ULLMER, David W.
Advertiser & Appeal; Saturday 7 March 1885; pg. 3 col. 4

            ‘Tis sad to chronicle the death of a true friend and noble gentleman.—This we must do in the demise of Mr. D.W. Ullmer, which took place on February 27th, 1885, at 1:30 p.m.—The deceased was engaged upon the rice plantation of Col. Owens, where at all hours he was attentive to the interests entrusted to him.  As a rice planter he had few equals.  He made friends of every class, and had not an enemy among white or black.  Everyone knew him to be a man of worth.  He was charitable to the last degree, and always ready to lend a helping hand to the needy.  His funeral ceremonies were conducted on Sunday by the Masonic fraternity at Folkston, of which he was a member.  O, friend and brother, when again shall we greet thee?  On that celestial shore where no pain is known.  Thy sister and they brothers and thy friend will ever mourn they loss—but stop! can we ask him back?  No, he is far happier now, and in meek submission we bow.  DON SANCHO.

MRS. ULSCH PASSES AWAY EARLY TODAY IN JACKSONVILLE

            News was received in this city today of the death in Jacksonville shortly after midnight of Mrs. George Ulsch, for many years a well known and beloved Brunswick woman, who still has an unusually large number of friends in Brunswick.
            Mrs. Ulsch, who was 80 years of age, spent her entire early life in Brunswick, removing to Jacksonville a number of years ago when her son, Malcolm W. Ulsch, was transferred to that city.  He had represented the lumber firm of R.R. Sizer & Co., in Brunswick for years and was later promoted and transferred to Jacksonville.
            The deceased was a most lovable character and will be remembered by many of Brunswick’s oldest residents for her kindness, her charitable and religious work.  She was practically all of her life a member of the First Methodist church.
            Short funeral services will be held at the home in Jacksonville at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning.  The funeral cortege, in charge of Undertaker Edo Miller, will then leave that city and come to Brunswick.  The body will be carried to the home of Miss Jennie Franklin, 801 Monk street, where it will remain until 3:45 when the funeral will be held from the First Methodist church, Rev. W.P. Blevins and Rev. T.B. Sanford, of Douglas, conducting the services.  The following friends will act as pall bearers:  D.W. Krauss, H.F. duBignon, J.S.M. Symons, W.H. Greenfield, L.J. Leavy, Jr., R.G. Harley.  The interment will be in Oak Grove cemetery.

DEATH BY SUFFOCATION

            A man was found dead one day last week on board the barkentine Lotus, and a coroner’s jury rendered a verdict “that his death was occasioned from suffocation.”  It appears that he had been indulging in ardent spirits too freely during the early part of the previous night, and that he became so intoxicated, he fell, in the tool room of the vessel, face down in a bundle of loose oakum, and being too drunk to move after falling, died from suffocation.  What a lesson this sad fate should be to those who imbibe in the poisonous and ruinous liquid?

FATHER OF TEN DIES IN FIGHT ON ARCO STREET—John Vaughn Killed, Wife Wounded in Attack Near Home

            A father of ten children died and his estranged wife was seriously wounded in a knifing flowing an argument late yesterday afternoon in a residential area of Arco.
            Fatally wounded in the melee was John Wesley Vaughn, 44-year-old commercial fisherman. He died from a long knife wound on the lower part of the neck, apparently self-inflicted.
            Mrs. Alma Davis Vaughn, 41, was admitted to City Hospital in critical condition after receiving six slashes on the lip, shoulder, arm and face. She was released form City Hospital this morning.
            The knifing apparently took place after a brief argument in front of 8 Sycamore Street. Vaughn had ridden to Arco in a cab and got out of the vehicle when he saw Mrs. Vaughn on the street. The taxi driver told police that they were arguing when he drove off.
            Vaughn was found about 100 yards from the scene, having staggered that distance into a wooded area. He was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance but was pronounced dead on arrival.
            Mrs. Vaughn was found on the street.
            Mrs. Vaughn was employed as a shrimp peeler and breader at the Brunswick Quick Freeze plant and practically supported the family. The youngest child is three years old and the younger children were cared for during the day by an older daughter. Mrs. Vaughn and the children lived at 17 Eighth Street.
            The woman had filed a petition for divorce during the summer and had been separated from her husband for a couple of years. Mrs. Vaughn had secured a court order during the early part of the summer in an effort to keep the husband away from the home.
            Vaughn, who it was said was intoxicated at the time of the tragedy, worked as a commercial fisherman. He had a long police record, mainly for drunkenness, it was reported.
            An inquest will probably be held tomorrow morning. The knife used in the cutting belonged to Vaughn but police have not said who wielded the instrument. It was found in Vaughn’s hand.
            Vaughn’s survivors include his wife, 10 children, Mrs. Bernice Ward, Bradenton, Fla.; Miss Frances Vaughn, Waverly, Tenn; Misses Louise, Nancy and Mary Vaughn and Mrs. Hazel Godley, all of this city; John, Jr., James, David and Ray Vaughn, all of Brunswick; his mother, Mrs. Missouri Vaughn, four sisters, three brothers and four grandchildren also survive.
            Funeral arrangements will be announced later by the Miller Funeral Home. Pallbearers will be M.D. Grooms, Sr., Estus Durden, Charlie Butler, Preston Knight, Willie King and J.E. Anderson.

INQUEST PLANNED IN THE DEATH OF JOHN W. VAUGHN

            Coroner L.M. Harrison was scheduled to hold an inquest at the Miller Funeral Home this afternoon in connection with the death Tuesday afternoon of John Wesley Vaughn, who died as the result of a knife wound, following what officers said was an altercation with his wife, who also sustained knife wounds.
            Some facts concerning the affair are expected to come out at the inquest. As yet only the fact that the couple had the difficulty has been established, as officers who investigated will probably give information they have at the inquest.
            Mr. Vaughn, 46, was born in Brunswick and had resided here all of his life. He was a commercial fisherman, as has been stated. It was also stated yesterday in The Brunswick News that he and his wife had been separated for a couple of years. A relative said today, however, that they had been separated for only several weeks. It also was denied that the father of his 10 children did not provide support. The member of the family said Mr. Vaughn had contributed regularly to the support of his children, and it also was denied that he had a long police record, as stated. It was said he had been employed by various concerns in the city and had a good record with them. He was well known here, having spent his entire life in Brunswick.

A PROMISING YOUNG MAN DIES AT HIS FATHER’S RESIDENCE LAST NIGHT

            Mr. J. Wyly Verner, a bright and promising young and died at the residence of his father, Mr. J.J. Verner, on Hilliard street, last night, a few minutes after 7 o’clock.
            Mr. Verner was a well-known young business man and for quite a while he resided in Brunswick, Ga., where he was reckoned as one of the best stenographers of that city.
            He was stricken, however, about a month ago, with typhoid pneumonia.
            Steps were immediately taken for bringing the sufferer to Atlanta, and here, after his arrival, he was given every attention.
            The skill of the best physicians, however, was powerless against the encroachments of that malady which was fated to take his life.
            He was patiently resigned to his lot and met the approach of death with a calm and heroic fortitude.
            Mr. Verner has many friends in Atlanta who will be greatly shocked to learn of his sad death.
