BROKE HIS NECK
Mr. Solomon Pye, from Pye, Wayne county, Ga.,
thus writes under date of April 12th, 1884:
MR. EDITOR: On the 10th inst., a youngster by the name of Charley
Whealer, about 17 years of age, was riding on the tongue of the timber wagon of
S.P. O’Quinn, and by an accident lost his balance, and fell off, the wheel
passing over his neck and, producing instant death.
He claimed to be from Brunswick, Ga., without any living parents,
and only one sister, and that she is living in Brunswick, Ga., with one Dr.
Yates. He said he was originally from Rhode Island.
He apparently being entirely destitute, the good citizens met and
buried him in Piney Grove church yard, Mr. I.K. Reddish, J.P. furnishing him
with a very decent burial suit. He appeared to be a boy of some education, was
a good penman, and conducted himself in a genteel manner. If any further
information is needed I will cheerfully give it.

IDENTIFIED
The boy Charley Whealer who was killed last
week by being run over by a timber cart, near No. 5, E.T.V. & Ga. R.R., proves
to be Charley Joerger, of this city, who it seems was working for Mr. S.P.
O’Quinn, under the name of Charley Whealer. Dr. Joerger, his adopted father,
seeing the notice, went up to ascertain if it was his boy, and was thoroughly
satisfied of his identity, the neighbors all recognizing his picture as being
the boy who was killed. The citizens of the neighborhood, and particularly Mr.
Reddish and Mrs. Wilson, took charge of the poor fellow’s remains and gave them
a decent burial, for all of which the Dr. requests us to extend to them his
heartfelt thanks and appreciation.

DEATHS
Oscar Johannesen, fifty years of age and a life long resident of
Brunswick, died by his own hand on Monday morning, when he fired a pistol bullet
through his brain while standing at the grave of his father in Oak Grove
cemetery. Mr. Johannesen had been in wretched health for several years and

CAPT. JOHANNESEN DIED YESTERDAY—Well Known Citizen Passes
Away After a Long Illness.
The many friends of Capt. Otto Johannesen will
be grieved to learn of his death which occurred at noon yesterday at his home on
Mansfield street.
The captain came to America in 1875 from Christiansand, Norway, and
to Brunswick in 1884, 30 years ago.
He has been identified very closely in the shipping business in this
city and has been the port statician for years, probably being more capable to
that line than any other one connected with marine reports.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church, of which he has been
connected since his arrival in the city.
He leaves a wife, one son, Oscar Johannesen, of Tampa, Fla., two
grandchildren in Macon, and one sister and two brothers in the old country.
To all of these the sympathy of the entire community goes out to
their deep grief.
The funeral service will be held at the Presbyterian church this
morning at [the rest of the article is too dark to be read—ALH].

Death of an Aged Lady
The little village of Waynesville was saddened on the 4th
Inst. by the announcement of the death of Miss Jane Johnson, and amiable
Christian lady of that place. She died on her 90th birthday. The
deceased was a sister of Mrs. McNish, the mother of Mrs. Leighton W. Hazlehurst,
of Waynesville. In her death the community has lost a worthy member and the
church a warm supporter, but she has gained her crown.

DEATH OF MRS. JOHNSON
The remains of Mrs. Mary Tallulah Johnson, wife of Dr. J.M. Johnson
of Scriven county, reached this city on last Wednesday morning, and was buried
from the Episcopal church of this city. Mrs. Johnson, nee Mrs. E.A.
Thomas, was a daughter of Judge D.J. Dillon, our townsman. Up to the hour of
her death she was enjoying excellent health. A short while after breakfast she
was suddenly taken ill with a congestive chill. Her husband, who was out upon
his farm, was summoned at once; also other medical assistance, but nothing could
be done to bring about reaction and in a few hours she passed away. Thus
another home has been saddened, and another loving husband left alone in the
journey of life. To him, although a stranger to us, we extend our sincerest
sympathy.

LAY
DEAD TWENTY-SIX HOURS—A Negro Dies All Alone in his House on A Street Lane.
Albert Jones, colored, an employee of Dr. W.B. Burroughs, was found
dead this morning in his house, corner of A street land and H street.
Jones did not show up for work at Dr. Burroughs’ residence
yesterday. This morning, as he still did not appear, he was sent for. The
woman who acted as the messenger found the door of Jones’ house locked, and, on
forcing entrance, found the old negro’s body lying on the floor, clothed in
nothing but a shirt.
Coroner Jennings was notified, but no inquest was held, as it was
evident that the deceased had died of heart disease. He occupied the house
alone, and death evidently occurred Saturday night.
Jones was a member of the colored lodges of Odd Fellows, but they
have refused to bury him, as he was not in good standing. The city will have to
pay for his funeral.
At 3 o’clock this afternoon the body was still lying as it had been
found and, as a very unpleasant stench was beginning to emanate from it, the
neighbors were making a stout kick. He has been dead almost thirty-six hours,
and ought to be interred at once.

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

Line and was borne to the residence of H.M. Bell, 2301 Atlantic avenue, from
where the funeral will take place. Definite funeral arrangements have not been
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.

THREE KILLED IN TWO AUTO MISHAPS HERE LAST NIGHT
Three persons were dead today as the result of two automobile
accidents last night and this morning.
Two elderly Negro pedestrians were killed just prior to 7 p.m.
yesterday when they were struck by an automobile on highway U.S. 84 ten miles
north of Brunswick.
A North Brunswick housewife, Mrs. Annie Myrle R. Dubberly, 26, was
killed early today when her automobile crashed into a ditch within the city
limits on Altama Avenue.
The three fatalities brought to 16 the number of traffic deaths in
Glynn County thus far this year. In the same period of time, the Georgia State
Patrol post here said traffic deaths in its area stand at 45, as opposed to 26
for the same period last year.
County police investigating the U.S. 84 accident said Mrs. Clara
Joyner, 60 of Hill Cabin Road, and Willie Thomas, 60, of Rt. 1, were killed
instantly when struck last night by an automobile operated by Harold Glynn Cope,
18, of Rt. 1, Brunswick.
In a report filed by Lt. A.L. Lokey and patrolmen McDowell and Buck,
Cope was said traveling north on the highway when the two Negroes were struck
and killed. The two were said to have been in the northbound traffic lane.
Police reported the two were decapitated and torsos of each cut into
two sections, strewn along some 400 feet of the highway.
Young Cope, driving a 1968 model automobile, was charged with
driving 70 miles an hour in a 50-mile-an-hour zone, and with two counts of
involuntary manslaughter.
He reportedly told police he did not see the couple, but heard and
felt the impact as his vehicle struck them.
The Dubberly death occurred at 4:20 a.m. today as the automobile the
young mother was driving crossed Altama Avenue from Townsend Street and crashed
into a ditch.
The car came to rest in the ditch on its right side in approximately
one foot of water. The 1966 model car received some $1,700 damage. City
patrolmen H.G. Guinn and R.L. Yawn investigated.
Mrs. Dubberly, a resident of 1750 Townsend Street, was pronounced
dead on arrival at the Brunswick hospital. She had been a resident of Brunswick
for the past 12 years.
She is survived by her husband, Charles E. Dubberly and a daughter,
Susan Beth Dubberly, of Brunswick; her mother, Mrs. Grace R. Reynolds, Uvalda; a
sister, Mrs. Betty Kinchen, Uvalda; four brothers, Billy, Bobby, Elbert and
Jimmy Reynolds, all of Uvalda; several nieces and nephews.
Funeral arrangements, under the direction of Edo Miller and Sons
Funeral Home, are incomplete and will be announced later.
