KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Yesterday afternoon, as a thunderstorm was coming up,
Mr. John Caffin and Mr. Tinker were passing down Monk st. Just as they arrived opposite
the Catholic Church they were both felled to the ground by an electric discharge
from the cloud overhead. The lightning appeared to have struck a large oak
across the street, first, and then glancing over, vented its fury on another
just where the gentlemen were. Then leaving these, sought its living prey.
Mr. Caffin was killed instantly, but Mr. Tinker, though severely shocked is
recovering. Several other parties, standing near, were stunned more or less by
the stroke. Another tree was struck a few moments later in Capt. Dure's yard,
throwing splinters several inches long into the house.
The above calamity, we believe, is sent as a warning to us all. Heed it.

THE DEATH OF MARTIN V. CALVIN
A famous Georgian, one who has occupied a
foremost position in the state for over half a century, has passed away in
the person of Martin V. Calvin, who died Sunday night at his home in
Marietta at the age of 85 years. He was carrying on at the time of his
death, being state statisticians for the department of agriculture at the
time.
Hardly any man in Georgia knew more of Georgia than did
Mr.
Calvin. He was always interested in public affairs, unselfish and
long-serving in his devotion to the work. When a comparatively young man
he took a leading part in educational development and was superintendent
of the Richmond county school system when the first free schools were
established under the law. He served Richmond county for more than a
score of years in the Georgia legislature.
His trend was toward agriculture and development from the
first and this coupled with his journalistic training made him a very
valuable man to the public. During the War Between the States he was a
correspondent of The Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist and he
afterwards became an editorial writer on The Chronicle. After he retired
from the political field he was made director of the Georgia Experiment
Station, at Griffin, filling that position from 1906 to 1913, then going
to the place he held at the time of his death.
In the passing of
Mr. Calvin Georgia loses one of its
distinguished citizens, one upon much honor had been conferred, two
universities—Emory and Georgia—bestowing degrees upon him. In the
Confederate army he won distinction by his service and he was badly
wounded at the battle at the battle of Franklin, Tenn. He was no less a
servant of the state in peace, than he was in war and he literally wore
himself out working for the community at large, but long years and a
well-ripened career was rounded out by him ere he crossed over the river.
FUNERAL YESTERDAY OF MARTIN CALVIN
Marietta, Ga., March 7.—The funeral of
Martin V. Calvin, prominent Georgian, who died here late Sunday night, was
conducted at the First Methodist church, this afternoon, Rev. S.R. Belk,
of Atlanta, and Rev. Emory and Rev. Robert Tatum, of Marietta officiating.
Marietta, Ga. March 7.—(AP)—Martin V. Calvin, 85, statistician
in the in the state department of agriculture, and well known as an
educator, died at his home here late Sunday night. He had been ill with
pneumonia about a week.
Mr. Calvin was credited with having established the first free
school in Augusta. He served as superintendent of the Richmond county
board of education and for 22 years represented that county in the general
assembly.
He directed the Georgia experiment station at Griffin from
1906 until 1913 when he resigned to become secretary of the Waycross
chamber of commerce. In 1917 he was elected president of the Georgia
Agricultural society and served in that capacity until 1919, when he
became associated with the agricultural department.
Emory university and the State university both conferred
degrees upon Mr. Calvin.
He was a senior at old Emory college when the war between the
states began. He served throughout the war and was severely wounded at
the battle of Franklin, Tenn.
While with the army
Mr. Calvin acted as correspondent for The
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist and when peace was effected he
became associated with that paper as an editorial writer.
What is now the Augusta free school was established by
Mr.
Calvin as the Peabody free school. He supported it generously and taught
classes at night. The idea of the Cenataph to Confederate dead located on
Greene street in Augusta is credited to him.
In 1916
Mr. Calvin was elected commander in chief of the
United Confederate Veterans. He and four other members of his college
class were honored by the new Emory university which conferred degrees on
them several years ago. Until his last illness Mr. Calvin was quite
active. His articles on agricultural topics were featured in the Atlanta
Journal.
Mr. Calvin is survived by a son, John E. Calvin, of Eau Gallie,
Fla.; three daughters, Mrs. E.M. Hafer, of Atlanta, and
Mrs. C.A. McLendon,

James B. Calvin. During his residence in Augusta he was a member of St. James Methodist
church.

HORRIBLE DEATH OF COLORED MAN—John Campbell Killed on the Southern Railway—THE

After Accident.
John Campbell, a deaf and dumb negro, employed by the Hilton & Dodge
Lumber Company, at the Cypress Mills in this city, was run over and killed by a
Southern Railway train last night.
Campbell, it seems, was drunk, and tried to crawl under the cars
just in front of Marks’ store on Bay street.
The cars were moving and caught him, dragging him several hundred
feet. His cries attracted attention and finally the train stopped and the man
was carried to his home on south Albany street where he died in a few minutes.

CAMPBELL, Nettie
Advertiser & Appeal; Saturday 6 October 1883; pg. 6 cols. 2 & 3
Mrs. Morgan, of Marion, Fla., arrived in our city last Tuesday, via
Waycross. She comes to mingle her tears with those of her family over their
recent sad afflictions. Mrs. Morgan is a daughter of Mrs. Spears, of this city,
consequently an aunt of Misses Maud Miller and
Nettie Campbell, whose deaths we
chronicle in this issue.
A
SADDENED HOUSEHOLD—A single visit of the angel of death to any individual home
brings with it sadness enough for a life-time, but when he comes twice in
forty-eight hours, and strikes down the fairest flowers, the stroke is almost
past endurance. Such a sad fate has befallen the home of our townsman, J.J.
Spears. On Friday night last the spirit of little Nettie
Campbell passed away,
and on the succeeding Sabbath she was followed by Miss Maud
Miller, both nieces
of Mr. Spears, and both living under his roof.
Miss Nettie’s parents are both
dead, and Miss Maud’s father, Mr. John W. Miller, has been dead a number of
years, but her mother still lives to mourn the loss of her only child, who only
a few days since enjoyed the blessings of full womanhood. That is indeed a sad
household, and one that calls forth the sympathy of all.

the child was taken with a terrible convulsion, from which it never recovered. It died in a very short while. Its disease was, no dout [sic], of the heart,

CHRISTIE, Alfred (Dr.)
The Brunswick News; Friday 19 April 1929; pg. 6 col. 3
DR.
ALFRED CHRISTIE PASSES AWAY TODAY—Well Known Brunswick Physician Dies Following
Cerebral Hemorrhage
Dr. Alfred Christie, 66, well known and popular Brunswick physician,
passed away at his home 1901 F street, at 8:30 o’clock this morning following a
cerebral hemorrhage at an early hour today.
Dr. Christie was taken ill at his office on Tuesday and was carried
to his home. His condition was not at that time considered serious but
complications developed and the hemorrhage this morning proved fatal.
Dr. Christie had practiced medicine in Brunswick for the past
thirty-two years. He graduated in 1897 at the Baltimore Physicians and Surgeons
college, and after practicing here for a few years he took a post graduate
course, abroad, attending college in both London and Edinburgh, Scotland. Returning here he resumed his practice and has been engaged in it continuously
ever since. Dr. Christie had a large practice, and during all of these years he
has devoted much of his time to charity work.
The deceased was first married in this city many years ago to
Miss Lee Treadwell, and by this union one son was born,
Alfred Christie, Jr., who is
now residing in Washington, D.C. Several years after the death of his first
wife he was married to Miss Ainslie Maxwell, of Savannah. He is survived by his
widow, his son and one adopted daughter, Miss Catherine
Christie.
Dr. Christie devoted much of his time to secret organizations and
has headed a number of the orders of which he was a member. He was a member of
the Masons, J.O.U.A.M., Oglethorpe lodge, Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows,
and also was worthy patron in the Marshes of Glynn chapter of the Eastern Star. He was one of the oldest Masons in this city and one of the few 32nd degree
members here.
The deceased was popular among an unusually large number of friends
throughout the city. He had in years past devoted much time to civic, secret
order and charity work, and he kept this interest for years, but his failing
health and heavy practice in recent years caused him to discontinue much of this
work.
The funeral will be held from the residence Sunday morning at 10:00
o’clock, Undertaker Edo Miller in charge, and Rev. Royal K. Tucker, of St.
Mark’s Episcopal church, conducting the service, assisted by Rev. O.P. Gilbert. The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Fred
Lockwood, Dr. H.M.
Branham, M.J. Welsh, J.H. Gilmore,
J.K. Cornelius, C.L. Elliot.
All members of lodges of which
Dr. Christie was a member are asked
to attend in a body as an honorary escort. The Masons and Eastern Star will
officiate at the grave.

DEATH OF CAPT. S.E. CLARK
We are pained to announce the death of
Capt.
S.E. Clark, one of the best pilots on our bar. Some time since he took the
schooner Young America (one of our pilot boats) to Jacksonville for repairs, and
was on his way home, having anchored for the night at Mayport mills, just inside
of St. John’s bar. Sometime during the night Capt. Clark was missing. Being
nearsighted it is supposed in walking the deck he struck the low railing and
fell overboard, and not being able to swim was drowned. Though not a hundred
yards from shore, his body at last accounts, had not been recovered. Capt.
Patterson went down on yesterday to make all search possible
for it. With all others in this community we deeply sympathize with his wife and
children in this heavy loss.

DEATH OF GEN. CLINCH.
It is with great regret, that we announce
the death, in this city, on the 28th ult. in the 64th
year of his age, of General DUNCAN
L. CLINCH. Gen. Clinch has filled
important stations in military and civil life, and always discharged his
duty with scrupulous fidelity. His worth as a man is acknowledged by all
who knew him. As a soldier he was admired no less for his intrepid
courage and gallantry than for his liberality and kindness towards his
men. His remains were conveyed by the Central Rail Road to Savannah, to
be forwarded from thence for Interment to his late residence in Camden
county. A detachment from the Macon Volunteers and Floyd Rifles
accompanied the body, as a military guard from this city, to Savannah.

DEATH OF GEN. CLINCH—The following
resolutions have been passed by both branches of the Georgia Legislature:
We have hard with pain and regret, of the death of
General Duncan L. Clinch, distinguished for many years as an officer of the army. He rendered valuable services, on every field of duty to which he was
assigned. Honor, gallantry, and a faithful discharge of every trust, were
his shining virtues. Virtues which go far to redeem the infirmities
incident to human nature, and gild his character with an imperishable
halo. When such a man dies, the country mourns in honor of his memory.
Be it therefore resolved, by the General Assembly, That while
in life General Clinch commanded our esteem, in death we mingle our
sympathies with his family, friends, and fellow citizens.
Be it further resolved That his Excellency the Governor be
requested to furnish his family with a copy of this preamble and
resolution.

counties, Clinch county, Georgia, was named for the grandfather of the deceased,
while Clinch plantation, near Woodbine, was for years the old family home.
The father of the deceased, who was also named
Duncan Lamont Clinch,
was a distinguished Georgian, having served in many positions of honor and
trust, while his grandfather, who also bore the same name, was a general with a
great war record.

friends who had been advised of the death of the former citizen after the
arrival of the body here. The services were conducted by Rev.
Royal K. Tucker,
of St. Mark’s Episcopal church.

NEGRO KILLED BY RUNAWAY HORSE—While Driving in Country
Walter Cohen Meets an Untimely Death.
A swarm of yellow jackets attacking a horse
indirectly caused the untimely death of Walter Cohen, a negro in the employ of
Henry E. Taylor near Southern Junction, last Tuesday afternoon.
The horse and buggy were hired by
J.W. Walker to inspect some timber
land near this city, and together with another man spent Tuesday morning on a
tour of inspection. While passing through some underbrush, the horse disturbed
a large nest of yellow jackets and made a desperate attempt to shake off his
tormentors. The frantic efforts of the animal caused the buggy to be smashed
against a tree and both men were thrown to the ground. Fortunately neither was
hurt.
Cohen, who saw the animal’s distress, made an attempt to quite the
horse, catching hold of the bridle. Hundreds of yellow jackets then began to
attack the negro and in his efforts to protect himself the horse turned and
kicked the negro in the stomach. He died in great agony several hours later.
Cohen was a faithful colored employee. He leaves a widow and six
young children. He was buried at Freedman’s Rest yesterday afternoon.

STEPHEN COLLINS DEAD—Telegraph & Messenger
Stephen
Collins, an old and estimable citizen of Macon, died in that
city on Thursday, after a lingering illness of pneumonia. Collins was elected
Mayor of Macon in 1854, and served in that office for two successive terms. He
was born in Washington county on November 30, 1809, and moved to Macon about
1830, since which time he had been engaged in many enterprises conducive to the
growth and prosperity of that city. Most prominent among them was his
connection with his two brothers, Robert and Charles
Collins, together with Elam Alexander, who contracted to build the Central Railroad from the Oconee river to
Macon at a period when the country was overwhelmed with the greatest financial
panic known to its history. In November, 1843, the road to Savannah was
completed and was famous for being “the longest railroad in the world owned by
one company.”
Mr.
Collins was once a citizen of this city, and always spoke in
the warmest terms of our people. He has been a reader of the ADVERTISER AND
APPEAL for years, and we shall be sorry to erase his name from our list.

Brunswick, Ga., July 16.—(Special.)—The funeral of
Miss Jeannette Colson, whose very sad death occurred yesterday morning, was held this morning
at 11 o’clock from the First Methodist church. Hundreds, whose hearts were
crushed by the untimely death of this greatly beloved young lady, crowded the

The services, which were beautiful and impressive, were conducted by
Rev. M.A. Morgan, of the First Methodist church; Rev. Osgood F. Cook, pastor of
the Grace church, Savannah, and Rev. J.O.A. Cook, of Waycross.
The white casket was almost hidden from view by the exquisite floral
offering which attested the great popularity of Miss Jeannette
Colson. She was
a great social favorite and also took an active part in all charitable
undertakings. She was always kind and loveable and every one admired her
greatly. The interment took place at Pretty Palmetto cemetery and tonight all
that is mortal of popular Miss Jeannette
Colson rests beneath a mountain of

CONEY, Edgar

EDGAR F. CONEY IS SUDDENLY STRICKEN BY HAND OF DEATH—PROMINENT BRUNSWICK
BUSINESS MAN EXPIRED AT HIS HOME LAST NIGHT—WAS POPULAR AND BELOVED.
Edgar F. Coney, that leading Brunswick business man and
splendid citizen is dead!
As well as usual yesterday [sic] and all day actively engaged in
his busy business life, the shades of the evening had hardly gathered ere
he was garnered into his Master’s storehouse!
The etire [sic] city was shocked at half past six o’clock yesterday
afternoon when the news of the sudden death of this well known and truly
popular citizen was announced.
Mr. Coney had not been a well man for several years and had
been suffering with a weak heart, a matter well known to the members of
his family and to his business associates. However, for several months he
had been improving and those near to him had hoped that his ailment had
been mastered. In the last week or ten days he had complained but little
of his trouble and only yesterday had planned a business trip to
Charleston last night. He was at his office in the Coney & Parker building
as usual yesterday morning; remained there until about ten o’clock and
then visited the Parker-Hensell Engineering company’s plant, in which he
was interested, and at both offices greeted those about him with a cheery
good morning.
The day’s business was closed as usual and at six o’clock Mr.
Coney left the office of the Coney & Parker company in his automobile,
accompanied by Captain J.H. Leo, who was to have accompanied him to
Charleston last night, whom he drove to his home in New Town. He reached
his own home at about six thirty o’cock [sic] and on entering advised
Mrs. Coney that he had never felt just as he did at the moment. He
began to sink and expired so suddenly that Mrs. Coney scarcely
realized what had happened. She screamed for help and Dr. H.M. Branham,
who lives just in the rear of the Coney home on Union street,
responded only to find that Mr. Coney was dead.
Mr. Coney came to Brunswick in 1880 and has resided here
constantly since that time. He was born in Wilmington, N.C., February 1
1857, and was accordingly very near 59 years old.
He has always been a prominent figure in he [sic] business affairs
of the community and even in his young days assumed a commanding position
both from a business and social point of view. He was married to Miss
Martha Dillon, daughter of the late Judge and Mrs. D.J.
Dillon, on December 12, 1882, and to that union three sons have been
born, Buford, 29 years old, of Sanford, Fla.; Fairchild, 26,
of the same place, and DeVoe 22, now living in Bristol, Tenn.
In 1887 the firm of Coney & Parker was formed consisting of the
deceased and William F. Parker, coal and wood dealers and tugboat
owners; the business was later chartered under the firm name of the Coney
& Parker company, of which Mr. Coney was president. He was also
treasurer of the Parker-Hensell Engineering company and was a director in
the National Bank of Brunswick. He was interested in the celery industry
in Sanford, Fla., has always led a very active business life and was one
of those progressive, yet conservative, business men who have made and are
making the South.
Genial, jovial and always approachable, Mr. Coney endeared
himself to all of those he came in contact and it is doubtful if there was
a more highly-esteemed citizen in all of Brunswick. He was a consistent
member of St. Mark’s Episcopal church and was identified with other
organizations in the city.
No funeral arrangements have yet been made pending the arrival of
the sons of the deceased, who live in other cities. However, it is very
likely that the funeral will occur in this city some time during Sunday,
which is the thirty-third anniversary of his marriage.
To Mrs. Coney and other members of the family The News
wishes to extend its most sincere sympathy. It, too, has lost a friend in
this sad, sudden and almost tragic snuffing out of such a splendid life.

FUNERAL OF E.F. CONEY OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON—Exact Hour Not Known Pending
Arrival of Members of Family.
The funeral of the late Edgar F. Coney will take place this
afternoon from St. Mark’s Episcopal church. The interment will be in
Palmetto cemetery and will be private. Owing to the fact hat [sic] it is
not known definitely when some of the members of the family will reach the
city, the exact hour of the funeral was not known last night, but will be
announced later.
The active pallbearers will be C. Downing, E.H. Mason,
A.V. Wood, J.J. Conoley, A.R. Hensel, Leo Lomm, C.D.
Parker, Thomas Fuller. The honorary pallbearers are W.F.

A. Fendig, C.H.

NOTICE—The friends of Mr. E.F. Coney are notified that the
funeral services will be held this afternoon at St. Mark’s church. The
interment will be private. Owing to the uncertainty of the time of arrival
of the sons of Mr. Coney, the exact hour will be announced later.
A TRIBUTE—I have known E.F. Coney, for much of the time
intimately, since his arrival in Brunswick thirty-five years ago and it
may be justly said of him that there was no better citizen. There was
nothing for the benefit of Brunswick which he did not have his time and he
contributed largely of his means for every movement which seemed hopeful
for the development of the city. He was particularly active in all
movements of the Board of Trade from 1880 to 1900.
It may be properly said of him that he carried his Christianity
into his daily life and business. Genial always, there are few men who
contribute as much as he did to the betterment of others, by kindly words
and kindly deeds which never die, and continue their mission of goodness
long after they are done and uttered.
There are not many men who had such a wide circle of real friends
as he. Friends who sincerely, lovingly, mourn his loss. He was my friend,
is my friend now that he has passed away. Flowers bloom and fade, leaves
wither, but a good life lives on forever treasured in the tablets of love
and memory.

LATE E.F. CONEY IS LAID TO REST—HUNDREDS OF FRIENDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE OF
RESPECT TO PROMINENT CITIZEN.
The funeral of the late Edgar F. Coney took place Sunday
afternoon from St. Mar’s Episcopal church, Rev. R.E. Boykin
officiating. The interment was in Palmetto cemetery and was private.
The funeral cortege was an unusually large one, hundreds of friends
of this prominent Brunswick citizen following the remains from the
residence on Union street to the church to pay a last tribute of respect.
The floral offerings were beautiful. Flowers were banked high on the
beautiful casket, and it took two vehicles to haul all of them from the
residence. Many organizations, as well as hundreds of friends, sent pretty
wreaths, etc.
At St. Mark’s church every available seat was occupied by sorrowing
friends who sobbed as the services were held. Probably a more loving
tribute has never been paid a resident of Brunswick, and words of sympathy
have been expressed to the bereaved family by the people of the city
generally.

ILL SEVERAL WEEKS
John J. Conoley, 85, for more than fifty years a prominent and leading
Brunswick resident, passed away at his home on Union street at 7 o'clock this
morning. Mr. Conoley had been ill for several weeks and his condition had been
critical for the past several days.
Born in Wilmington, N.C. September 1, 1850,
Mr. Conoley removed to
Brunswick when a young man, and he had been prominent in business circles up to
the time he retired several years ago. He served as secretary and treasurer and
vice president of the Downing Company for 45 years and was well known by naval
store-operators and producers throughout this entire section, having been for
years connected with that department of the Downing Co.
Mr. Conoley was married to
Miss Kezzie Wood in Wilmington on November
27, 1878 removing to Brunswick a short time thereafter.
In his younger life Mr.
Conoley was prominent in Brunswick business,
religious and social circles. He had for years been a member of St. Mark's
Episcopal church, having served that church as senior warden and vestryman. He
was also one of the oldest members of Oglethorpe-Rathbone lodge, Knights of
Pythias, having been a member of that lodge for a long number of years. He was
presented a veterans' jewel by the order in 1917.
Mr. Conoley was a Chesterfield in character, a member of a prominent
North Carolina family, many of the members of which removed to Brunswick a half
century ago. He had a large number of friends in Brunswick and throughout this
section, who will be grieved to learn of his death.
He is survived by his widow, two daughters,
Misses Ethel and Kezzie
Conoley, of this city; one brother, Charles
Conoley, of Atlanta, and a number of
nieces and nephews.

COOK, John Russell

A GOOD LIFE ENDED—One of Brunswick’s Oldest Citizens Goes
to His Eternal Rest.
Mr. John R. Cook died yesterday afternoon at 6
o’clock at his residence on Union street of consumption.
Mr. Cook had been ill for some time. The dread malady that but
seldom allows escape had laid its hand upon him, and with a Christian
resignation he awaited the final summons.
Mr. Cook was one of Brunswick’s pioneer business men. He was born
at Worcester, Mass., on January 15th, 1838. His wife, who survives him, was
Miss Mary E. Bellows, Holliston, Mass. In 1866,
Mr. Cook came to Brunswick, and
cast his lot with our people, then just emerging from the disasters of the civil
war. He established Cook’s Mill, for a long time the most extensive business in
the city. As alderman, mayor pro tem, pilot commissioner, Mr. Cook made an
admirable record for the good service and devotion to the city’s interest, and
in his business, set a high standard of fidelity that made him a model to his
associates.
Mr. Cook was one of the charter members of the Presbyterian church
of this city, and has served almost continually either as deacon or elder.
Three children survive him; Cashier
W.B. Cook, of the Merchants and
Traders Bank, Mr. George Cook and Miss Ada
Cook.
The funeral will occur tomorrow at 12 o’clock, from the Presbyterian
church, Rev. R.C. Gilmore conducting the services. The interment will be in Oak
Grove cemetery.
A good Christian, a valuable citizen, a true man—such is his
epitaph. All of Brunswick will join in mourning the loss of one of the city’s
staunchest upholders and one who was ever without reproach.

HONOR TO BRUNSWICK’S DEAD—The Funeral of Mr. John R. Cook
Today—Large Attendance.
The representative citizens of the city of
Brunswick turned out at noon today to honor the memory of one of Brunswick’s
oldest and most prominent citizens—the late John R. Cook.
At noon, the funeral procession moved from the residence of the
deceased on Union street, to the Presbyterian church, the house of worship which
stands as a monument to the memory of Mr. Cook, its most influential builder. Three of Brunswick’s ex-mayors,
Messrs. A.J. Crovatt, J.J. Spears and M.J.
Colson, the present mayor and aldermen and the other city officials in carriages
formed an escort of honor to the remains. The pall-bearers were Messrs. T.W.
Dexter, A.B. Rose, C.S. Tait, J.A. Butts,
G.A. Middleton and W.F. Winecoff.
At the church the choir, consisting of
Mrs. A.B. Rowe, Mrs. Dyer,
Messrs. Tupper and Moore, preluded the solemn service with an appropriate
dirge. Rev. R.C. Gilmore paid an eloquent and feeling tribute to the memory of
the deceased, laying especial stress on his great service to the church and the
many virtues which made his life a model.
At the conclusion of the sermon the casket, by request, was placed
in the lobby of the church and uncovered, so that the many friends of the
deceased, in passing out, could look for the last time on his face. The scene
was an affecting one, as business associates and friends gazed on the still
features of him they had known so well.
The long
funeral cortege then followed the remains to Oak Grove cemetery, where they were
interred.

passenger train bound from Brunswick for Albany plunged through a burned
trestle between Waycross and Lulaton.
The locomotive, baggage car and one
second class passenger coach fell into Collins Creek. A for obscured the
vision of the engineer, it is believed, so that he failed to observe that
part of the trestle, about the middle, had burned during the night.

Edward Cooper,
both of Brunswick, were killed in a wreck on the Atlantic Coast Line,
Brunswick and Western branch, about 7:45 o’clock this morning when a
passenger train bound from Brunswisk [sic] for Albany plunged through a
burned trestle between Waycross and Lulaton.
The locomotive, baggage car and one
second class passenger coach fell into Collins Creek. The burning embers
of the trestle set fire to the train and for a time it looked as if all of
the wooden coaches would be destroyed. Besides the engineer and fireman
being killed there were several passengers suffering from minor injuries.
A relief and wreck train was rushed from here to the scene and the injured
and the bodies of the dead were brought here. Those on the injured lise
[sic] received medical attention at the local hospital.
A heavy fog prevented Engineer
Potter from
seeing the burning trestle and before he could apply the emergency brakes
over half of his train had plunged off the track into the creek.
The bodies of Engineer
Potter
and his fireman were prepared for burial by a Waycross undertaker and will
be taken to Brunswick where interment will take place in the morning. The
engineer is survived by a wife and family.

MRS.
COUPER DEAD
The Brunswick Advertiser, of Saturday has this to say of a lady
well-known in this section. Mrs. Couper was the mother of
Mrs. Charles S.
Wylly, formerly of Darien but now of Brunswick. The deceased leaves many
relatives in this section and to them all we extend our sympathies. The
Advertiser says: Early yesterday morning, as the old year was slipping away to
the shadow land, death laid its flowers gently at the feet of one of its chosen,
and she fell asleep, fell hapily [sic] into that long sweet sleep which knows no
waking. Mrs. Caroline Couper had lived, a beautiful example to all about her,
through the summers and winters of eighty-seven years, and as the funeral
services were conducted yesterday afternoon, the quiet sleeper, with her white
hands folded on her breast, was surrounded by a large and loving family of
children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Mrs. Couper was the wife of
the late James Hamilton Couper, one of the most prominent men in the history of
South Georgia. The body was taken to St. Simon [sic] Island this morning, where
gentle hands laid it down in the old burying ground, and left it there, under
the long gray mosses, and with the murmer [sic] of the blue Atlantic in the
distance. “And so He giveth His beloved sleep.”

COX, Bessie Helen
The Brunswick News; Tuesday 10 June 1947; pg. 1 col. 1
ACCIDENT IS FATAL TO 3-YEAR OLD GIRL—Mother Standing in Front Door When Truck
Hits Her Daughter.
A mother stood in the front door of her brick war apartment at 3533
Gordon Oaks, between Albany and Amherst streets, this morning and almost
witnessed the horrible death of her pretty little three-year-old daughter, who
was run over by a milk truck only a few yards from where she stood.
The victim of the unfortunate accident was little
Bessie Helen Cox,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.W. Cox.
A milk truck of the Blackerby Dairy, driven by
Johnnie Kiff, had
stopped in front of the Cox apartment, and the driver went to the door and
talked with Mrs. Cox concerning milk deliveries. Little
Bessie Helen and three
or four other children, including Harris[?] Cox, her 10-year-old brother, were
playing around the apartment. The driver steeped back into his truck and
started off. His view was obscured by the front of the vehicle. The little
girl evidently had run in front of the truck and was not seen by the driver or her
mother. As Mr. Kiff started the truck he felt it run over something. The
little brother, and another playmate, Harris O’Connor, 12, standing nearby, saw
the accident and screamed, and this attracted the attention of Mrs.
Cox.
The front left wheel of the truck passed over the little girl’s
head, badly crushing it, and she died almost instantly. The driver declared he
had not observed the child run in front of the truck nor did he see her until
after the wheel had passed over her head. The little playmates also said they
did not notice she was in front of the truck. The accident was investigated by
Police Office [sic] Copeland.
The driver is not being held, but
Coroner J.D. Baldwin arranged to
hold an inquest this afternoon.
Mr.
Cox, father of the child, is in Palatka, Fla. He was at once
notified and is now enroute to the city and funeral arrangements, in charge of
the Gibson-Hart Funeral Home, have not been made pending his arrival.
The Brunswick News; Wednesday 11 June 1947; pg. 8 col. 5
FATAL ACCIDENT WAS UNAVOIDABLE
A coroner’s jury which yesterday afternoon investigated the accident
in which little 3-year-old Bessie Helen
Cox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
F.W. Cox,
lost her life, returned a verdict that it was an unfortunate, unavoidable
accident.
The little girl was run over in front of the family apartment at
3533 Gordon Oaks by a milk truck driven by Johnny Kiff, and the jury exonerated
him of any blame for the accident
COX, Carey W.
The Columbus Daily Enquirer Sun (Columbus, GA); 22 September 1876; pg. 2 col. 4
Carey’s
death was mentioned as an afterthought in a news article about
the recent yellow fever outbreak encompassing several counties
in Georgia.
Near the end of the article was a communication from the
Telegraph Messenger that read as follows:
The Telegraph-Messenger says: The
disease is spreading all over the city, but the mortality is comparatively
small. From Monday until Thursday evening only three deaths from the fever were
reported. Cary W. Cox, well known in this city, died yesterday. The other two
were a sailor and a child.

OBITUARY-COX
Died in this city, September 28th, 1876,
Harry B., son of
Mr. Henry H. and Mrs. Mary
Virginia Cox.
Little
Harry’s sojourn here was brief, as he had not quite completed
his third year, but his affectionate little heart, his remarkable intelligence
and the many little graces and ways, which in the eyes of fond parents and
loving friends, were so countless and so winsome, make as aching void in the
household of which he was the light and the ornament. He was one of the many
victims of the yellow fever, with which this city was so severely scourged. But
we murmur not, nor would we recall him if we could, to this world of sin and
sorrow. He is now beyond the reach of sickness, sorrow, pain and death.
“Amid earth’s conflict, woe and care,
When our dark path appears,
‘Tis sweet to know thou cans’t not share
Our anguish and our tears-
That on thy head shall never fall
The storms we may not flee;
Yes, safely sheltered from them all,
We joy that thou are free.”

HIT AND RUN
ACCIDENT TAKES LIFE OF BRUNSWICK YOUTH, MAN CHARGED
A
Brunswick youth was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver as he was
riding his bicycle south on the shoulder of the road along Ga. Highway 303
at Ellis Point near West Shore Drive late Saturday afternoon.
Pronounced dead at the local hospital shortly after Glynn County Police
responded to the scene at approximately 5:12 p.m. Saturday was Charles
Lee Creel, Jr., 14, of 164 Lake Dr.
At
6:05 p.m., police arrested John Robert Nichols, 28, of Route Six,
Box 358, Blythe Island Dr., and charged him with one count of homicide by
a vehicle in the first degree, one count of driving under the influence
and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.
Nichols is being held at the Glynn County Detention Center on $50,000
bond on the homicide by vehicle count and $344 bond on each of the other
two counts.
According to eyewitness accounts a vehicle traveling south on Ga. 303
crossed the center line of the highway, swerved to the left, headed back
to the right, ran off the road and hit the boy, failing to stop after
impact.
Police said a neighbor of Nichols stopped at the scene at about the
time of the accident, recognized his car and told investigating officers
what she had seen.
Police also reported that firefighters at the Ballard Fire Station saw a
car fitting the description of Nichols’ go by the station at a high
rate of speed and almost hit another car as it passed. Reports said one of
the firefighters yelled at the driver to slow down, some four minutes
before police received the call of the accident.
District Attorney Glenn Thomas, Jr., told The News that Nichols,
if convicted, could receive a maximum sentence of five years in prison for
the homicide by vehicle charge and one year in prison and a $1,000 fine
for each of the other two charges.
Funeral services will be Tuesday at 3 p.m. in Tabernacle Baptist Church
with Rev. Clarke Wiggins officiating. Interment will follow in
Palmetto Cemetery.

[Thaddeus died before African-Americans were able to

Mystery Marker—TOMBSTONE IS HAULED FROM UNDER HOUSE
“I’ve done a lot of things as a policeman, but never that.” Said
veteran city police officer H.E. Burch as he took two prisoners and
headed for 1609 George St. to remove a tombstone from under the house.
The call had come from Mr. and Mrs. B.G. Head, who
discovered the marker after moving into the house two weeks ago. None of
the neighbors knew who it belonged to or where it had come from.
As the prisoners removed the marble marker, the following legend
was visible: “Thades Cummings, Born Oct. 11, 1902, Died Apr. 19,
1938.”
Officer Burch theorized the stone might have come from
nearby Oak Grove city cemetery, but the only Cummings recorded as
buried in any of the city cemeteries was a chiropractor who died in 1931.
A possible clue came from the 1937 city directory. Listed as living
at 1607 Lee St. in that year was a Thaddeus Cummings, a laborer;
wife’s name Ophelia.
Could the stonecutter, as an economy move or because it was a
nickname, have shortened the name Thaddeus to “Thades”?
Urban redevelopment director Robert G. Mauney said it is not
uncommon to find discarded tombstones lying around due to replacement by
improved markers or for other reasons.
Mauney said two or three such discarded markers are at the
city dump now, and that people sometimes take them home to use for
stepping stones.
At any rate, officer Burch, who joined the city police 17½
years ago after 10 years’ service including stings as a Montgomery County
deputy sheriff and as police chief at Uvalda, can never again say he’s
never been called upon to remove a tombstone from under a house.
The Brunswick News; Saturday 20 February 1965; pg.

TOMBSTONE FOUND HERE IS CLAIMED
A tombstone found earlier this week under a house at 1609 George
St. has been identified as having come from the Greenwood Cemetery grave
of Thaddeus Cummings, a laborer for the city prior to his death in
1938.
Cummings’ son, Robert Cummings, a partner in the
Lewis-Cummings-McNeely Mortuary, identified the marker and claimed it at
police headquarters.
Cummings said he had no idea how the stone got where it was
found, or even that it was missing, since he hadn’t been out to the
cemetery in about three years.
The spelling of his father’s first name as “Thades” rather
than Thaddeus on the marker was attributed by Cummings to a
misspelling.
Cummings’ mother, Mrs. Ophelia Cummings, who lived
with her husband at 160 Lee St., died only four months after the April,
1938, death of her husband, Cummings said.
