GAITHERS, child
The Atlanta Constitution; Tuesday 15 May 1888; pg. 2 col. 1
A homicide
occurred in the Ardock settlement, in McIntosh county, early in the last week,
but was not discovered until the middle of this week. Two small colored
boys, Cain Gaithers and his brother, went into the woods with a gun and a hoe,
and Cain came back without the gun and hoe, and without his brother, for whom he
could not account, saying his brother had gone to a neighbor’s house. His
father sent him for the hoe and gun, which he brought, saying he had seen
nothing of his brother, but had seen his tracks. Several days after this
he and his father were going through the woods, when Cain acted queerly at a
certain point, and being sent to a point at which he had been seen shying
around, the buzzards rose up and the father went up and found the other boy shot
through the head and covered behind a lot with bushes. The boy, Cain,
admitted he had killed his brother, and says it was an accident, but the
circumstances upon the coroner’s inquest was such that the boy was committed by
the coroner to await the action of the grand jury. Cain seems to be about
eleven or twelve years old.

City police were called late Thursday to 1809 Bartow St., the
residence of the Rev. and Mrs. Silas Gamble by Charles
Wilson, an associate of Rev. Gamble in the church at Sterling,
who said he had been going by the Gamble home and trying to “catch
him” all week, but had failed to reach him by telephone.

Gamble had tried to rouse her husband, and that he did not reply. She
tried to climb into bed but her wheel chair toppled and she was thrown

MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING FATHER WITH BASEBALL BAT
By Tom Hodges, Staff
Writer
An 18-year-old Marietta man was jailed on murder charges Saturday
after allegedly beating his father to death with a baseball bat.
Cobb County police say David
Madison Gann, of 2868 Blackberry Lane, which is off Robinson Road in
east Marietta, called officers to his home in the early evening Saturday
and told them he had hit his father with the bat and was unable to rouse
him.
Police found the man, identified as 57-year-old
Madison J. Gann, of the same
address, lying dead inside the house.
Investigators said a fight had apparently broken out between the
two some time earlier in the afternoon. During the course of the argument,
police say, the younger Gann hit his father several times with the baseball bat.
The only other people in the house at the time of the fight were
two children, aged three and 19 months, police say.
The 18-year-old was taken to Kennestone Hospital where he was given
routine tests to determine whether he was injured. The results of the
tests were not available today, but a police spokesman said he did not
appear to have been injured.
Gann is currently being held without bond at the Cobb County jail.

NEGRO CHILD IS BURNED TO DEATH—LEFT IN HOUSE ALONE LITTLE BOY PLAYED IN
FIRE WITH FATAL RESULTS
A little negro boy, four years of age the son of
Susan Gasaway, was burned to
death in a fire which partly destroyed the residence at 1123 Albany
street, yesterday morning shortly after 10 o’clock.
An alarm was sounded from box 28 and the department made the usual
quick run to the scene of the conflagration. As soon as they began to
fight the fire, which was in a rear room of the little house, they heard
the screams of a child, and at once an effort was made to get into the
room. It appears, however, that the room was entirely enveloped in flames
and it was impossible for the firemen to rescue the child. As soon as the
fire could be sufficiently extinguished one or two of the firemen went
into the room and there they found the child lying near the bed burned
beyond recognition.
It appears that the child had been left in the room by its mother,
who left a coal fire burning in the room. It is thought that the child
crawled to the fireplace, and, in playing in the fire, his clothes were
ignited and this set fire to the house. The child, of course, being alone,
was helpless. The mother often left the child in the house alone for a
short time, and it was stated that the boy was almost an invalid, being
unable to walk alone. The woman seemed terribly distressed over the
unfortunate affair.

FIVE DIE IN ONE DAY—The
Death Wagon Rattles O’er the Streets from Morn Till Night—MINISTERS HURRY
FROM BED TO BED—Messengers Wait at the Doors to Summon Them from One
Chamber of Death to Another—The Pestilence Spreads.
Brunswick, Ga., October 21.—(Special.)—Death did its work today, and
tonight, beneath the sod in Oak Grove cemetery, five victims of the yellow
plague sleep within its arms. Three more are beyond the power of
earthly skill to save. Down Brunswick’s streets today the dead wagon
moved rapidly, carrying the unfortunates to the graves that awaited them. Back and forth the wagon passed, and as one grave was filled another was
dug beside it. The ministers, from early dawn, drove rapidly to the
bedsides of their people; but their prayers could not save the lives they
so anxiously watched passing away. As the breath left the body of
one, a messenger stood at the door waiting to direct the ministers to
another. They were powerless to save, and could only pray. Noble, self-sacrificing ministers, He above alone knows all the good work
they have done today. As the newspaper men hurried fro house to
house, getting a list of the dead and dying, they, at least, saw something
of their labors. The ministers of Brunswick, known now throughout
the land, can die, should it be ordered, with the consciousness that they
labored through famine, pestilence and death for their people’s sake, and
at the throne of God, when their time comes, none can doubt, who knows
their work, the reward that will await them. In the golden book, the
names of Thompson, Cook, Hennessey,
Winn and Perry will shine with a light
that cannot be dimmed, for their record is one of noble deeds. C.W.D.
DYING RAPIDLY—The
Pestilence Breaks Its Previous Records at Brunswick
Brunswick, Ga., October 21.—There were officially reported today five
deaths and forty-nine new cases, the record breaker of the epidemic. The dead on the list are: Whites—Burr Winton,
Herman Grundy,
Alexander Pritchard and Mrs. Oberlauter.
At 9:30
o’clock tonight William C. Weed died. He was a victim of imprudent
nursing. His nurse, through feeling for the man begging for food,
like all yellow fever patients do, gave him, against the physician’s
orders, some nourishing food. He might have been saved had this not
been done.
The new
cases are: Whites, in Brunswick, 7; Hilda Poulsen,
Bessie Firth,
Samuel Silverstein, W.A. Line,
Thomas Mulligan, F. McC. Brown and
Mrs. Currie.
Whites,
on St. Simon’s, 3—Thomas Lambright,
Monroe Lambright and Mrs. Taylor,
making the total new cases of whites 10.
To the
official lists of deaths should be added one that occurred this afternoon,
Lytton Hazelhurst, a negro boy on North Amherst street.
Besides
this a negro child, Pinkie Wilson, died and her death certificate, issued
October 18th by Dr. Robert Hazelhurst, read: “Cause of
death, yellow fever; dead before physician reported her.” This
death, although occurring three days ago, has never been reported.
This
makes a total of seven yellow fever deaths that should be counted today. Two others are hourly expected to die,
Ernest George and Adolph
Lavine. There is no possible hope for them. Two other deaths occurred today,
Essie Beckman, a negro child, and
Mrs. Scranton, but neither from yellow
fever.
The
warm weather following the few days of rain and the cool spell has brought
the disease rapidly to the front. There are now 258 under treatment,
60 white and 198 colored. The outlook is not cheering for
twenty-five days yet. When the dread of famine seems to be
disappearing and the people are breathing easier deaths roll up and the
fever increases alarmingly.
One new
case is reported at Jesup today, a son of R.W. Tindall, white.
Four
patients were discharged. Six are now under treatment.

MRS. J.P. GOLDEN PASSED AWAY—Died Last night After a Long
and Serious Illness.
The many friends of Mrs. J.P. Golden will be shocked to learn of her death,
which occurred last night shortly after 11 o’clock at her home on Union street.
Though
Mrs.
Golden had been seriously ill for some time, her death came as somewhat of a
surprise as she was reported to be resting easier yesterday and some little
improvement was evident in her condition, but a turn for the worse came last
night, she had been in bad health for a period covering many months, and
although everything possible was done for her it was to no avail. Trips to
various sections and the best of medical skill failed to restore her health, and
for the past few months her life has gradually ebbed away.
The news of
the death of this estimable woman will cause universal sorrow in Brunswick and
elsewhere where she was known and loved by many friends. She was an old
resident of Brunswick, and was noted for her many acts of kindness, a
charity-worker and a woman who was loved and esteemed by all who knew her.
She is
survived by her husband, Engineer John P. Golden, and two sons,
Messrs. P.M. and
E.G. Golden, besides a large number of other relatives in this city and
elsewhere.
The funeral
will take place tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock from St. Xavier’s Catholic
church.
The
News
joins the many other friends in extending condolence to the grief-stricken
family.

AN OLD CITIZEN PASSES TO REST—L. GOLDSMITH, ILL FOR MANY
MONTHS DIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
L. Goldsmith, one of Brunswick’s oldest and best known citizens, passed away at
the residence of J.D. Ross, on Norwich street, where he had rooms, yesterday at
3:25 o’clock, after an illness of two or three years. While Mr.
Goldsmith’s death came rather sudden, still his condition has been serious for
many weeks. He was, however, up and about his room yesterday, when he was
stricken suddenly, passing away in a very short time.
Mr. Goldsmith
has been in failing health for many years, and for the past several months he
has not left his room.
The deceased
was 76 years of age. He was born in New York city, spending his early life
in the metropolis. In 1881 he removed to Brunswick, and since that time he
has been closely identified with the business interests of the city, always
joining in every movement that meant something good for the city of his
adoption. For two years he was a member of Brunswick’s city council and
has occupied other positions of honor and trust in the city.
“Pap”
Goldsmith, as he was familiarly called by his hundred [sic] of friends, was a
big-hearted jovial man, known by practically every resident of the city. In his death Brunswick loses one of her best known business men, and the members
of the family have the sympathy of the entire city. He is survived by
three daughters, Mrs. H.L.B. Wiggins, of Savannah; Mrs. A.B. Harby of Sumter,
S.C., and Mrs. John C. Lehman of this city.
Funeral
arrangements had not been completed last night, but the interment will take
place sometime Sunday afternoon. The funeral announcement will be made
later.

DEATH CALLS A TRULY WELL LOVED CITIZEN—Col. Charles Porter Goodyear
Passed Away Early Yesterday Morning—Was Brunswick’s Truest Friend—His Long
Life in Brunswick Was One of Continual Sacrifice to the Interest of the
City—Funeral Will Occur This Afternoon—Body to Be In State at Elks’ Home.
Col. Charles Porter Goodyear, well beloved citizen,
Brunswick’s best friend, after an illness covering
several months passed away at the family residence at five o’clock
yesterday morning. Col. Goodyear has been ill for three months
suffering with a complication of heart troubles, but is has only been
within the past few weeks that his condition grew alarming and that
physicians felt that the end was in sight.
He grew some better during the Christmas holidays and was strong
enough to visit the home of his daughter, Mrs. W.E. Mitchell,
who resides near the city, but on returning he grew worse again, was
forced to his bed and has gradually grown weaker until the end came and
quietly and peacefully in the early hours of yesterday morning, the great
soul returned to the God from whence it came.
Than Col. Goodyear Brunswick had no better citizen,
no abler champion and no more eloquent or powerful advocate. He came to
this city from his home in Washington, Conn.,
in 1869, just after the Civil war had left a defeated people with a bitter
sting in their hearts. From the moment of his arrival, he made it his duty
to endeavor to heal the wounds of war, to unite the people again and to
scatter the doctrine of brotherly love. On every occasion he preached this
creed and it was finally fruitful of happy results. He was elected clerk
of Glynn Superior court in the middle seventies and was while engaged in
this work that he studied law and was admitted to the bar. He formed the
firm of Goodyear and Kay and for many years it was one of
the leading law firms of this entire section of the state. Many years
later the firm was broadened into that of Goodyear, Kay and
Brantley, composed of the deceased, Col. W.E. Kay, now of
Jacksonville and former Congressman W.G. Brantley.
At this period in his life Col. Goodyear made up his mind
that Brunswick would never be a seaport unless
greater channel depths were secured on the outer harbor. The federal
government had, up to that time refused to make appropriations for the
harbor and Col. Goodyear sacrificing his immense and lucrative law
practice, worked for and finally obtained a government contract for the
deepening of the bar.
This proved to be the greatest sacrifice of his life, for while he
obtained certain depths and really benefited the harbor, the venture was a
final failure and cost him a small fortune. The work he did there,
however, was the nucleus for government aid and there is no memorial more
fitting to him, than the great silent, expanse of water on the outer bar
of the Brunswick harbor.
Col. Goodyear was always a believer in the future of
Brunswick; he saw with a clear vision the things of the future and it was
his eloquent voice and powerful logic that first pointed the way for
direct trade with the countries to the South of us. Many years before the
world’s great war made the use of all harbors a necessity, Col.
Goodyear argued for direct steamship lines to the port of South
and Central America. He visited the great inland cities of the South
preaching his faith in this commerce and it is a compensating fact to his
friends that he lived long enough to see at least a portion of his dreams
come true!
In all of the vicissitudes that have befallen Brunswick on all of
the years of his residence here he has ever been her true and devoted
champion and his untimely death will be deeply mourned by the entire
people of the country.
Col. Goodyear was seventy-six years old on December 2nd
last. He was married to Miss Ella Flint of this city
on September 5, 1871 and to that union four children have been born, all
of whom together with Mrs. Goodyear, survive him. They are
Messrs. C.P. Goodyear, Jr., Stephen W. Goodyear
and Mrs. W.E. Mitchell, all of this city and Benjamin W.
Goodyear of Jacksonville.
The funeral arrangements include a simple service at the family
residence at 9 o’clock, conducted by Rev. O.P. Gilbert, of the
First Baptist church. The remains will then be removed to the Elks’ Lodge,
where they will lie in state, until two o’clock this afternoon when the
interment will occur at Oak Grove cemetery. Rev. L.J. Ballard, of
the First Methodist church officiating.
The Brunswick Bar association held a meeting at noon yesterday to
take action on the death of Col. Goodyear and among these
things the association named the following active pall bearers, Col.
W.E. Kay, Judge J.W. Bennet, Judge C.B. Conyers, Judge Max
Isaac, Judge D.W. Krauss, Col. F.H. Harris and Col.
J.T. Colson. In accordance with the request of the deceased,
the other members of the local bar were requested to act as honorary pall
bearers.
At the Bar association, a committee consisting of Judge J.W.
Bennet, Judge C.B. Conyers and Col. F.H. Harris were
named to prepare resolutions on the death of Col. Goodyear
and present them to Glynn Superior court on such occasion as will suit the
convenience of Judge J.P. Highsmith.
The death of Col. Goodyear has occasioned sincere
sorrow not only in this city, but all over Georgia, as a flood of
telegrams from various sections of the state to the members of the family,
received yesterday indicated.
The News joins with thousands of others in extending to the
members of the family, its sincere sympathy.

CHARLES P. GOODYEAR ENDS HIS LIFE AT OFFICE EARLY
TODAY—Uses Small Rope to Hang Himself and is Discovered by Wife When She
Visited His Office
Driven to a point of desperation by ill health and financial
reverses, Charles P. Goodyear, 58 years of age, this morning
ended his life by hanging himself in the office of his plant foot of
Prince street.
That Mr. Goodyear had planned to end his troubles
when he left his home this morning was indicated in notes he left and his
actions after arising shortly after 6 o’clock. He evidently went to his
office to carry out plans which he had made during the night, and before
he ended it all he uncovered his typewriter, wrote four notes, one to his
wife, two to two business friends and the fourth, not addressed, as an
explanation of the act he had planned.
“My left eye is completely blind. Regardless of internal and
external medicines the right eye is following identically the same way.
Rather than to be blind I prefer to pass out,” read the note which he left
unaddressed. It ended with this sentence:
“Old time customers, having got my confidence, have gone into
bankrupt court, and so many of them it breaks me in these depressed times.
I do not prefer the bankrupt court as a way out.”
Contents of the other three notes were not made public. They were
enclosed in envelopes and addressed, while the fourth was left open. All
four were tied together.
Mr. Goodyear left his home, corner Howe and Reynolds
streets, shortly before 7 o’clock this morning and went directly to his
office. Mrs. Goodyear, who assisted her husband in the
operations of his business, left her home about an hour later and went to
the plant. She noticed the front door was locked. Looking into a window,
near which stands Mr. Goodyear’s desk, she was startled when
the gruesome sight of her husband dangling from the end of a sash cord
stared her in the face. She was alone, but quietly called to workmen on
the wharf, who immediately summoned Coroner J.D. Baldwin
and he took charge of the body.
Mr. Goodyear, securing the cord probably after he
reached the plant, as it is known as “drum line” and carried by boats,
climbed to the top of the building, tying one end of the rope to a rafter,
permitting the end to extend to a distance of a few feet above the desk.
Then he climbed to the top of his desk, placed his head in the noose he
had prepared and swung away, knowing that he would strangle to death.
That he struggled as the end came was evidenced by the fact that
one of his feet rested on the top of the desk when his body was found.
Coroner Baldwin estimated that he had been dead for probably
half an hour before Mrs. Goodyear discovered the body.
Mr. Goodyear, who was president and active head of
the Goodyear Parking Company, had been engaged in the shrimp business in
Brunswick
for many years, in fact, he was one of the pioneers in the prawn industry
along the South Atlantic coast, and until
that business received a serious set-back a few years ago his company
enjoyed a profitable business. That Mr. Goodyear has been
worrying over financial matters in recent months was known to members of
his family and to friends, and ill health had also caused him considerable
worry.
The deceased was a son of the late Charles P.
Goodyear, prominent Brunswick attorney, who many years ago retired
from a profitable practice of law to devote his time to the deepening of
Brunswick[s] outer bar, and who won fame in his big undertaking.
He is survived by his widow, his mother, four children, Miss
Marie Goodyear, who is attending the Georgia State Women’s
College at Milledgeville; Charles, Genevieve and Cyrus.
Two brothers, S.W., of this city, and Benjamin, of
Jacksonville, and one sister, Mrs. E.W. Mitchell,
of Miami, also survive.
Funeral arrangements, in charge of Mortician Edo Miller,
have not as yet been arranged, pending the arrival of relatives in the
city. It was announced, however, that the funeral will be held on
Wednesday, the hour and other details to be announced later.

CHAS. GOODYEAR DIED THURSDAY IN FLORIDA CITY
Charles P. Goodyear, 28, son of Mrs. C.P. Goodyear,
of Sea
Island, who spent practically all of
his life in Brunswick, died in Tampa, Fla.,
Thursday night. Funeral services will be held here Monday.
Mr. Goodyear, member of a well-known
Brunswick
family, was born here and attended local public schools. He was a grandson
of the late Col. Charles Porter Goodyear, for
whom a Brunswick housing project was recently named, and who for years was
one of Brunswick’s best known residents. His father, the late C.P.
Goodyear, Jr., was also a prominent resident of the city for many
years. Mr. Goodyear had been residing in Tampa for a number
of years. His death, it was stated, followed a short illness.
He is survived by his wife, two children, Judith Lanier,
3; and Charles Porter, 9 months; two sisters, Mrs. J.W.
Skipper, of this city, and Mrs. Vassa Cate, Jr., of Miami, and
two brothers, Lieut. Cyrus S. Goodyear, U.S. Army, and William

MRS. C.P. GOODYEAR, AN AGED RESIDENT, PASSES AWAY
TODAY
Mrs. Emma Flint Goodyear, widow of the late Col. Charles
P. Goodyear, one of Brunswick’s
oldest and best known women, passed away at 7 o’clock this morning at the
residence of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. C.P. Goodyear, Jr. Mrs.
Goodyear had been in a serious condition for several days, a number of
her relatives having been called here a few days ago because of her
condition.
Born in Connecticut, Mrs. Goodyear removed to
Brunswick with her family when a small girl and has made her home here
ever since. As Miss Emma Flint, she was a popular
member of Brunswick’s younger society set and her wedding to the late
Col. Goodyear was a big social event. Col. Goodyear
for years was one of the best known attorneys in this section of the
state, and after practicing here for years he abandoned that profession to
devote his time to the port of Brunswick and secured a contract for
deepening the Brunswick bar, in which he was engaged for many months, and
while he succeeded in securing the necessary depths, the undertaking was a
financial failure.
Mrs. Goodyear, during her early life, was a leader in
social, church and club circles of Brunswick. She was highly esteemed by
an unusually large number of friends, who will be grieved to hear of her
death.
The deceased is survived by three children, Stephen W.
Goodyear, of this city, Mrs. W.E. Mitchell, of
Miami,
Fla., and Ben F. Goodyear,
of Jacksonville. Nine grandchildren and one great grandchild also survive.
Funeral services will be held from the residence, corner Howe and
Reynolds streets, Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock, conducted by Rev.
C.C. Davison of the First Baptist church, with Mortician Edo
Miller in charge. Interment will be in Oak Grove cemetery, where her
late distinguished husband is buried. The following friends will act as
pall bearers: John T. Whittle, Judge C.B. Conyers,
Millard Reese, Harry Parker, R.E. Jennings,

LITTLE GIRL PASSES AWAY—After Lingering Illness, Little Frances Goodyear
Yields to Death.
After lingering between life and death for the past several days,
Frances Adelaide, the little year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C.P. Goodyear, Jr., passed away at 8 o’clock yesterday morning at
the home of her parents on London street and the funeral occurred in the
afternoon interment being in Oak Grove cemetery. The death of this little
girl is made unusually sad because of the taking away of her sister, three
years old, only a few days ago—thus over a happy hoe the shadow of two
graves has fallen.
This beautiful baby life was so precious, so frought [sic] with
blessings to her parents that she seemed a flower of paradise permitted to
bloom for a brief period by their side, then recalled to its nature skies,
leaving in their double bereavement, the earth road dark and lonely. The
sympathy of the many friends of the family goes out ot the bereaved
parents and relatives in their sad bereavement.

considered serious, but a turn for the worst occurred yesterday morning and the
end soon came.

The funeral
will be held this morning from the family residence on Oglethorpe street. The interment will be in Palmetto cemetery.

have the sympathy of many friends in the sad bereavement.

GOULD, Joseph
Edward
The Brunswick News; Tuesday 1 November 2011; pg. 4A cols. 1-2
Capt. Joseph Edward Gould U.S. Navy (Retired), a veteran of World War II,
Korea and Vietnam, and devout poet and unselfish volunteer, died Oct. 6,
2011, in Fairhope, Ala. He was two weeks shy of his 91st
birthday.
Capt. Gould was born in Brunswick to
Potter and Lois Gould who were lifelong
residents of Brunswick and St. Simons. He graduated from Glynn
Academy in 1938 and attended Georgia Tech for one year prior to attending
and graduating from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., in
June of 1942 with the class of 1943. His class was one of the first
to be educated and pushed through in three years to support the demands of
the war. His war service included duty in the USS Saratoga (CV-3)
and submarine school and service in the USS S-15 (SS-120) and USS S-11
(SS-116). Captain Gould was part of a special crew that took a
surrendered Japanese submarine to Hawaii from the deep western Pacific at
the end of the war. Other service included duty in surface
combatants during the Korean war and naval intelligence during the Vietnam
war with a specialty in Russia and the Soviet Union. Captain
Gould
would command the USS LSM-449, destroyer escort USS Silverstein (DE-534),
destroyer USS Brush (DD-745) and Mine Squadron Nine during his illustrious
naval career.
Capt. Gould was accomplished in many areas and after his Navy retirement, he
became a real estate broker owning his own firm, Shorebird Realty, in San
Clemente, Calif. He taught at San Clemente High School for a decade,
as the lead naval science instructor for the school’s Navy Junior ROTC
program, where he mentored numerous students and watched many of them
launch successful careers both in and out of the military. Additionally,
Capt. Gould was a voracious volunteer who served as Church
Council member of many churches and vestries, chairman, of the Interfaith
Serviceman’s Center—an oasis for Vietnam-era Marines and sailors serving
in the San Clemente area during the Vietnam war, as well as other
volunteer endeavors. Most noteworthy, was Capt. Gould’s outreach to
enlisted Marines,, whom he hosted in his home over a plethora of holidays
to ensure these young people had a home cooked meal during a holiday spent
away from loved ones. He treated all these Marines like family.
Capt. Gould’s personal joy was writing, and he published many of his works and
song lyrics through the years, to the enjoyment of his family and close
friends. His poetry was an inspiration to many special occasions and
included serious pieces about patriotism, faith, love and general humor. His wit and wisdom were legendary and he influenced many individuals of
all ages with his infectious enthusiasm, positive outlook on life and
sound perspectives on many matters. His dear friends at Homestead
Village and in the Fairhope community treasured his resilience, words and
warmth for the five years of his residence there. Capt.
Gould
devoted time each morning to his crossword puzzles, always using an ink
pen—as he rarely, if ever, made a mistake.
Capt.
Gould was married twice, to Ellen Winger and to
Katie Gould of Ocean
Springs, Miss. He is survived by a son, Ronald, as well as a
stepson, Rear Admiral Sonny
Masso U.S.N. (Retired) and five grandchildren,
Prom, Mina, Gabriel,
Alexis and Colin, as well as his brother
David of
Brunswick. Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3,

ALLEGED NEGRO PROWLER SLAIN BY ISLAND MAN—Wife
Spotted For Outside Bedroom Window
An 18-year-old St. Simons Island Negro,
with a record of delinquency, died early today at the Brunswick hospital
after being shot in the head by a St. Simons Island resident who told
county police the youth was prowling at the edge of his home,
Lt. Paul Waggoner
declared.
Horace W. Grant
of 1077 Demere Road, St. Simons, died at approximately 3:25 a.m. today
after being shot around 1:30 a.m. by
Thomas A. Younce III, of 1128 Peachtree
St., St. Simons, according to Waggoner.
The lieutenant said police received a
call at 1:30 from Younce
who said he thought he had just shot a prowler.
Waggoner,
Sgt. C.E. Garbutt,
and officers J.E. Way,
Tom Mimbs,
and Cordell Harper
arrived at the Younce
residence at 1:38 o’clock and found Grant
lying on the ground at the rear of the house at the northeast corner, said
Waggoner.
The young Negro had received a bullet in the forehead between the eyes,
Waggoner
added.
An ambulance arrived at 1:52 o’clock and
rushed Grant
to the hospital, the lieutenant said.
Grant
was lying with his feet near to the house and his head was resting
approximately eight feet, eight inches from a bullet hole in the window
screen, said Waggoner.
“He couldn’t have been more than three
feet away from the window when the shot was fired,” added the lieutenant.
Younce,
25, told police he and his wife, Candy,
had been having trouble sleeping due to the warm weather and that he had
opened a venetian blind and pulled back the window curtain to allow some
air to come into their bedroom, according to
Waggoner.
Waggoner
reported that Mrs. Younce
said she was lying in bed and upon looking out the window saw a movement.
She advised her husband and the two watched for about five minutes,
Waggoner
related.
Younce
stated he could see the movement at the edge of the window but was unable
to tell what it was, reported Waggoner,
adding that he then reached for .32 caliber pistol which he kept in a
night stand at the edge of the bed, declared the lieutenant.
Younce
said he fired the pistol from a lying position, shooting across the figure
of his wife, Waggoner
related. Both Younce
and his wife then said they heard a person fall and moan after which they
called police, declared Waggoner.
The lieutenant said police found a
bicycle, believed to be Grant’s,
about two houses down from the Younce
residence.
Younce
is associated with his father in the pest and termite control business.
His wife is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Edwin N. Cofer
of St. Simons.
Waggoner
said Coroner L.M. Harrison
was to determine whether to hold an inquest after reading the police
report.
A Juvenile Court official said
Grant was
committed April 27, 1964 to a State Training School and was released on
Dec. 18, 1964 after he was found delinquent on a burglary charge. Court
officials said he had a lengthy record of shoplifting, petty larceny and
truancy.
Sheriff’s department records showed
Grant
entered a guilty plea in City Court to a charge of larceny on Oct. 20,
1965 and was sentenced to three months in jail or $105 fine. He served his
sentence and was released Nov. 23.
The youth’s last encounter with police
occurred last Jan. 3 when he was jailed for investigation by county
officers. He was released the following day, according to records.
Lt. Waggoner
said the shooting, in his opinion was justifiable.

Youth’s Father Takes Warrant—YOUNCE ARRESTED AS
JURY RULES SLAYING JUSTIFIED
A 25-year-old St. Simons Island man,
Thomas A. Younce III,
today was facing a manslaughter charge in the fatal shooting of an
18-year-old Negro last Saturday on the island. However, just yesterday
afternoon, a five-man coroner’s jury held an inquest and ruled the slaying
justifiable homicide.
Harrison Grant
of 1077 Demere Road, St. Simons, the father of
Horace W. Grant
who died from a bullet wound in the head while allegedly prowling near a
window of the Younce
home early Saturday, obtained a warrant charging manslaughter against
Younce,
who resides at 1128 Peachtree St., St. Simons, according to Chief Deputy
Sheriff Henry Owens.
Younce
was arrested by the sheriff’s department yesterday afternoon and later
posted bond of $1,006.50, added Owens.
The case will be presented to the grand jury next week, the deputy
declared.
Younce
was arrested on the manslaughter charge shortly after a grand jury inquest
which termed the shooting of young Grant
justifiable, Coroner L.M. Harrison
said.
Harrison
expressed surprise when informed of the manslaughter charge brought
against Younce
by the dead youth’s father.
“The boy’s father testified at the
inquest that he had told his son that he was going to get into trouble
sooner or later,” said Harrison.
“He even said that young Grant
had been giving him a lot of trouble lately,”
Harrison added.
A medical examiner also testified at the
inquest saying the Negro youth had received a bullet flush in the forehead
and there was no evidence of bruises or other mistreatment on the boy’s
body, according to Harrison.
Grant
reportedly was shot around 1:30 a.m. Saturday and died in the Brunswick
hospital at approximately 3:25 o’clock.
County police discovered the youth’s body
lying at the rear of the Younce
home at the northeast corner near a bedroom window.
Younce
told police that he and his wife, Candy,
had been having difficulty sleeping due to the warm weather and that he
had opened a venetian blind and pulled back the window curtain to allow
some air to enter their bedroom.
Mrs. Younce
told police that she was lying in bed and upon looking out the window saw
a movement. She advised her husband and the two watched for about five
minutes.
Police reported that
Younce said he
could see the movement at the edge of the window but was unable to tell
what it was. Younce
then reached for a .32 caliber pistol which he kept in a night stand at
the edge of the bed and fired the pistol through the window, shooting from
a lying position across the figure of his wife.
The
Younces declared they then heard a person
fall and moan after which they called police.

BURNED TO DEATH
In our last issue we welcomed to our midst Mr. N.C. Greer of Pearson, Ga. In this, we perform a sadder duty, that of sympathizing with the stricken heart. For ere last Saturdays paper reached many of its readers, that fond father was
called on to mourn the loss of his dear Bertha, a bright lovely child of eight
years. It seems that Bertha and her sister Belle, who were still in
Pearson, were spending the night with a married sister, Mrs. Kirkland. During the night the house took fire and was destroyed. By the heroic
effort on the part of young McDonald, Belle was saved but little
Bertha was
consumed in the flames. So much of her body was rescued from the ashes was
brought to our city on Monday for interment. May a merciful Father turn
this affliction into a rich blessing.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun (Columbus, GA); Thursday 13 October 1892; pg. 3 col. 2
The burial of William A. Griffin, the Atlanta drummer whose body was found in
the bay at Brunswick, occurred in that city Sunday morning. Owing to the
decomposition it was found impossible to ship the remains to the family burying
ground at Hampton. The Times says of this occasion: Sunday morning,
while the sun was shining brightly, a spanking fall breeze blowing and the good
people of Brunswick turning out to their church worship, all that was mortal of
William A. Griffin was laid to rest in the city lot out at Oak Grove cemetery,
with only those present who were required to put the body in the ground. It was a sorrowful sight.
Undertaker Moore’s wagon went through the
streets carrying the body, with two men sitting on the box. Not a carriage
followed, and at the grave not a relative or friend was present. Not a
tear was shed. The burial occurred here without ceremony, while at the
homes of the deceased’s family, throughout North Georgia and Alabama, there was
deepest sorrow.

WILLIAM GRIFFIN’S SUICIDE—A Note Picked Up
May Throw Light Upon His Case.
Brunswick, Oct. 19.—(Special.)—A. Bowers
of 201 B street picked up a bottle that
was washed ashore after the August storm, containing the following:
“Brunswick,
Ga.—This is to certify that I, William A.
Griffin, will this day throw myself
overboard for causes which you will never know.”
The finding
of this recalls to print the suicide of Griffin about a year ago, who held a
large amount of insurance policies both accident and life. The companies
are now contesting the payment of the policies in court.
Griffin was a
brilliant young man who led a reckless life just before his death which is
alleged to have been the result of his wife’s conduct. He was well known
and once tried to shoot a man in the corridor of a Gainesville hotel for alleged
improper advances towards his wife. What effect the finding of this note
will have in the courts is not known.

FIVE DIE IN ONE DAY—The
Death Wagon Rattles O’er the Streets from Morn Till Night—MINISTERS HURRY
FROM BED TO BED—Messengers Wait at the Doors to Summon Them from One
Chamber of Death to Another—The Pestilence Spreads.
Brunswick, Ga., October 21.—(Special.)—Death did its work today, and
tonight, beneath the sod in Oak Grove cemetery, five victims of the yellow
plague sleep within its arms. Three more are beyond the power of
earthly skill to save. Down Brunswick’s streets today the dead wagon
moved rapidly, carrying the unfortunates to the graves that awaited them. Back and forth the wagon passed, and as one grave was filled another was
dug beside it. The ministers, from early dawn, drove rapidly to the
bedsides of their people; but their prayers could not save the lives they
so anxiously watched passing away. As the breath left the body of
one, a messenger stood at the door waiting to direct the ministers to
another. They were powerless to save, and could only pray. Noble, self-sacrificing ministers, He above alone knows all the good work
they have done today. As the newspaper men hurried fro house to
house, getting a list of the dead and dying, they, at least, saw something
of their labors. The ministers of Brunswick, known now throughout
the land, can die, should it be ordered, with the consciousness that they
labored through famine, pestilence and death for their people’s sake, and
at the throne of God, when their time comes, none can doubt, who knows
their work, the reward that will await them. In the golden book, the
names of Thompson, Cook, Hennessey,
Winn and Perry will shine with a light
that cannot be dimmed, for their record is one of noble deeds. C.W.D.
DYING RAPIDLY—The
Pestilence Breaks Its Previous Records at Brunswick
Brunswick, Ga., October 21.—There were officially reported today five
deaths and forty-nine new cases, the record breaker of the epidemic. The dead on the list are: Whites—Burr Winton,
Herman Grundy,
Alexander Pritchard and Mrs. Oberlauter.
At 9:30
o’clock tonight William C. Weed died. He was a victim of imprudent
nursing. His nurse, through feeling for the man begging for food,
like all yellow fever patients do, gave him, against the physician’s
orders, some nourishing food. He might have been saved had this not
been done.
The new
cases are: Whites, in Brunswick, 7; Hilda Poulsen,
Bessie Firth,
Samuel Silverstein, W.A. Line,
Thomas Mulligan, F. McC. Brown
and Mrs. Currie.
Whites,
on St. Simon’s, 3—Thomas Lambright,
Monroe Lambright and Mrs. Taylor,
making the total new cases of whites 10.
To the
official lists of deaths should be added one that occurred this afternoon,
Lytton Hazelhurst, a negro boy on North Amherst street.
Besides
this a negro child, Pinkie Wilson, died and her death certificate, issued
October 18th by Dr. Robert Hazelhurst, read: “Cause of
death, yellow fever; dead before physician reported her.” This
death, although occurring three days ago, has never been reported.
This
makes a total of seven yellow fever deaths that should be counted today. Two others are hourly expected to die,
Ernest George and Adolph
Lavine. There is no possible hope for them. Two other deaths occurred today,
Essie Beckman, a negro child, and
Mrs. Scranton, but neither from yellow
fever.
The
warm weather following the few days of rain and the cool spell has brought
the disease rapidly to the front. There are now 258 under treatment,
60 white and 198 colored. The outlook is not cheering for
twenty-five days yet. When the dread of famine seems to be
disappearing and the people are breathing easier deaths roll up and the
fever increases alarmingly.
One new
case is reported at Jesup today, a son of R.W. Tindall, white.
Four
patients were discharged. Six are now under treatment.
