore
Rogers,

We
chronicle this week the death of Mr. George
W. Aymar, an old and respected
citizen of this city. For many years he has filled the position of city sexton
of Oak Grove Cemetery, officiating as such at the burial of many of our people. This sad rite had to be done in his case by others. In his death the city has
lost a good citizen, and his family an affectionate husband and father.
