NEGRO WORKMAN DIES SUDDENLY—JIM BAILEY FALLS ON BED AND EXPIRES WITHOUT
SPEAKING A WORD.
James Bailey, a negro employed as longshoreman at the Mallory docks,
dropped dead Tuesday night about 8 o’clock, and the body was shipped to
Darien yesterday morning for burial. Heart trouble is supposed to have
been the cause of death. Bailey
was about thirty-five years old and lived with
Alex Hardison, also colored, at
1109 1-2 Albany street.
The two men ate a lunch about three o’clock Tuesday afternoon, but
no supper, according to Hardison’s
story. They were watching the children playing about 7:30 o’clock Tuesday
night when Bailey got up, stating that he did not feel very well. He went to
his room and a moment later
Hardison says he heard him gasping for breath. He rushed to the room
and found Bailey lying across
the bed, gasping once or twice. An examination showed that he was dead. He
said nothing after going to his room.
The body was removed to the undertaking establishment of
John Byrd, colored, on the same
street. It was prepared for burial and sent to
Bailey’s old home at Darien
yesterday. Bailey was well
known among the longshoreman and was intending to return to work on the
Rio Grande’s cargo this
morning.

CARETAKER BAILEY
DROWNS ON CUMBERLAND ISLAND
One
of Cumberland Island's residents, described by friends as a man who never
had an enemy in his life, drowned Saturday while apparently attempting to
return his boat to shore in Christmas Creek.
Jesse
Bailey, 63, who had lived on
Cumberland for most of his life, was well known to visitors and residents
of the island.
He
was frequently seen piloting his small motorboat along the shoreline or in
the waters of Christmas Creek in search of fish and shellfish.
Mr.
Bailey was reported missing to
the National Park Service when he went to retrieve his boat after the noon
meal Saturday and did not return.
"Bailey
had gone out for oysters in the morning on Christmas Creek around the
Williams' residence. The creek
level on the mud flat was so low that he couldn't get his boat back in.
After lunch he went back for the boat and apparently drowned," said Deputy
Ricky
Sirmon of the Camden County
Sheriff's Department.
Mr.
Bailey's big black poodle Bushy
alerted islanders to his master's disappearance when he showed up barking
on the porch of George and
Audra Merrow, also
caretakers on the Candler estate.
Bushy would not calm down, but continued to bark, so
Merrow took the dog to the
creek where Bushy showed Merrow
the place Mr.
Bailey had entered the creek.
The
body of the missing man was discovered about 9:40 a.m. Sunday following a
search by officials of the Sheriff's Department, Department of Natural
Resources and Cumberland Island Park Service, said
Sirmon. Island residents
Larry
Miller and Carol
Ruckdeschel found the body on
an oyster bed.
Following the transfer of the body to the mainland, the cause of death was
determined to be as the result of accidental drowning, said
Gil
Kelley, deputy county coroner.
"He
was a colorful person and he will be missed," said
Grover
Henderson, of the man he
described as his friend and the friend of everyone who met him.
Henderson said that
Mr.
Bailey came to Cumberland Island in the 1930’s from Sapelo Island to
help build the Candler House at High Point and stayed on as caretaker of
the house.
"He
knew everyone who lived on the island from the Rockefellers and Carnegies
on down.
Jesse was one of the few people
I've known that everyone liked. He never had an enemy and that's rare in
the twentieth century," said
Henderson.
Known to many on the island for his gifts of clams, oysters and fish to
those he liked, Mr.
Bailey would often barter his
catch with the residents of the island, trading for the things which he
needed or wanted.
"He
knew more about fishing on Christmas Creek than any man on the island,"
said Henderson.
A
fishing trip with Mr.
Bailey was described by the
authors of Guale, the Golden Coast of Georgia, published in 1974.
In
a profile of Mr.
Bailey, his skillful search for
shellfish and lifestyle were described: "Jesse's real life is not lived in the society of men. His true home
is not on land, but down in the salt marsh of Christmas Creek."

DEATH OF NED BAILOR—VALUE OF CHARACTER
IN THE HUMBLEST CITIZEN STRIKINGLY ILLUSTRATED
On the 16th of December
Ned
Bailor died; on the 17th
he was buried. Who was Ned
Bailor?
A colored man of ripe old age, an [sic] humble worker, a member of
the African Baptist church, of the colored Masonic and Benevolent
societies; for years past a drayman on his own account, and engaged in
this work when prostrated by his last illness.
Truthful, hones, faithful, a leading singer in the church choir of
his church, treasurer of benevolent societies organized among his people,
he won and held the confidence of all, both white and black.
During the war he was in the service with
Mr.
Wiggins, of Waynesville in the
Fourth Georgia cavalry, acting as drummer. Since the organization of our
military company he has been its drummer.
At his funeral the colored Masons turned out in force, the church
was crowded with people, the Brunswick Riflemen marched to the colored
cemetery from the church and buried him with military honors. A more
striking tribute to true worth in the humblest station was never known
than this. It teaches to all, the highest and the humblest, the value of a
worthy life, the certainty of its recognition everywhere and under all
circumstances.

Telegraphic information was received in the city today of the death
yesterday in Hollywood, Cal., of
Harry S. Barkuloo, former

Denver, Colo. He has also resided in Battle
Creek, Mich., and other cities since leaving Brunswick, and had
made his home in Hollywood for some time.
Mr.
Barkuloo was a member of a well-known Brunswick family. He is a
brother of Miss
Tommie Barkuloo of this
city, and has a number of other relatives here. He is survived by his
widow and two daughters, Mrs.

DEATH OF MRS. M.M. BARKULOO
It becomes our sad and painful duty to chronicle the death of
Mrs. Barkuloo, of this
city. For two weeks past she had been suffering from a severe attack of
typhoid pneumonia, and on yesterday, she gently closed her eyes in quiet
sleep--that sleep from which she will awake on the resurrection morn.
Of her ability as a teacher; her devotion to her children, and her
quiet Christian spirit, no word from us is necessary—all who knew her can
testify to these. Left a widow in '73 by the death of
Col.
Barkuloo, and although of very
retiring disposition, she with true womanly courage braved the cares of
life and maintained her family, rather than lean upon others. Of her it
can well be said, "Truly she hath done what she could."
Having a large family connection this sad news carries mourning to
many a household. She leaves a family of four orphan children to mourn her
irreparable loss.

THE VICTIM DIED—A Negro Kills a
White Man in Brunswick
Brunswick, Ga. December 3—[Special]—William
Barkuloo was struck in the head
by John
Boatwright a negro laborer with a piece of scantling yesterday and
died this morning at 4 o’clock from the injuries received. The affair was
a cold blooded one. At the hour
Barkuloo died his murderer was arrested at his home on Dartmouth
street. Boatwright had just
gotten into his house and was in the act of undressing when he was made to
put on his clothes again by the officers, when he was taken to jail.
Barkuloo was foreman of
the lumber dock of Stillwell Millen & Co. and he discharged
Boatwright from his employ. The latter refused to go and stood
around making himself obnoxious. A truck had been run off the track and
Barkuloo having been led to
believe Boatwright did it
accused him. The negro replied “Whoever said I did it is a d—d liar.”
This angered Mr.
Barkuloo who seized a stick and struck at
Boatwright. The negro by this time got hold of a piece of wood the
same size that Barkuloo had and
struck the latter over the head. Mr.
Barkuloo fell unconscious and
was afterwards taken to his home where
Dr. H.
Burford was summoned.
Dr.
Blain was also called but despite their close attention and all that
loving hands could do Barkuloo
gradually sank until the hour of 4 o’clock this morning.
A reporter called at the jail this morning to see
Boatwright and learn what he had to say about the matter but was
refused admittance. The coroner was notified of the death of
Barkuloo but he sought the
advice of the solicitor general, who said that an inquest was unnecessary.
He was between thirty five and forty years of age, and leaves a wife to
mourn his sudden demise. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 10
o’clock a.m. from the First Baptist church. Excitement was high with talk
of lynching, but all is quiet tonight.

Boatwright and to learn what he
had to say about the matter, but was refused admittance. The coroner was
notified of the death of Barkuloo,
but he sought the advice of the solicitor-general, who said that an
inquest was unnecessary. He was between 45 and 46 years of age and leaves
a wife to mourn his sudden demise. The funeral will take place tomorrow at
10 o’clock a.m., from the First Baptist church. There was great excitement
here today and talk of lynching, but all is quiet tonight. No trouble is
anticipated by the officers.

ENTERED INTO REST—Tribute of a Glynn County Lady to an
Estimable Colored Woman.
On Tuesday, May 5, Charlotte Barnwell, colored,
wife of Nicholas Barnwell, Sr. died at the home of her niece near Waynesville,
aged 70 years, and amid a large assembly of relatives and friends. All that is
mortal was laid to rest by the side of her husband the following Thursday. The
casket was freighted with beautiful flowers, contributed by friends, both white
and colored, for all respected and loved “Aunt Charlotte.”
For forty years she had been a dutiful member of the Baptist church,
and her life was so upright and true we all feel she was fully prepared to meet
her God. In her death not only her relatives, but the community at large has
sustained a great loss. A nurse by profession, she spent the greater part of
her useful life at the bedside of the sick, and there are countless numbers of
both colors who have received her faithful services.—A FRIEND.

LEWIS W. BEACH DIES HERE SUNDAY AFTER LONG ILLNESS

perhaps the city’s oldest native, passed away Sunday afternoon at the

in Brunswick and Glynn County. In his earlier days he served for some time
as city police chief and in that position made an outstand [sic] record.
He later became tidewater commissioner with the Georgia Game and Fish
Department, and at the time of his death was a member of the Glynn County
Democratic executive committee.
During World War I Mr. Beach received a Navy commission and
was assigned to a mine sweeper as commander. Always active in politics, he
was one of the leaders here in the unsuccessful fight in 1928 to elect the
late Al Smith President.
Mr. Beach was a member of the Knights of Pythias, the
American Legion and for many years was an active member of the local Elks
Lodge. He later was elected to honorary life membership. He was a member
of McKendree Methodist Church.
Survivors include his widow; three daughters, Mrs. H.K. Lamb
and Mrs. C.M. Maloy, both of Brunswick; and Mrs. Gilbert Madray,
Charleston, S.C. A number of nieces and nephews, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren also survive.

LONG ILLNESS.
After a lingering illness extending over many months, Mrs. Maria
Harris Bean, an old Brunswickian, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
L.J. Leavy, at ten o’clock yesterday morning. Up to a few months ago, the
deceased, though in her eighty-fourth year, was very active and for one so
advanced in years, was possessed of wonderful vitality. At that time, however,
she became afflicted with some nervous troubles of the face, necessitating
several operations. She suffered with these and her years together caused a
rapid decline, and for weeks and weeks she has been critical. As stated above,
Mrs. Bean would have been 84 years old on December 24th, having been
born on St. Simons island, Dec. 24th, 1824. Mrs. Bean was a pioneer
Brunswickian, belonging to the old Harris family, who were prominent in the
community in the ante-bellum days. She was married to Oren S. Bean in 1838 and

H.L. Hine of this city and George W. Bean of Florida. She is also survived by
seventeen grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren among whom are Messrs.
Clarence H. Arthur, H. and L.J. Leavy, Jr. She was a sister of the late Lewis
W. Harris, at one time prominent in the city and is an aunt of Hiram J. Read,
the present tax collector of Glynn County.
Mrs. Bean was loved by a large circle of friends to whom her many
womanly graces and noble traits of character endeared her.
The funeral will occur from St. Mark’s Episcopal church at ten
o’clock this morning. Rev. D. Watson Winn officiating. The interment will
occur in Oak Grove cemetery. The following gentlemen, all Confederate veterans,
will act as pall bearers: Dr. W.B. Burroughs, Hon. T.W. Lamb, Judge J.T.
Lambright, Judge Horace Dart, Judge George E. Fahm, and J.R. Morton, Esq.
The members of the family have the deep sympathy of a large circle
of friends, where the death of this truly good woman has caused genuine sorrow.

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.
BEE, Barnard E.
The Atlanta Constitution; Friday 18 November 1887; pg. 4 col. 5
COLONEL BEE’S DEATH—The Close of a Remarkable Career in
Savannah
SAVANNAH, Ga, November 17—(Special)—The
community was shocked today by the sudden death of Colonel Barnard E. Bee, clerk
of the superior court. At seven o’clock this morning his servant began to
assist him to dress. Before the servant had finished, Colonel Bee complained of
a severe pain in his side, and asked to be immediately put back in bed. He
appeared to partly swoon away. His family were called, and within fifteen
minutes he was dead.
Barnard Elliott Bee was born in Savannah, and at the time of his
death was in his sixtieth year. He was a son of Captain William Bee, an officer
in the American army in the war of 1812. When a young man, B.E. Bee was
employed as a clerk in the office of Isaac Cohen, a merchant on Bay street.
While with Mr. Cohen, in 1848, Mr. Bee fell through a trap door in one of the
buildings on the bay. It was thought at first that his injuries would be
fatal. He survived the fall, but was a cripple for life. In 1852 he was
elected receiver of tax returns, which office he held until a few years ago,
when he resigned. He was once a candidate for ordinary, but was not elected.
Then he was elected clerk of the superior court, the first term of which expired
last January, when he was re-elected. Governor Stephens appointed him as
lieutenant colonel of his staff. Both were cripples and used wheeled chairs, a
fact that caused a great deal of playful and pathetic comment when Colonel Bee
called upon the governor during the city’s sesquicentennial in 1883. The county
commissioners appointed Deputy Clerk J.K.P. Carr to succeed Colonel Bee until an
election could be held. Mr. Carr has been in office seventeen years. The
vacancy had to be filled at once. Tuesday last was return day for the December
term of the superior court.
There were a number of papers for the clerk to sign and give to the
sheriff to serve. These papers have to be served within five days and the time
expires on Monday. The clerk appoints his own deputy, and hence when the clerk
died his deputy, Mr. J.K.P. Carr, could not legally act longer. If the clerk’s
office remains vacant several suits will have to go over for another term. The
commissioners of Chatham county have the power of filling all vacancies. Judge
Adams was consulted, and he advised them to appoint a clerk without delay. The
board accordingly met at twelve o’clock and appointed Mr. James K.P. Carr.
Notice of the appointment will be forwarded to Atlanta tonight. Governor Gordon
will probably receive it tomorrow, sign a commission for Mr. Carr and mail it so
that it will reach Savannah on Saturday morning. If there is no delay, he can
qualify on Saturday and sign as clerk such papers as are to be turned over to
the sheriff.

DIED
On the 24th ult., in this city, Mrs. Laura Bee, wife of Mr. Wm.
Joseph Bee and mother of Judge George B. Mabry. A sad household indeed is
that. No wife to cheer and comfort the one, and no mother’s love to sooth the
other.
One by one we pass away and are gathered “on the other side of the
river,” where parting is unknown. May a kind Father heal the bleeding hearts,
and may this dispensation of His providence prove a benefit to us all.

TWO
AGED RESIDENTS, SISTERS, PASS AWAY—MRS. AMELIA BELL DIES IN ST. AUGUSTINE, MRS.
SARAH JONES IN JACKSONVILLE.
Two of Brunswick’s oldest residents, sisters, well known and beloved
by [a] wide circle of friends, are dead. One, Mrs. Amelia A. Bell, passed away
at 11 o’clock Sunday morning in St. Augustine, Fla., where she had been residing
for some time, and the other, Mrs. Sarah Jones, died at 8 o’clock this morning
at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. May Couillard [sic], in Jacksonville, who
she had been visiting for the past two months.
Mrs. Bell has made her home in Brunswick practically all of her life
removing to St. Augustine about two years ago to reside with one of her
children. She was 75 years of age and was known and loved by an unusually large

completed, pending the arrival of relatives in the city, but it will be held
sometime tomorrow afternoon.
Mrs. Jones, sister of the deceased, died in Jacksonville this
morning, following a short illness. She was 89 years of age and has resided in
Brunswick and Glynn county all of her life. For many years she has lived here
with her daughter, Mrs. W.A. Hackett, on Sycamore street, Windsor Park.
Mrs. Jones was a life long member of St. Mark’s Episcopal church,
and she, too, was known and loved by an unusually wide circle of friends. The

The deceased is survived by four children, Mrs. May Coullard [sic],
of Jacksonville; Mrs. Edgar Foust, Tampa; Mrs. W.E. Evans, Miami, and Mrs. W.A.

SIX BELIEVE DROWNED—No
Hope for Crew of Brunswick Tug.
Brunswick,
Ga., January 6—Hope for the safety of any of the six members of the crew
of the tug Rambler, wrecked off Cumberland island near here Monday during
a heavy sea, were abandoned tonight.
The bodies of the two negro crew members were found on the
beach today, together with portions of the clothing of the four white
men. Wreckage was strewn for two miles along the coast.
The Rambler was wrecked after going aground and while the crew
was waiting for high tide to float the vessel.
The missing and dead include Harry Ingram, captain; Carlos U.
Dart, engineer; George Bell, fireman; Charles Segui, fisherman; Henry
Roberts, negro deck hand, and Dave Smith, negro cook.

SIX PERISH WHEN TUG IS BEATEN TO
PIECES—TUG RAMBLER IS WRECKED OFF CUMBERLAND ISLAND AND CREW LOST—TWO
BODIES RECOVERED
MACON, Ga., Jan. 6.—Six
men were lost off Little Cumberland Monday night, when the tug Rambler was
wrecked, every one of the crew losing their lives. News of the wreck
developed today with the finding of two bodies. The dead:
Harry Ingram, captain.
Carlos U. Dart, engineer.
George Bell, fireman.
Charles Segui, fisherman.
Henry Roberts, negro deck hand.
Dave Smith, negro cook.
The Rambler left Brunswick Monday morning at 7 o’clock. About
11 o’clock the tug went ashore just one-half mile off Little Cumberland
beach. The boat was half filled with water and members of the crew went
ashore in a small boat, secured buckets and bailed out their boat. A
passing launch went to their assistance, but when she arrived all six
members of the crew were on the top of the cabin house, laughing and
joking, not realizing the danger they were in. The launch offered
assistance, but Captain Ingram stated his tug would be successfully
floated with high water.
However, when the tide began to flood a strong northeast wind
arose and it is believed before the Rambler could be floated she was
crushed to pieces by the heavy sea which was reported to be rolling high.
Searchers left Brunswick during Tuesday and this morning on the beach at
Little Cumberland the bodies of the two negroes were found. What became
of the white men is unknown, except parts of their clothing were found on
the beach. Wreckage was strewn for miles along the coast.

RAMBLER HAD NO LIFE RAFT AT TIME OF
WRECK—Old One Had Been Condemned at Brunswick—REMOVED, NOT
REPLACED—Steamboat Inspectors Arrive at Brunswick to Investigate the
Disaster Which Cost Lives of Six Men on Coast of Little Cumberland Island.
BRUNSWICK, Jan. 9.—W.B.
Lee and E.G. Fitzgerald, steamboat inspectors of this district, with
headquarters in Savannah, arrived in the city today for the purpose of
making an investigation into the wreck of the little tug Rambler a few
days ago, in which the lives of six persons were lost. Strange to relate,
these inspectors were in Brunswick Tuesday for the purpose of inspecting
the Rambler and they were awaiting her return to port when the news was
received that she had been wrecked and that the entire crew had been lost.
On a recent inspection of the Rambler the inspectors condemned
the life raft which had been carried by the tug. It was removed and
placed on her wharf but was not replaced, and it is now pointed out that
had the tug carried a proper life raft probably the lives of all six men
would have been saved. It was not discovered that the raft was not aboard
until an investigation was made, and at first it was thought that the crew
had not been drowned, but that they were adrift somewhere on the raft.
BODIES STILL MISSING—The bodies of Capt. Harry Ingram,
Engineer Charles Dart, and George Bell and Charles Segui, the four white
men on the tug, have not yet been recovered, although searching parties
have been out every day since the wreck and have patrolled the beach along
Little Cumberland in the hope that the bodies would be washed ashore.
Only the bodies of the two negro members of the crew have been recovered.
This unfortunate accident has cast a shadow of gloom over the
entire city, owing to the popularity of some of the unfortunate men lost.
Captain Ingram and Engineer Dart, who were the owners of the Rambler, were
well known in Brunswick, having resided here practically all of their
lives. They were both married and leave a wife and two or three children
each. They were considered two of the most capable sea faring men engaged
in marine work around these waters, and for that reason hope for their
safety was held out to the very last.

90-YEAR-OLD NEGRO KNEELS IN PRAYER AS HIS LIFE ENDS
Wesley Bell, 90-year-old negro, was deeply
religious.
Even in his declining years his religion was his greatest activity.
Unable to do manual labor and earn his livelihood, Father Time
pauperized the aged negro. He became a ward of the city poor house.
From slavery days in the ante-bellum days, “Old Wesley” never
shunned his religion and his prayers.
Early yesterday the feeble darkey went about his daily routine in
the poor house and about 8 o’clock in the morning kneeled by the side of his bed
to offer prayers to his Maker.
There he was found a short time later—his head leaning on the bed,
his arms outstretched—kneeling where he uttered his final mortal words with
God—dead!
He died as he would have had it—on his knees praying to his
Almighty.
A Christian, but a pauper, the former slave will be given a decent,
but simple burial in pauper’s field.

RUN
OVER AND KILLED
To chronicle the death of anyone is a sad duty but peculiarly so
when the death be a violent one, as was the case of Mr. Wm. Bell, of Macon,
which occurred in our city last Wednesday night, about midnight. It seems he
had been drinking during the day, and had lain down under one of the cars on the
track in front of the Cotton Press. Whilst the early lumber train was being
made up, the car under which he was lying was pushed forward, and the
unfortunate man caught and carried along several feet, his leg broken and
internal injuries received that caused his death in three hours. Officer
McCrary was standing near when the poor fellow first cried out, and had the
train stopped, but too late.
Mr. Bell was formerly of Fernandina, but is now of Macon, where his
wife resides, and whither his remains were sent Thursday night. He was at one
time foreman of the M. & B. machine shops, and also of the M. & W.

CEMETERY DEDICATED—The First Burial.
Sometime ago a gentleman
named William Bernhard appeared in this city trying to get an appointment
as nurse to the sufferers of Florida. He was taken sick whilst boarding
at Mr. Jos. Doerflingers [sic], and died there. After he had been ill
several days his money gave out, but that made no difference in the
treatment received; Mr. Doerflinger continued to take care of him. Dr.
Bottsford [sic] visited him regularly, and Messrs. Hodges & O’Connor
continued to furnish him medicine.
A stranger in a strange land, he was not left to suffer, but
good Samaritans nursed and nourished him, and Sunday he was laid away to
rest in the new cemetery. The Jewish Rabbi, Mr. Rosenburg, first
dedicated the spot with appropriate ceremonies, and then the form of the
Jewish stranger who had died in our midst was laid away to rest, the first
in the newly dedicated grounds.
Among the baggage of the stranger were several newspaper
notices, the latest of which was from an Augusta paper, announcing that he
would leave the next day for Florida to secure a place as a nurse to the
yellow fever sufferers. In the article was his treatment of yellow fever,
etc., showing that he was no novice in the business.

PEYTON BISHOP FATALLY HURT IN U.S. 17 MISHAP—Automobile Crashes Into Rear End of
Tractor-Trailer
Peyton Wade Bishop, 2002 Ellis street, was fatally injured last
night when the car which he was driving ploughed into the rear of a
tractor-trailer on U.S. Highway 17 on Blythe Island.
The 35-year-old veteran died without regaining consciousness soon
after reaching City Hospital.
Thomas H. Long of Glen Burnie, Md., the operator of the
tractor-trailer, was unhurt.
Coroner L.M. Harrison announced that an inquest into the death will
be conducted this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
County police quoted Long as saying he was traveling north on U.S.
17 and his vehicle was barely moving. He said he was preparing to turn into a
service station on the left side of the highway and was waiting for the lane for
south-bound traffic to become clear.
At this juncture, he told police, he observed the car which Bishop
was driving approaching at a high rate of speed from the rear. Long began
blinking his tail lights frantically in an effort to attract Bishop’s attention
to the tractor-trailer.
The driver of the car applied his brakes, and the automobile skidded
120 feet before crashing into the rear end of the tractor-trailer with a
terrific impact, sufficient to demolish the car.
Bishop, the victim of a brain injury, was carried to the hospital in
an ambulance.
One of the witnesses listed by police was Edwin Boartfield, another
resident of Maryland. His truck was in front of the tractor-trailer, and like
Long, he had slowed down to turn into the service station.
Funeral arrangements for the victim are incomplete and will be
announced later by the Miller Funeral Home.
Bishop was a native of Dawson and lived her with his brother, H.O.
Bishop. Other survivors are his mother, Mrs. Minnie Pearl Britt of Dawson, five
half-brothers and one half-sister.

DEATH OF MRS. J.S. BLAIN
We are pained to announce the death of Mrs. J.S. Blain, wife of Dr.
Blain, of this city, which occurred on the evening of the 26th after an illness
of many weeks. She had been, for some time, conscious that she would die, but
expressed no fear or alarm, meeting it with Christian fortitude and giving many
directions concerning her family.— On Monday evening last, she passed away
without a struggle. In her death, the family sustain an irreparable loss, and
society loses a bright jewel. To that fond mother, that affectionate husband,
those motherless children, besides a large number of near relatives and warm
friends, we extend, in behalf of our entire people, their heartfelt sympathy.

FINAL
TRIBUTE IS PAID MISS BLAIN BY LOCAL FRIENDS
Impressive funeral services for Miss Maria C. Blain, who passed away
Saturday morning, were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at St. Mark's
Episcopal church, of which she was one of the founders. Dr. Royal K. Tucker,
rector, conducted the services, paying high tribute to this remarkable Christian
character. Dr. Tucker announced that a book of memory would be placed in the
church, containing the names of all parishioners representing a perpetual thank
offering in honor and memory of Miss Blain, who had played such a significant
part in the early history of St. Mark's church.
Many beautiful floral tributes banked the chancel, attesting the love
and esteem in which "Miss Maria" was held.
The funeral was attended by scores of friends, including detachments
from the Brunswick Riflemen, of which Miss Blain was an honorary member; from
the Oglethorpe Guards, and a delegation from the Brunswick fire department
headed by Chief Harrison. In attendance were also representatives of the
Clement A. Evans chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, of which "Miss
Maria" was honorary lite[?] president, and the Maria C. Blain chapter, Children
of the Confederacy. The city and county, the Masonic order, and the civic clubs
of the city were also represented at the funeral to pay a last loving tribute to
Miss Blain, who had become a real Brunswick institution, during her long and
useful life.
The choir, composed of Mrs. W.M. Oates, Miss Sadie Dart, Mrs. Al Womack,
Don Sheffield, and Dr. John Paul Jones, beautifully rendered two hymns, "Art
Thou Weary" and "Thy Will be Done," while Guy Hackett, organist, softly played
"Lead Kindly Light," preceding the service. These three hymns have been
favorites in the Blain family for several generations, being sung at the funeral
of Miss Blain's grandmother, and on through the years.
Services were concluded at the graveside in Oak Grove cemetery, Dr.
Tucker officiating.
A military guard of honor accompanied the body to its last resting place
where "Miss Maria" was tenderly laid to rest.

JAMES BLOUNT, 51, COUNTY RESIDENT SHOOTS HIMSELF
Jas. Blount, 51-year-old Glynn county resident, ended his life Saturday
afternoon near his home on the canal road, eight miles from Brunswick, shooting
his head off with a single barrelled [sic] shotgun, and Coroner J.D. Baldwin
said after an investigation that it was unquestionably suicide.
According to evidence secured by the coroner Blount returned to his home
Saturday afternoon and acted queerly. He went into his house and picked up the
single-barrel shotgun with which he ended his life. Members of his family
became frightened, the coroner was told, and fled from the house. They walked
some distance up the road and heard a report of the gun. Returning, Blount was
found in the yard of his home, his head practically blown off. It was evident
he placed the gun close to his head and pulled the trigger.
A coroner's jury yesterday, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict
that the man came to his death from a shotgun wound self-inflicted.
Blount had resided in Glynn county for many years and was well known in
the vicinity in which he resided and elsewhere. The only reason assigned for
his act was that he had been despondent for some time. He is survived by his
widow and five children.
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon, burial being in Palmetto
cemetery.

A Young Woman Weds Her Wounded Sweetheart to Nurse Him
Augusta, Nov 7—John H. Blount of Tifton, Ga.
was married here under peculiar circumstances. While en route to this city the
train was derailed and a blood vessel of his abdomen ruptured. When he reached
this city he was taken to a hotel, where he was forced to go to bed.
Miss Hatcher of Brunswick, his fiancé, went to his room, and while
there was married to him before her brother and several witnesses. She has not
left his bedside, as his condition is very serious.

WEDDED TO A WOUNDED LOVER—A Brunswick Girl Who May Pass From Maidenhood
to Widowhood
August, Ga., Nov. 7.—A romantic but at the same time pathetic
marriage took place in Augusta to-day at the Arlington hotel. Miss
Annie E. Hatcher is a refugee here from Brunswick. She is a sister of
Policeman Hatcher of this city, and has been here during the
Brunswick epidemic. She was engaged to be married to J.H. Blount of
Tifton, who is a railroad conductor, and the time for the marriage having
arrived Mr. Blount came here for the happy event. He left home
yesterday morning, and between Macon and Atlanta was caught in a railroad
accident on the East Tennessee railroad and sustained severe internal
injuries. He would not stop in Atlanta and go to the hospital, but hurried
on to Augusta to keep his plighted troth. He arrived last night and went
to the Arlington hotel, where he had to go to bed at once, finding himself
unable to bear it any longer.
WORD SENT TO HIS SWEETHEART—He sent word to his sweetheart that he
was here, but unable to leave his bed. Her brother went to the hotel and
found Mr. Blount suffering great pain from severe injuries and at
once summoned a doctor, who pronounced him dangerously hurt.
Miss Hatcher insisted upon going to hi and remaining in his
room to nurse him. Her brother would only consent to her remaining there
as Mr. Blount’s wife, and she promptly said, “Then send for a
preacher.” Rev. G.W. Walker was summoned, and standing by the
bedside of her suffering lover, she became his wife. Mr. Blount is
in critical condition, having repeated internal hemorrhages, and it is
feared the brave young girl will pass from maidenhood to widowhood.
Conductor Blount is one of the best known and most popular
railroad men in Waycross and many warm friends join us in sympathy to
Mr. Blount’s sister, Mrs. Sydboten, of this city, and to the
brave and noble young girl whose love was so true and loyal that she
married her lover with the dread prospect staring here in the face that
forty-eight hours would probably witness her in the triple position of
maid, wife and widow.
We sincerely trust that God in his infinite love and mercy will
spare this young man and that he may be restored to his young bride,
relatives and friends in his wonted health at no far distant day.
Since the above in type we learn that Mr. Blount is somewhat
better.

INJURED IN A WRECK—BUT WOMAN’S LOVE RISES TRIUMPHANT—And to Nurse Her
Affianced Husband Back to Health and Happiness, Miss Hatcher Weds Mr.
Blount, Who is Possibly Fatally Injured
Under the heading of “A Woman’s Devotion” the Augusta Chronicle, of
yesterday, gives the following account of the sad accident which befell
Mr. Jas. A. [sic] Blount, on the E.T., V. & G. road, and his
subsequent marriage in Augusta. The gentleman in question has a host of
friends in Albany, where he has been running for several years as a
conductor on the B&W road, and all sympathize deeply with him in his
misfortune, and hope to hear of his early recovery.
Following is the Chronicle’s report:
Mr. J.H. Blount, of Tifton, Gal, was married in bed in his
room 76 at the Arlington Hotel 5 o’clock last afternoon to Miss Annie
E. Hatcher.
They were to have been married yesterday morning at the home of the
bride’s aunt, Mrs. L. Hopkins, on the corner of D’Antignac and
Kollock streets, where all arrangements for the ceremony had been made,
but in coming to Augusta Monday, to fulfill his engagement, Mr. Blount
was caught in a railroad accident and was seriously and probably fatally
injured.
He was traveling on the East Tennessee Virginia and Georgia
railroad going from Macon to Atlanta, when the coach in which he was
riding was derailed and partially overturned. Mr. Blount was thrown
forward heavily and sustained internal hurts. The blood vessel leading to
the abodmen [sic] was lacerated and he has been bleeding almost
incessantly from these injuries and his condition is considered very
precarious, still the doctors have faint hopes for his recovery.
The bridegroom arrived in Augusta Manday [sic] evening on the
Georgia train and went to the Arlington and immediately sent word to
Miss Hatcher of his misfortune.
Yesterday morning Miss Hatcher, who is a sister of
Policeman E.B. Hatcher, and who is a refugee from Brunswick, having
fled from the plague-stricken city with her aunt, Mrs. John Harris,
after the yellow fever was declared epidemic, and came to Augusta, went to
the hotel to call on Mr. Blount.
The young lady was horrified when her eyes behold the form of the
intensely suffering man who had come here to make her his wife. She was
greatly distressed and perceptibly overcome, but she summoned her womanly
courage and determined to marry the man she loved, that she may remain
with him, in order to nurse, care for and guard over him and render her
kind and gentle aid to alleviate his pain.
Miss Hatcher informed her brother that she would marry
Mr. Blount, though he was unable to leave bed.
Mr. Hatcher agreed to his sister’s wishes and arrangements
for the ceremony were prepared.
Rev. Mr. Walker, of the Kollock street Baptist church, was
sent for, a license was procured and the preacher married the couple.
Mr. Blount, who retains consciousness, was lying out
straight in bed and the young lady sat by his bedside and they clasped
hands and were thus united in the presence of several witnesses.
Mrs. Blount has remained constantly at the bedside of her
husband andn though with a sad heart and enduring mental anguish like a
ministering angel that she is, she retains her fortitude and gently and
tenderly cares for her betrothed with the fond love of a true, devoted and
anxious wife.
Mr. Blount is a young man who is employed as a railroad
conductor and it is indeed sad that this terrible accident should have
befallen him while he was on a journey with the happy anticipations of
becoming sacredly united with the woman he longed to call his wife.
Dr. H.H. Malone is attending Mr. Blount and he has
some hopes of Mr. Blount’s recovery though it is difficult to tell
for some hours yet what the consequences will be.
At midnight last night he was resting easy.

life and death since the bullet, narrowly missing his heart, pierced a lung.
Blount told officers, who went to his home to investigate the
shooting and before he was removed to the hospital that he was to [sic] old to
work, was tired of living, and said he shot himself. "I'd rather be dead than
be in the fix I am in," he was quoted as telling the officers.
Blount had resided in Thalmann district practically all of his
life. He had been in bad health for the past two or three years, it was stated

BOMBARD, John
The Augusta Chronicle; Sunday 26 January 1997; pg. 5C
Caption: JETTA FRASER/ASSOCIATED PRESS—John
Bombard's face is captured in a photo that rests on the 4-year-old's
donated casket as Amazing Grace is sung Tuesday in Brunswick, Ga. John's
parents left town, leaving his body unclaimed and three children in the
care of the Georgia Department of Family and Children's Services.
A lack of money, not grief, kept Michelle
Parker away from the funeral of her 4-year-old son, who was buried in a
donated grave after she abandoned him the day he died.
She didn't know state authorities would have given her a ride.
“I want to say thank you to all the people' who organized and
paid for the funeral,” Ms. Parker said Friday. “I would have come if it
had been possible.”
John Bombard was overcome by exhaust fumes Jan. 2 while riding
in the camper shell of his family's pickup truck. His mother and
stepfather, moving from Sunbury, Pa., to Florida, found him when they
stopped at a rest area on Interstate 95 near Brunswick.
They continued on to Florida, but their three other children
were placed in protective custody. The couple did not have the money to
take John to Florida and bury him, said Clyde Burgit, Ms. Parker's
common-law husband.
John was buried Tuesday in a donated grave at Palmetto
Cemetery. The service, arranged by Brunswick residents, was attended by
about 150 people.
“It was a horrible accident,” Mr. Burgit said. “It wasn't our
fault. The only thing Michelle and I are guilty of is moving our family.
We love our kids.”
The couple left Pennsylvania thinking it would be easier to
find jobs in Florida, Ms. Parker said. Mr. Burgit is working as a cook,
but she said she has not found a job.
Ms. Parker, 26, began to weep as she talked about John, who
loved toy cars and trucks and was protective of his 9-month-old sister.
“He was a sweet little boy,” Ms. Parker said.
Mr. Burgit, 31, said they want to regain custody of their
infant daughter, his 3-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son from a
previous marriage.
The three are now living in a foster home in Glynn County,
where a Juvenile Court judge has ruled they should remain for now.
Ms. Parker's cousin, Diane Allen of Shamokin, Pa., said their
family will have a memorial service at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Trinity Lutheran
Church in Shamokin, about 18 miles from Sunbury in central Pennsylvania.
Family members organized the service after talking with Ms.
Parker this week.
The Atlanta Journal & The Atlanta Constitutions;
Sunday 26 January 1997; pg. 2G
John Bombard, abandoned by his parents a
few hours after he died, was not alone when he was buried.
More than 200 people gathered at a donated grave for services
for the 4-year-old Pennsylvania boy they never knew.
As a saxophone accompanied a version of "Amazing Grace," an
honor guard of Brunswick firefighters, city and county police officers and
Boy Scouts, all in their dress uniforms, stood at attention.
The casket was bought with contributions from Brunswick and
Glynn County police officers. It was adorned with three teddy bears, an
angel and a spray of fresh flowers.
The child died Jan. 2 of carbon monoxide poisoning while
riding in the camper shell of a pickup truck as his family was moving from
Sunbury, Pa., to Tampa, Fla., where his parents hoped to find work.
John's death was ruled accidental. He had been dead for at
least four hours when his parents made the discovery at a rest area on
I-95 near Brunswick.
Three young siblings who also inhaled the toxic exhaust were
treated at a local hospital but did not require hospitalization. The
children - a 3-year-old stepsister, 4-year-old stepbrother and 9-month-old
sister -were taken into protective custody. Their parents continued south.
They did not return for the funeral.

FORMER BRUNSWICK MINSTER IS DEAD—Rev. Dr. Boone, who Fought Yelow Fever
Here, Passes Away
Those of our old citizens who resided in Brunswick during the
yellow fever in 1878 will remember Dr. Thomas Boone, who was here
at the time and who remained at his post and fought the dreaded scourge to
the end. The old Brunswickians, and there are probably a few of them, will
regret to learn that he died in New York Thursday. A dispatch sent out
from New York yesterday on his death was as follows:
New York, Jan. 6—Rev. Dr. Thomas Boone, rector of a
Protestant Episcopal church at Gilbertsville, N.Y. is dead at the home of
his sister in New York. Dr. Boone was well known to the clergy, and
his brother Rev. William Jones Boone, is now Episcopal bishop of
China.
Dr. Boone was for many years rector of Christ church,
Savannah, Ga. During the yellow fever scourge in Brunswick, Ga., in 1878,
Dr. Boone was rector of the Episcopal church there are because
[sic] of his ministerings to person of all creeds was dearly beloved in
that city.
The rector and his wife were stricken by the disease and Mrs.
Boone died.

BRUNSWICK, April 9.—The funeral of Miss Bertha
Borchardt, who died suddenly at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. Lilenthal, took
place yesterday afternoon, and was attended by an unusually large number of
friends of this well known and popular young woman.
Miss Borchardt had not been in the best of health recently, having
just recovered from an operation. However she was on the road to recovery and
had been out among her friends. Wednesday morning she arose as usual and was in

BOWLING, Foster
The Brunswick Times; Wednesday Morning, 3 May 1899
Died on St. Simons
Softly the angel of death kissed the bright eyes of little Foster,
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Parker Bowling, who had only seen life’s sunshine for
one short year, and the little hands were folded over the little heart and he
had fallen asleep. In the quaint old moss draped graveyard at Frederica, loving
hands laid the little one to rest. There are aching hearts in the home from
which he was taken, and another sweet flower added to the garden of Heaven.

BRIGGS DIES AS
RESULT OF FALLING FROM WINDOW—Coroner Whitfield Declares Autopsy Over Aged
Man Will Not Be Necessary—SKULL WAS NOT FRACTURED—X-Ray Pictures Fail to
Reveal Extent of Injuries to Veteran of Civil War—Accident Occurred
Wednesday.
That
Richard Briggs, who died at Memorial
Hospital yesterday morning at 5:35 o’clock, met death as a result of
falling from a window so that no autopsy is necessary, was the opinion of
Coroner J.M. Whitfield
last night, who said that he believed
Briggs either fell or jumped from the
window.
X-ray pictures failed to show that hiss
skull was fractured, as was first supposed, thus leaving in some doubt as
to whether an autopsy would be necessary or not.
The man came here only a short time ago
from Washington, according to
Detective-Sergeant Gentry and
Smith, who made
a thorough investigation of the case. He appeared to be about sixty-five
or seventy years old and was a pensioner, having served with the Federal
forces in the War Between the States and drawing $50 a month from the

WHITE MAN KILLED BY BLOW FROM A NEGRO—Fatal Difficulty Near Bladen Tuesday
Night—NEGRO IS STILL AT LARGE—The Dead Man Was a Brother to Mrs. Joseph Lasserre
of This City
At Owens’ store, four miles from Bladen on the F.C. and P. railroad
Tuesday night, Mr. Brown, brother of Mrs. Joseph Lasserre, of this city, was
brained by a negro and the murderer is still at large.
Mr. Brown clerks in the store and when he refused the negro credit
it was the sign for a fuss. After abusing Mr. Brown considerably he showed
fight and reaching for a scantling he struck him in the head scattering his
brains for many yards around.
As soon as he committed the terrible crime the negro made good his
escape and up to the present has not been captured.
The murdered man was formerly from Camden county. He has visited
Brunswick on several occasions and had many friends here who will be grieved to
hear of the terrible affair.

MURDERER OF BROWN GIVES UP TO SHERIFF—An Old Negro Surrenders to
Authorities—TELLS A PECULIAR STORY—Says He Never Struck Mr. Brown With
Scantling, But Only a Blow With His Fist
There is in the murderer’s cell of the Glynn county jail at present
an old-time-Georgia darkey, who says he is 63 years old, but from all
appearances, he is not a day less than 80.
And this old negro is on a very serious charge, one that may cost
him his life, but he does not seem to realize what he has done.
This old negro, Charley Harvey by name, is the man who murdered Mr.
Brown at Owens’ store, near Bladen, on last Tuesday night, a full account of
which appeared in yesterday’s TIMES-CALL. Harvey was not seen after the murder
was committed until yesterday morning, when he came to Brunswick and surrendered
to Sheriff Berrie.
A representative of the TIMES-CALL went to the jail to see the old
negro, and he was found asleep in his cell, and it took several good knocks on
the iron door to awake him from his slumbers. The reporter told the old-timer
that he wanted an honest account of how the killing occurred, and he started
off:
“Well, boss, I never did think dat I would be behind dese bars for
killin’ a white man, but I is, I spose,” said Harvey, and then he went on to
tell his story, which, in substance, was as follows:
Mr. Brown was employed as a clerk in Mr. Owens’ store, and the negro
was also employed by Mr. Owens at his residence. He wanted some whiskey, and
says that Mr. Owens told him to go to the store and get it, but Mr. Brown
refused to let the darkey have it without the money, and a quarrel was the
result. According to the negro’s statement, he was followed out of the store by
Mr. Brown, and was struck across the head twice by him with a piece of wood,
although he showed no signs of any blows. The negro says that he then picked up
a piece of scantling, but that Brown took it away from him, and he hit him
(Brown) with his fist just above the right ear, and that he fell to the ground,
his head hitting heavily on the hard ground, “and if he am dead, boss, dat is
jes what kilt him,” said the negro. Harvey said that he then left the scene of
the difficulty and as soon as he was informed that Mr. Brown was dead, he
started to Brunswick to surrender to the sheriff, and rented a boat to com over
from Fancy Bluff. He reached the city about 10:30 o’clock yesterday morning,
went directly to the jail, and told the above story.
So far, we have heard of no eye witnesses to the killing, and it is,
therefore, impossible to give Brown’s side of the case. The negro said that
there were two people who saw it all, but if it is true, they have not let it be
known.

AT HIS POST OF
DUTY HE FALLS—JOE BROWNING CRUSHED TO DEATH YESTERDAY MORNING—Received the
Fatal Injury by Southern Engine No. 1061 While Attempting to Make a
Coupling.
Joseph D. Browning,
for many years an employe [sic[ of the Southern railway, and for the last
two or three years yard foreman of that line in this city, but more
recently employed by the Plant Section, was killed by Southern Railway
engine No. 1061, in charge of Engineer
Greene, in this city yesterday morning.
It seems that
Mr. Browning
was in the set of connecting the switching [illegible] a train of
[illegible] that cars containing lumber[?], and in so doing he overlooked
the fact that one of the cars was excessively loaded and that several
large pieces of lumber were projecting from the front car about to make
the coupling when the projectile from the approaching car pinioned him to
the tender of the engine, crushing him almost instantly to edath [sic].
He almost in a faint, and later was
carried to the home of Mrs. L.A. Murray,
on Union street, where he had been boarding for a number of years.
Dr. G.W. Blanton,
the local surgeon of the Atlantic Coast Line was sent in and did all in
his power for the unfortunate young man, but all in vain, and at one
o’clock he died.
Joseph Day Browning
was born in Macon 31 years ago, but has spent the greater portion of his
life in this city. For the past nine years he has been in the employ of
the Southern and Plant system.
His father [illegible but it’s
Charlton]
Browning
was at one time one of the most prominent merchants in the south, and
lived in Charleston, S.C. Mrs. E.J.
Browning has been living in this city for
the past five years to be with her son, who was an only child. She was at
his side soon after the terrible accident occurred, and did everything a
mother’s heart could suggest. She is prostrated with grief, and her many
friends enter into deepest sympathy with her.
The funeral will occur this afternoon at
3 o’clock from the residence of Mrs. L.A.
Murray, on Union street, conducted by
Rev. W.G. Gilmore,
pastor of the First Baptist church.

A SAD DEATH AT BRUNSWICK, GA.
On
last Friday night June 27th, many hearts were filled with sorrow,
when the news of Mrs. Maggie Bryan’s death were heard. A more beautiful life
has never lived. A pious, consistent christian, always ready to defend the
church of God; a friend who never betrayed a trust; a loving mother, who
tenderly watched over and prayed for her fatherless children. She was twice a
widow, her first husband, Mr. James Carter, brother of Mr. H.B. Garnett, died
leaving her with three small children, whom she carefully reared and today they
are filing places of trust. Her second husband, Rev. J.C. Bryan, died several
years ago, and left her with two little girls, who have been cared for and
educated by their two brothers, William and James Carter, two of the most
dutiful sons and brothers that ever lived. Their good deeds will ever be
remembered, and their examples shining lights for others to follow. The funeral
took place from the First Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. John Williams, spoke
in beautiful words to a vast audience; he was assisted by Rev. Ford of Bethel
Church, Jacksonville, Fla., Rev. S. Roberts and Rev. Fisher. To mourn her loss
are five children, Prof. W.M. Carter, President, Topeka N. and I. College,
Topeka, Kans.; James G. Carter, Consular to Madagascar; Mrs. Maggie Carter
Lewis, Misses Nita and Edna Bryan, two brothers, Mr. C.A. Clark, Mr. Wm. Clark,
three sisters, Mrs. I.M. Jones, Mrs. Julia Robinson, Mrs. Ellie Moore, a devoted
aunt, Mrs. Corine Delaney and many other relatives and friends. Death is sad!
but theirs is [sic] comfort in the words of the poet:
Come ye disconsolate, wher’er ye languish;
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel,
Here bring your wounded heart;
There tell your anguish,
Earth has no sorrow,
That heaven cannot heal.
A Friend.

OBITUARY—“Beati Mortui
qui in Domino Mortuntur.”
From her earthly abode, has lately passed, one whose virtues should long
remain fresh in the memory of her relations and in that of the numerous
friends and neighbors, whom she edified by her many virtues and amiable
social qualities. We write of Mrs. EUGENIA BURKE, the very
endearing and affectionate wife of Archibald T. Burke, Esq., of
Carrolton, Carroll county [sic], Georgia. After a protracted illness, she
died on the 2d of October last, leaving a fond husband and three young
children to lament her premature death.
It
is not the intention of the writer to sketch her biography at any length,
although it would, indeed serve as an instructive model for the young and
the old, for the married and the single. A few items will subserve our
present purpose.
She
was the youngest daughter of Colonel Henry Dubignon, of Jekyl [sic]
Island, Glynn county [sic], and of his intelligent and highly educated
spouse, Emilia [sic] Nicolau. Isolated, in a great measure,
and deprived of a Catholic Ministry for several years, Eugenia,
with other members of the family, did not receive the sacrament of baptism
until the 12th year of her age, on the 15th of July,
1836. Very few, indeed, of her age, if any, were better instructed than
she was in the principles of the Christian doctrine. Her zeal exhibited
itself in common with her amiable sisters, by instructing the domestics on
the plantation and the servants employed at the family mansion, in the
rudiments of religion. Of those, twenty eight were received into the
church by the infusion of grace in the leaven of regeneration.
Jekyl, thenceforward, to a recent date, exhibited an envious condition. A
chapel was erected in the vicinity of the family dwelling, with a bell
attached, which tolled morning and evening of each day, to assemble the
African worshippers for prayer. This humble temple had its altar and
ornaments suited for Devine service, and herein was offered the Holy
Sacrifice of Mass, and the blessed Eucharist administered as often as the
Priest visited the plantation. On these occasions might the white and the
black, the mistress and the servant be seen, side by side, kneeling at the
altar of religion, and partaking in common of the “Bread of Life”. Have
the rabid fanatical Abolitionists of the North witnessed in their midst
such a happy scene as this? No, deluded and mock philanthropists, no!
It
was edifying to witness the piety and devotion with which the subject of
our eulogy prepared herself for her first communion. She considered this
act as the basis of a religious and happy life here, and everlasting life
hereafter. “The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for
the life of the world.”
She
received the sacrament of confirmation with her sisters and many of the
colored servants, from the imposing hands of the late and venerable Bishop
of Charleston—the Right Rev. Ignatius Aloysius Reynolds. Humility,
modesty and meekness, with the cognate Christian virtues, were happily
conspicuous in her after life in every relation, as regards God and her
neighbors.
In
1853 she became the spouse of Mr. Burke, and as in the other
special acts of her previous life, in this she was remarkably pious.
She viewed marriage, not only as a sacred and indissoluble contract,
instituted by God in the earthly paradise between our first parents, but
as a holy union elevated by the Saviour to the dignity of a sacrament.
As
a necessary preparation, she approached the Sacraments of Penance and the
Holy Eucharist, and her demeanor on her nuptial day, [illegible word] the
esteem of her numerous friends, and edified all present. Admonished by the
sacred record, and the teachings of her church, she left father and
mother, friends and relations, clove to her husband, and thus formed the
nucleus of a separate family.
At
her new home in Carrolton, as in her beloved Jekyl, she exhibited those
traits of character which [illegible word] her new friends and
acquaintances. Stern in her own religious belief, and refusing to unite in
religious worship with her neighbors; yet for her consistency she was
respected by the enlightened portion of the community, and her
exclusiveness, in religious worship, rather increased than diminished the
circle of her friends; for she was “always ready to give an account of the
hope and the faith what were in her.”
Called on by his country to defend and to fight for her independence
against an invading and relentless foe, Mr. Burke repaired to
Virginia, where he suffered much from wounds received and sickness which
followed.
On
having heard of the suffering condition of her husband, Mrs. Burke,
influenced by conjugal and religious affection, hastened from Carrollton
to alieviate [sic] the wants and sufferings of her husband. But what think
you, reader, of the intensity of suffering endured by the wife and mother,
when you are assured that on her way to Richmond, one, of twins, to whom
she gave birth three weeks before commencing her journey, died on the way,
after receiving private baptism by her direction. Having remained with her
husband until he was in a condition to travel, she accompanied him to
Carrollton, with the surviving twin baby. Soon after her arrival at her
home, the germ of dissolution very soon developed itself, dropsy invaded
her system, and a recovery was pronounced, physically, impossible.
Aware of her approaching death, she earnestly desired the ministry of her
church—the last sacraments of the dying. She expressed a wish to be
attended in her last moments by the priest who baptized her, who, for the
first time, and frequently thereafter administered to her the Bread of
Life, who was the witnessing minister of her nuptial engagement and
baptized her two first children. That minister was far away. The Catholic
pastor of Macon supplied his place; she received the sacraments of
penance, the Holy viaticum and Extreme Unction; and finally, the
Benediction, in articuls mortis. She shortly after sunk in death,
exclaiming “Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit; Lord Jesus
receive my soul.” Thus lived and died Mrs. Eugenia Burke, a model
of imitation for the married and the single christian. Requiescat in
pace.
“Weep not for her, in her spring-time she flew
To
that land where the wings of the soul are unfurled.
And now, like a star beyond evening’s cold dew,
Looks radiantly down on the tears of this world.”

On
the 4th instant died in this city [Savannah, GA] after a lingering
illness of nine months, about six of which he was confined to his bed, John
Burnett, Sen. Esq. late of Glynn county. His death was occasioned by the
breaking out of a wound he received in April 1788, when he, with one of his
sons, bravely fought and defeated a party of nine or ten Indians, taking from
them a number of his cattle they were driving off, and which were safely
conveyed to the fort on Turtle river.

illness of one week, Capt. JOHN BURNETT, aged about 42 years. In the death of
Mr. B. not only his family and friends have sustained a severe loss, but the
community is deprived of a valuable and useful member.—At the time of his death
he was Clerk of the Superior and Inferior Courts of this County, an office he
had held for several years. Sacred be the spot where
“Lie the loving husband’s dear remains,
The tender father and the gen’rous friend.”
BURNETT,
Col. John J.
The Brunswick Advocate; 9 August 1838
DIED—At his residence in this County on Saturday the 28th
July, at 12 o'clock, M., after a painful illness of many months, Col. John
Burnett in the 77th year of his age. When the Destroyer
breathes upon the blooming cheek of the young, and makes the aspirant to
honor and happiness a tenant of the tomb, we mourn that man "cometh forth
as a flower, and is cut down." When in the glory of manhood, he "wasteth
away," how mysterious the Providence that "destroyeth the hope of man."
But when the aged patriarch bends beneath the weight of fourscore years,
when his trembling steps betray the gradual but certain decay of nature,
when his frame is wasted by disease, and live becomes a weariness, when,
as the hireling longs for the evening's shadow, he sighs at the lingering
steps of death, we rejoice that we are but pilgrims here, and when the
"silver cord is loosed," however great may be our loss, we raise our
thoughts in thankfulness to God, that the spirit is at rest. Such should
be our feelings in the present instance. The subject of these remarks had
languished for a year, but the last three months, his sufferings were
beyond description. Hope for his recovery had long ceased to be
cherished, and the wish to have his life prolonged, was but to prolong his
sufferings. Col. Burnett was born in Sunbury, and moved to the County
upwards of forty years since, at a time when it was a frontier
settlement. He served in the Indian War of 1787 or 1788, in which he
received his commission and title from the State of Georgia. For eighteen
years, he represented Glynn County in the State Legislature, and no man
ever enjoyed the confidence of his fellow citizens in a higher degree than
himself, and well he might. His bosom burned with the devotion of a
patriot, he loved his country and at any moment, even when his eyes were
dimmed with age, and the vigor of them was gone, have perilled for her
(can not read)...his fortune, and his honor. He (can not read)..-tian;
for more than twenty years (can not read)...an upright member of the
Baptist Church . His was the religion that (can not read)...God and man.
Few have more (can not read)...observed the "golden rule" than he. (can

o'clock (can not read)...on Sunday the 29th of July, attended
by a large number of friends, whose tearful eyes and swelling bosoms
denoted how sincerely they respected him. Peace to thine ashes, and to
thy soul the approbation of the God. (Communicated)

Died, at Dent’s battery on St. Simons Island,
Ga., on the evening of
the 11th
January, after an illness of twenty-four hours,
JOHN J. BURNETT, twenty-three years and four months of age. The deceased was
the youngest son of the late John Burnett, deceased. At the time of his death
he was in the service of the Confederate States, being a member of the Glynn
Guards. This sudden and mysterious dispensation of Providence has bereft an
aged and devoted mother, and a large circle of relatives and friends, of one
whose loss can never be supplied, and whose memory will ever be cherished. Of a
generous and charitable disposition he ministered to the distressed and
sympathized with the afflicted and always exhibited an impressive regard for the
welfare of others. Truthful and candid, he abhorred deception, and never, by
word or deed, detracted from the fair fame of another. There was about him that
nobleness of soul, sincerity of purpose and dignity of manner which commanded
the admiration and secured the esteem of all who knew him. Thus, in the spring
tide of life, in the midst of health and prosperity, and with the prospect of
long and happy years before him, he died, leaving those that are near and dear
to tread the pathway of life in sorrow and gloom, and many to mourn that one so
good, so young and so kind had departed forever.
Verily, as the flowers of the field, we spring up and are cut down.

THE DEATH OF
MRS. BURROUGHS—Has Carried Sadness to Many Homes in Brunswick.
Mrs. William Berrien Burroughs died at her home in this city yesterday morning
after a few days illness, during which the utmost skill of Doctor A.C. Blain,
Dr. Hugh Burford, Dr. R.E.L. Burford, Dr. Cates and Dr. Blanton of Brunswick,
and Dr. R.B. Burroughs, of Jacksonville, since Sunday was exerted to save her.
This passing away of such an estimable one has cast a shadow over
the people of Brunswick and the heartfelt sympathy of the community is now being
extended to Doctor Burroughs, her sisters, and his children in their hour of
sorrow.
Mrs. Burroughs was born June 15, 1844, and her life had been filled
with such good deeds as to endear her memory forever in the hearts of the people
who knew her. Since 1872 she has been the devoted wife of a loving husband and
there was no home in Brunswick where the sunshine of life and happiness was more
noticeable than in her own prior to this last illness. Her husband and six
children, and two sisters survive her. The children are Miss Mary McNish, Miss
Lilla Hazelhurst [sic], and Mrs. Clyde Afton Taylor, Mrs. William B., Jr., Mr.
Leighton H. and Mr. Mac Burroughs. The surviving sisters are Misses Mary R. and
Sallie E. Hazelhurst. The funeral services will be held this morning at 10
o’clock from St. Mark’s Episcopal church, Rev. W.A. Ramsey officiating. The
active pallbearers will be Mr. Hiram J. Read, Judge Horace Dart, Mr. William
Nightengale [sic], Col. John E. duBignon, Mr. Frank D. Aiken, Capt. W.F. Symons,
Dr. D.D. Atkinson and Col. H.F. Dunwody. The interment will be in Palmetto
cemetery. The honorary escort will be the physicians who attended her in her
last illness.
By the death of Mrs. William Berrien Burroughs, the people of this
community have received a sad shock, which will linger long in their memory, and
add to the regret that has shadowed many homes here since the New Year dawned.
Mrs. Burroughs was one of the best known and most estimable of the ladies who,
in years gone by, were the mainstay of all that was good and noble in woman
kind, and her influence for good upon the young people of this community, as
well as her charitable deeds, and loving thoughtfulness of the poor and needy,
were examples of the nobleness and generosity of those natures who add to the
sunlight and happiness of mortals here below. The greater portion of her
married life was spent in Brunswick, and from the hospitable home, where the
roof [illegible] sheltered a family devoted to one another, there radiated an
influence for good that was felt around many of the less pretentious firesides
of this city. As a wife, she was all that a husband’s loving helpmeet could be;
and as a mother, her devotion to those children who were permitted to spend the
last moments with her, was sublime in its unselfish affection.
During her illness there were but few who realized, until nearly the
end, that its nature was so likely to terminate fatally; and when a realization
that the end was drawing near dawned upon many who knew and loved her, there
were heartfelt prayers sent above for her safe return to the life that she had
made so glad for others.
Unselfish in her devotion to those who were the recipients of her
bountiful kindliness and with a heart pulsating in sympathy for the poor and
heartsick she was an Angel of goodness to many who have passed through the
Valley of Despair and cheered many lonely hearts to a feeling of encouragement
that enabled them to again face a life made desolate by the loss of some loved
one. Thus it is that now, her own grief stricken ones can but know the sympathy
which all who knew her feel for them, in their hour of loneliness, and it can
but be comforting to them to realize that although she who gave them all that
her life held of love and devotion has passed to her Eternal reward the good
deeds with which her days were unceasingly numbered will live forever in the
memory of those who were the recipients of them and forever perpetrate in their
minds the feeling which only the gentle loveliness of a good and Holy woman can
engender. It is difficult in times of distress to offer comfort to bleeding
hearts but as through the mist of darkened days that are to come, those left
here to mourn realize all that their loved one was to others, they will then
know what many hearts are weeping in silent sympathy for them now and adding
their prayers to those that have gone Heavenward for her Everlasting Glory in
the Home beyond the skies where God rules to the Glory of all His people.

MAC
H. BURROUGHS PASSES AWAY HERE—Well Known Insurance Man Died Unexpectedly
Saturday Night.
Mac H. Burroughs, prominent Brunswick insurance man, who was born
and reared in this city, died unexpectedly at his Windsor Park home Saturday
night.
Mr. Burroughs several months ago suffered a serious illness.
However, he recovered and while not enjoying the best of health in recent weeks,
he had not been confined to his bed, and was at his desk as usual Saturday.
About 10:30 o’clock, and died within a few minutes, before a physician could be
called.
Mr. Burroughs was born in Brunswick July 22, 1885, and he had
resided here all of his life. He was a member of an old and prominent south
Georgia family, being a son of the late Dr. William B. and Mrs. Elizabeth
Hazlehurst Burroughs, pioneer south Georgia residents.
Mr. Burroughs was married to Miss Eliza Fenton McIntosh on October
12, 1912.
Practically all of his life he had been engaged in the insurance
business and since 1926 had been a member of the firm of Parker, Burroughs and
Way. He was well known among an unusually large number of friends, who were
grieved and shocked to learn of his death.
Mr. Burroughs is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Frances
Baker, of this city, and Mrs. Charles Wells, of Daytona Beach, Fla.; two sons,
Swinton Burroughs of this city, and Mac. H. Burroughs, Jr., of Miami; two
sisters, Mrs. Mary B. Deming of this city, and Mrs. C.A. Taylor, Sr., of St.
Marys, and five grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at St. Marks Episcopal church, of which
he had been a life long member, at 4 o’clock this afternoon conduced by the Rev.
Talbert Morgan, and burial was in Palmetto cemetery. The following served as
pallbearers: J.C. Kaufman, Richard Peters, Wright Parker, Norman A. Way, Potter
F. Gould and Nat Nightingale. The funeral was in charge of Mortician Edo
Miller.
BURROUGHS, William Berrien
The Brunswick News; Tuesday 23 January 1917; pg. 1 col. 4
DR.
W.B. BURROUGHS CALLED BY DEATH—Prominent Brunswick Citizen Died Sunday. Large
Funeral Occurred Yesterday Afternoon.
Dr. William Berrien Burroughs, one of Brunswick’s best known and
most highly esteemed citizens, and one of the south’s greatest historians,
passed away at his home in this city shortly before 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon,
after an illness which has extended over a period of several months.
Dr. Burroughs’ condition had been serious for several weeks. A
short time ago he lingered for a few days between life and death and then came a
change for the better, but attending physicians realized that the improvement
was only temporary and that the end was only a question of days.
Dr. Burroughs was known in every section of the south; he was a
gentleman of the old school, and during the latter years of his life a great
deal of his time has been devoted to collecting Georgia history, etc., and
probably no man in the country was better posted on records than he. His
collection of old relics, documents, etc., is probably the best to be found
anywhere in the country. Many of those old papers were purchased by him at a
high figure and were greatly prized by him.
Dr. Burroughs took part in the war between the states as a
Confederate soldier and displayed gallantry for the cause he loved so well. He
has always been a prominent figure at Confederate reunions, and was head of Camp
Jackson, United Confederate veterans held here and over the state and was
largely responsible for the success of the state reunion here a few years ago.
A student and constant reader, Dr. Burroughs was generally
considered an authority on any historical subject particularly if it related to
Georgia or the south Atlantic coast. He often contributed articles to the
newspapers and they were read with widespread interest. He was an unusually
interesting conversationalist. His wide knowledge of the history of the state
and country made him almost unequaled in this respect.
Dr. Burroughs was interested in art and agriculture affairs also.
For years he was in charge of the art exhibit at the Georgia state fair held
annually in Macon. Dr. Burroughs also had the distinction of belonging to the
Society of the Revolutionary War. Only a few men in the state enjoyed this
honor.
Dr. Burroughs was born in Savannah April 7, 1842. He resided in
that city until the outbreak of the civil war. He was educated at the old
Oglethorpe University, and for a number of years after the war practiced
medicine in Camden county. In 1881 he removed to Brunswick and has since
resided here. In January 1872, he was married to Miss Eliza Pettingill Wilson
Hazlehurst, of Waynesville. She was a daughter of Leighton Wilson Hazlehurst, a
well known South Georgia rice planter.
During his long residence in Brunswick, Dr. Burroughs had been
identified with all movements in the city which had as their object the
bettering of conditions in the city and county. He was for years president of
the local agricultural association and had also held offices in the state
organization.
He is survived by six children: Mrs. C.W. Deming, of Tulsa, Okla.;
W.B. Jr., of Jacksonville and Mrs. Clyde A. Taylor, Miss Lilla Burroughs, L.H.
and M.H. Burroughs of this city.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from St. Mark’s Episcopal
church, Rev. R.E. Boykin officiating, and hundreds of Brunswickians were present
to pay a last tribute to this popular citizen. The interment was in Palmetto
cemetery. The active pallbearers were A.J. Crovatt, J.P. Twomey, J.E. duBignon,
J.T. Lambright, H.S. McCrary, P.W. Fleming. The honorary pallbearers were Dr.
G.V. Cate, Dr. J.A. Butts, Dr. H.M. Branham, Dr. D.D. Atkinson, W.H. Berrie, Wm.
Nightingale, C. Downing, Camp Jackson, Confederate veterans, of which he was the
commander for so many years and Oglethorpe lodge Knights of Pythias, of which he
was a member, attended in a body.
The News joins the many other friends in extending condolence to the
family.

Died, on the 25th of February, 1886, at New Hope Plantation, on St.
Simons Island, after twelve months’ suffering, Chance Burton, aged nearly
ninety, the body servant of Col. Hazzard, throughout the Seminole war and the
campaign of 1812, and subsequently the trusted head overseer and driver upon his
estate on St. Simons Island. In proof of the respect and attention of the
Hazzard family, it was especially stipulated upon the sale of the Hazzard
plantation to J.C. Chapman in 1881, that Uncle Chance should have a home upon
the estate for his life time. His friendship, advice and integrity were
appreciated by Mr. Chapman, who mourns the loss in him of an honorable, true and
upright friend. The burial service in accordance with Uncle Chance’s own wish,
was read by Mr. Chapman, whose three-year-old son, Master B., laid a cross of
spring flowers on “grandpa’s” grave. Over 100 persons attended the funeral in
the picturesque negro cemetery on the plantation, which, out of respect to his
memory, will now shortly be enclosed by the descendants of those who lie in this
