Brunswick, Ga., January 10—(Special)—County
Treasurer John P. Lamb, one of Glynn's highly respected citizens and an uncle of
the collector of customs, Tom Lamb, died today. He was the first man to break
the back of the carpetbagger and negro office holding regime in this section by
being elected county treasurer. That was twenty-two years ago, an office which
he has held continuously ever since faithfully up to the time of his death. For
twenty-two years previous to his election as treasurer he was sheriff, tax
collector and tax receiver, making an unbroken record of forty-four years in the
public service of the state. The day he broke the ranks of negro republicanism,
his nephew, Thomas R. Lamb, helped in the fight and was himself elected sheriff
of Glynn, and for the twenty-two years since has held public and governmental
office. John Lamb was a large and extensive land owner and entertained at his
country home in the old-time southern manner.

MRS. JULIA LAMBRIGHT LAID TO REST IN OAK GROVE CEMETERY
Many sorrowing friends gathered at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Lambright, 1020 Richmond street, yesterday afternoon to
pay their tribute of esteem and love to Mrs. Julia Dart Lambright, who passed
away Friday morning after a lingering illness.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Thomas H. Thomson,
pastor of the First Methodist church, of which the deceased was a devoted
member. A profusion of winter’s fairest flowers covered the casket, tokens of
the affection in which Mrs. Julia Lambright was held in the hearts of her
friends. Her death though not unexpected, was the occasion of the deepest
sorrow in every circle of Brunswick, where she was known and held in the highest
affection. It was here that she spent almost her entire life and it was here
that she labored and loved.
At the conclusion of the services at the home, the body was conveyed

woman was laid to its eternal rest by the side of her loved ones, gone before.

MRS. LAMBRIGHT PASSES TO REST—Estimable Woman Died Last
Night After a Long Illness.
Mrs. M.A. Lambright passed away last night at
8:45 o’clock at her home, 719 Norwich street. She had been in very feeble
health since the 10th of last July, and had been critically ill for almost a
month.
She was the widow of James E. Lambright, who preceded her in death
fifty years ago.
Mrs. Lambright was born in Liberty county, Georgia, April 3, 1826,
and was in her eighty-ninth year. She was married in 1843, and joined the First
Baptist church of Savannah in 1844. She moved with her husband to Glynn county
in 1857, became a resident of Brunswick in 1866, and has resided here ever
since. Six children beside a large number of grandchildren and great grand
children survive her. Her children are Judge J.T. Lambright, Mrs. A.M.
Gatchell, this city; Mrs. A.C. Ward, Atlanta, Mrs. P.L. Bailey, Savannah; Mrs.
W.S. Mell, Knoxville, and Mrs. Ida R. Wilson, Jacksonville.
Mrs. Lambright was related to some of the most prominent people of
the state, among others being the late Dr. P.H. Mell, once Chancellor of the
University of Georgia, and President of the Southern Baptist Convention.
She had been a member of the First Baptist church since becoming a
resident of this city and until her health failed, was active in all its work,
as well as every movement fro humanity’s uplift. She was a woman of much
personal charm and a character of rare Christian grace and beauty. She left eh
impress of the most elevating influence upon all who knew her. Her love for
Brunswick and from her people was strong and tender, and her interest in all
human betterment never flagged through all her long life. It is not possible to
sum up such a life and influence in words; but it speaks for itself in the
loving memories of hundreds upon hundreds of those who have known her. Her
thumb-worn bible is a monument to the secret of her piety and her power. She
walked with God, and God’s light shone in her face. Her passing was as easy as
the twilight.
The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but it is
announced that the services will occur from the First Baptist church this
afternoon at 3:30 and the interment is in Oak Grove cemetery.

TRAGIC DEATH OF BRUNSWICK BOY—Luther Lancaster Instantly
Killed Near Waycross Last Sunday
Telegraphic information reached the city Sunday
evening of a frightful accident near Waycross during the afternoon, in which
Luther V. Lancaster, a well known young man of this city, was instantly killed
and several others seriously wounded, one of them P.P. Stuart, of Waycross,
later dying from the injuries received.
It appears that Mr. Lancaster and a party of some 18 others were en
route from a point in the Okefenokee swamp to the camps of the Hebbard Cypress
Co., located at Hopkins, some 20 miles from Waycross. The entire party were on
a pleasure trip and were using the tramway of the company riding on the trucks
used for handling lumber to and from the camps. The tram bends through a rather
thick woods and on the return trip overhanging limbs swept those occupying the
seats nearest the engine from the trucks. In the fall three of the party, Mr.
and Mrs. Stuart and Mr. Lancaster, were thrown under the cars, while others
managed to make their escape with slight injuries.
There was no better young man in Glynn county than Luther Lancaster,
who for many years was employed by the Hilton Dodge Lumber company and more
recently was in the service of the Yaryan Naval Stores company, leaving them in
September to accept a position with the Hebbard Cypress company, Waycross.
Possessed of a kindly, genial disposition, upright conscientious and courteous,
he was esteemed by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who will be
grieved to hear of his tragic death. He was 25 years of age, was the son of
Mrs. Oren B. Lancaster and in addition to his mother is survived by three
sisters, two brothers and a very large number of other relatives in the city,
all of whom have the sympathy of countless friends.
The remains reached the city via the Atlantic Coast Line at 8:30
o’clock last night and were carried to the home of Mrs. Lancaster near the
Cypress mills.
The funeral will occur from the family residence at 11 o’clock this
morning, Rev. M.C. Austin officiating. The interment will occur in Oak Grove
cemetery, the pallbearers being as follows: Frank Clark, Roy Walker, James
Beasley, Thomas E. Smith, Edward Manoe and J.L. Roberts.
During yesterday many floral remembrances were received by the
grief-stricken members of the family to whom The News extends its condolence.

SON IS HELD FOR KILLING FATHER—William Lane Held in Jail
Here As Result of Unfortunate Tragedy on St. Simons Saturday.
William Lane, 20-year-old Brunswick man, is in
the Glynn county jail charged with the murder of his father, Lawrence A. Lane,
42, which occurred on St Simons Island Saturday afternoon, in the presence of
the dead man’s wife and the wife of the son.
The tragedy seems to have been the aftermath of a family quarrel
over a sum of money the father is said to have loaned his son when he purchased
an automobile, according to an investigation made by State Troopers D.H. Branch
and R.T. Taft, but entirely different versions are told by the man held for
murder and his step-mother.
The shooting occurred just north of the Nineteenth Hole Club on St.
Simons, where, it is stated, the elder Mr. Lane had stopped his automobile
because of engine trouble.
Trooper Branch said according to a statement made by the son his
father and step-mother visited his home in the city Saturday morning and
insulted his wife, an argument over the reported indebtedness being the cause.
His father, a driver of a public school bus who was formerly engaged
in the upholstering business, left with his wife Saturday afternoon to deliver
some furniture on St. Simons, Mrs. Lane continuing to do upholstering at her
home near Dock Junction. The trooper said young Lane later went in search of
his father, and passed him on the road where he was stopped. He stopped his
car, the trooper reported, and went back to talk to his father, when another
argument started. Young Lane told the officer his father was advancing on him
“and I told him to stop or I’ll shoot you,” the officer quoted him as saying.
When his father continued to advance he shot him in the leg with one barrel of a
double-barreled shot gun. He continued to advance, the son said, and he fired
the second load, which struck the father in the heart, killing him instantly.
Mrs. Lane, wife of the dead man, told a different story. She said
her step-son got out of his automobile, walked up and asked his father “What do
you mean by cursing my wife,” and immediately fired.
Trooper Branch said the elder Mr. Lane was not armed, further than
having a knife which was in his pocket. The investigation is being continued.
Both Mr. Lane and his son have resided in Brunswick for many years.
Besides his wife, Mr. Lane is survived by a number of children and
step-children, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Lane of Jesup, and five brothers.
Services will be conducted at Norwich Street Baptist church Tuesday
morning at 11 o'clock by the Rev. C.H. Moss, interment to be in Palmetto
cemetery. Arrangements are in charge of Mortician Edo Miller. Local school bus
drivers will serve as pall bearers.

WELL
KNOWN JESUP WOMAN SHOOTS SELF—Mrs. M.A. Lane, Despondent, Committed Suicide
Yesterday Afternoon (By Associated Press.)
Jesup, Ga., March 9.—Mrs. L.A. Lane, 28, member of one of Wayne
county’s most prominent families, is dead, a victim of a .38 calibre pistol
which she used to end her life late yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Lane left no note explaining her motive, but on the operating
table while an emergency operation was being performed, she said:
“I have stood all of life that I can.”
Members of her family say she has been suffering from despondency
for the past several weeks, although they did not realize her condition was of
sufficient cause to prompt her act.
The young woman shot herself twice in her attempt to end her life,
with the first bullet passing through her breast. The second was just below her
heart. This tore away parts of the abdomen and resulted in her death.
Mrs. Lane was the daughter of the Late W.H. Harris, reputed to be
Wayne county’s wealthiest farmer. She is survived by her husband, a son, two
daughters, her mother, two brothers, Dr. W.G. Harris of Jacksonville, and Oscar
Harris of Odum; a sister, Mrs. Ernest Davis, of Mersham.
Funeral services will take place here tomorrow. Interment will be
in Big Creek cemetery.

Double Drowning—Risley Outing By Senior Class Has Tragic End
A beach outing at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for 43 senior
students from Risley High School, ended in tragedy Friday with the drowning of
two students.
The sheriff’s office at Bluffton, S.C., confirmed recovery of the
body of Hester Speakman of Sterling, but has listed Melvin Lane of St. Simons
Island as missing and presumed drowned.
Miss Speakman resided with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Speakman of Sterling. Lane is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Lane, of 508 Gordon
Retreat, St. Simons.
The outing, which was not a school sponsored trip, left by chartered
bus Friday morning for a day of swimming and picnicking at the South Carolina
resort.
Adrian Johnson, senior advisor and sociology teacher at the school
was chaperone for the trip.
Johnson related that the students were counseled after lunch to
remember that they were to swim and hike in groups and not alone or in couples.
At approximately 1:30 p.m. a student reported to Johnson that the
Speakman girl and the Lane boy were seen swimming with a third student, but that
the third student had left them and returned to shore.
After locating the third student, Johnson discovered that the boy
had not seen the two since he left them in the water.
A search was started and the beach and water area were combed in an
effort to locate the two missing students.
The sheriff’s department at Bluffton, which serves Hilton Head, was
notified and it took over the search.
Johnson, in an interview today said, “We have made this trip several
years, without any problems.” He speculated that the students were caught in a
strong current since the tide was coming in.
Johnson was perplexed at their inability to handle such a situation,
since both students were reported to be strong swimmers. He went on to remark
that “in that area when the tide is coming in an undercurrent often crosses
below the surface.” He commented that this set of circumstances could have
caused the Speakman girl to panic.
Johnson was visibly upset as he spoke of the incident. He had a
close relationship with the two students, who were members of his home room
class.
The South Carolina sheriff was unavailable for additional
information, but had contacted Risley Principal W.C. McNeely today to confirm
recovery of the Speakman girl’s body, and report that the Lane boy is still the
object of an extensive search.

BODY
OF DROWNED STUDENT IS FOUND AT S.C. RESORT
The body of Melvin Lane, student at Risley High School, who drowned
Saturday during an outing at Hilton Head, Island, S.C., was located early
Monday, according to South Carolina authorities.
Lane, 18, of St. Simons Island, and Hester Speakman, 18, of
Sterling, both senior(s) at Risley, drowned around noon Saturday while on an
outing with 41 classmates. Miss Speakman’s body was found by authorities late
that afternoon.
The outing, which was not a school-sponsored trip, left by chartered
bus early Saturday for a day of swimming and picnicking at the South Carolina
resort.
Adrian Johnson, senior advisor and sociology teacher at the school,
said that the students were counseled to swim or hike in groups, but not alone
or in couples.
A third student was reportedly in the water with Lane and Miss
Speakman, but left them alone, later saying they had not seemed to be in any
trouble.
The search for the bodies was conducted by the office of the sheriff
of Bluffton, S.C., which serves the Hilton Head area.

away at one o’clock yesterday morning after an illness of ten days of typhoid
fever.
The very sad news will bring deepest sorrow to the hearts of a large
circle of friends who loved and esteemed the deceased for the manifold ennobling
characteristics with which she was endowed. Just budding into beautiful young
womanhood, comely of face and figure and with the sunniest of natures she had
endeared herself to all whose fortune it was to have known her.
To those broken-hearted parents, who are bowed in grief over the
very sad and inscruitible [sic] work of fate which removes from their hearts and
homes all that is nearest and dearest.
THE CALL joins all Brunswick in extending its best sympathy.
Their sorrow, while deep and painful must find some consolation in
the realization and knowledge of the fact that the bright young life has entered
that celestial home where peace and happiness knows no end.
As an expression of sympathy all the vessels in the harbor are
displaying their flags at half mast.

Xavier’s Catholic church; the following gentlemen acting as paul [sic] bearers:

L.J. LEAVY SR. IS LAID TO REST—Funeral of Estimable Citizen
Attended by Many Friends, Confederate Veterans Pay Tribute
Funeral services for the late L.J. Leavy, Sr.
were held yesterday afternoon from the residence, 510 Howe street, and a larger
number of friends of the deceased were present to pay their last tribute of love
and esteem to one whom they had known and appreciated in life.
The death of Mr. Leavy cast a gloom over Brunswick for he had spent
many years here and was held in the highest esteem in circles. He was a loyal
and devoted husband and an affectionate father and a sterling citizen.
The services at the home yesterday afternoon were simple yet
exceedingly impressive. Seventeen member of Camp Jackson Confederate Veterans,
in command of Capt. Frank Harris, were present to pay their last tribute to
their comrade who one of the [sic] most enthusiastic members of that
organization. The flower-laden casket was borne between the files of the heroes
in gray and passed under the folds of the flag of the Confederacy, a flag
beneath which the dead soldier [illegible] had fought and which he had loved so
well.
The services were conducted by Rev. William Johnson, rector of St.
Mark’s Episcopal church and were deeply impressive. At the conclusion of the
service Miss Sadie Dart sang in exquisite voice, “Our Father Knows.”
The casket was borne from the house by life long friends of Mr.
Leavy, Messrs. Robert Pyles, Edwin Dart, Lee Robinson, D.W. Krauss, Judge Alfred
Crovatt and A.O. Anderson, and the funeral cortege headed by the Confederate
Veterans, moved out to Palmetto cemetery.
As the evening shadows tell, all that mortal of Louis J. Leavy, was
laid amid tears and flowers to his eternal rest.
TRIBUTE OF AFFECTION TO L.J. LEAVY, SR.
Louis J. Leavy has heard taps sounded for him
here and answered to the roll call in the beautiful land above, and greeted
comrades long since gone.
What a lesson is his passing to us of the old camp that survive him
and must surely meet him again where there is no parting but life eternal.
The writer has known him from her childhood, and to know the dear
old man was but to love and honor him.
His life was one that William Cullen Bryant must have had in mind
when he wrote:
“So live, that when Thy summons comes to join the enumerable caravan
which journeys on that thou go not as the valley slave scourged to his dungeon
but rather as one who draws the draperies of his couch around him and lies down
to pleasant dreams.”
Of him it well may be said “Gone but not forgotten,” for many years
must pass before his memory is even dimmed to those who knew and survive him,
and many times they will recall him and look forward to the meeting with him
again.
He was a Confederate soldier of the proper type; a man of the firing
line, that when wars dread thunders ceased, and peace was declared, ceased
fighting and strove to bring in closer union the country of our ancestors.
He was for many years a member of Camp Jackson, and died in
harness. His every effort was to build up the camp and banish from it all
bickerings and dissensions.
He believed that the chief duty of the camp was to bury its dead
with military honors, and was always present at the funeral of a comrade.
Remembering this beautiful trait of the deceased, his surviving
comrades attended his funeral in a body, seventeen strong in full uniform and
gave to him the last salute.
He was buried in the uniform so often worn by him in parades of the
camp, and lay like a warrior taking his rest.
Rest, soldier rest, and may no sad dreams disturb they [sic]
repose. Rest comrade rest, and may they [sic] memory ever be cherished by thy
surviving comrades and friends and thy name and worth never be forgotten in the
dear old camp.
This tribute of affection is written by a daughter of Camp Jackson,
who knew and loved him well. Mrs. F.H. HARRIS

The many friends of Mrs. Asenath A. Llewellyn, widow of the late
Jonathan Llewellyn, will regret to learn that she died at noon yesterday at the
Bethany Home, Vidalia, Ga. Mrs. Llewellyn was a faithful member of the First
Baptist church for many years and will be missed by a large circle of friends
among the older members of that congregation. Considerable of her latter life
was spent in the home of J.D. Ross, to whose family she was greatly endeared.

weakened condition made it necessary for her to seek shelter where her needs
could be given constant attention. She was 68 years of age and most of her life
had been spent in this city. She was born at Snow Cap, N.C., and moved to Fancy
Bluff with her husband many years ago.

MRS.
SELINA L. LIGEOUR, BRUNSWICK’S OLDEST RESIDENT, DIED LAST NIGHT—PASSES AWAY AT
HOME OF DAUGHTER IN FERNANDINA; RITES TUESDAY
Mrs. Selina Lasserre Ligeour, Brunswick’s oldest native resident,
who, had she survived until next May, would have observed her 100th anniversary,
passed away at 11:30 o’clock last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.J.
Cone, in Fernandina, Fla.
Mrs. Ligeour had been spending some time with her daughter and
became ill a few weeks ago, and for the past several days her condition had been
critical.
Mrs. Ligeour was born in Brunswick and had spent most of her life
here, where she was well-known by an unusually large number of friends. She is
the mother-in-law of Mrs. Ethel B. Ligeour and the grandmother of Mrs. Ray Wood,
both of this city. She celebrated her 99th birthday last May 22.
Her late father, Capt. Lasserre, was a boat builder in Brunswick
nearly a century ago, and her late son, Capt. Joseph Lasserre, was a pilot on
the Brunswick bar for many years.
When Mrs. Ligeour was interviewed by a News reporter on her 99th
anniversary, she discussed olden days in Brunswick, recalling many special
events. She posed for the accompanying photograph and was not phased by the
flash of bulbs. She was quick to reply to all questions asked her.
Mrs. Ligeour said one of her greatest thrills came about two and a
half years ago while she was visiting in Jacksonville. She attended a radio
show, “Breakfast in Hollywood,” and was presented an orchid by the announcer as
being the oldest person at the broadcast.
She experienced her first airplane ride from New Orleans to
Jacksonville when she was 96. Discussing the trip she said, “I enjoyed it, but
I did not like it when they strapped me in my seat.”
Until she was stricken a short time ago, Mrs. Ligeour took a 10
block walk each morning for the exercise, she said, and often told friends she
knew she was the oldest native resident, and she attributed her long and
healthful life to Brunswick’s climate.
Besides her daughter-in-law and granddaughter here, Mrs. Ligeour is
survived by her daughter in Fernandina; a sister, Mrs. Dolly Ganz; six
grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held in Fernandina Tuesday morning and will
be attended by local relatives and a number of Brunswick friends.

SAD ACCIDENT—On Wednesday afternoon last Robbie
Littlefield, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. S.C. Littlefield, was found lying in
water about one foot deep near the express office on the bay. He had been seen
only a short while before in his usual health. Being subject to fits, the
presumptions is that he was suddenly attacked with one of these and fell into
the water and was drowned before he could recover. Robbie was a young man of
exemplary habits and well beloved by all his comrades. His parents and
relations have the sympathy of the whole community in this sad bereavement.

AT A
GOOD OLD AGE—Mr. T.A. Livingston Dies at His Country Home
Mr. T.A. Livingston, an old and respected citizen of this county,
died of asthma at 11:15 last night, at his residence, “College Place,” near
Bladen.
Mr. Livingston leaves a wife, five sons and three daughters to mourn
his loss. He was born at Abbeville, S.C., August 29, 1824, and moved to Madison
county, Fla., when a boy ten years of age. He resided in Florida until 1880, in
which year he moved to Glynn county, where he has since resided.
Mr. Livingston was one of the prosperous farmers of this section and
had a large circle of friends. He was the ex-officio justice of the peace of
his district, having held the office for a number of years. In politics Mr.
Livingston was always a good democrat. A consistent member of the Baptist
church, he lived a Christian life and died with the Christian faith. His family
name is a synonym of good citizenship and honest worth in South Carolina, and it
was kept alike unstained by this one of those who bore it in Georgia.
The funeral will occur at the family burying ground tomorrow.

Historical Newspapers, Birth, Marriage, & Death Announcements, 1851-2003; The

WORRY HASTENED DEATH—C.B. Lloyd’s Attending Physicians Say That He was Broken
Down.
Brunswick, Ga., June 27.—(Special.)—Rumors have been circulated
alleging that C.B. Lloyd, president of the broken Brunswick State bank, who died
last night, committed suicide. These rumors are untrue. In answer to a note
from a correspondent the following statement is made by the attending physician:
“The report that Mr. C.B. Lloyd committed suicide is utterly false
and without any foundation. I attended at his bedside during his entire last
illness, and he died of garlisti and general nervous break down caused by
financial worry and business reverses. HUGH BURFORD, M.D.”
Dr. Robert E.T. Burford, another attending physician, also denies
the report officially. Mr. Lloyd has been sick for months. The day before the
National bank failed, Lloyd left a sick bed for New York. Arriving there he was
taken sick and after lying in bed ten days, left for Brunswick. He was obliged
to stop in Savannah on the return for medical treatment and could only be up a

worth of property he owned over to the bank. All his life insurance went for
his debts. He made every effort to repair what he had unfortunately done.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Love
The numerous friends of Mrs. Henry Love will be pained to hear of
her sudden death, which occurred at her home in Pearson, Ga., B.& A.R.R., on
last Thursday night (Oct. 28, 1875). She spent a few days in our city last
week, apparently in excellent health, was quite well on Thursday last until
bedtime, when she complained of a slight headache and chilliness, and died in
five hours. Truly our hold on life is feeble and uncertain.. May Providence
support the stricken ones.

YOUNG ARTHUR LUCAS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED—Son of Owner of
Brunswick Theaters Loses Life on Hunting Trip
Arthur Lucas, Jr., 22, son of a member of the
firm Lucas and Jenkins, operators of the Ritz and Bijou theaters here, is dead
from shotgun wounds accidentally received when a gun in the hands of his
brother, John, was discharged while on a hunting trip near Point Peter, Camden
county, shortly after 8 o’clock this morning.
The Lucas youths, accompanied by two other youths from near Atlanta,
and Mrs. Lucas were spending the Thanksgiving holidays at the Lucas coastal
resort at Point Peter when the tragedy occurred this morning.
L.F. Arnow, postmaster at St. Marys, Ga., in reporting the accident
this morning stated that John and Arthur Lucas, accompanied by their two
companions, were on a hunt in the vicinity of St. Marys when the shooting took
place.
“John was standing by the side of their automobile,” Mr. Arnow
stated, “and was in the act of unloading his shotgun in preparation of an
automobile trip into St. Marys for the purpose of obtaining additional
ammunition when his gun accidentally went off.” His older brother was standing
nearby and the entire discharge from the shell struck him in the right side of
his abdomen, according to Mr. Arnow.
The wounded youth was placed in the automobile and he was rushed to
St. Marys where upon arrival physicians pronounced him dead.
Mrs. Lucas, mother of the youths, was at Point Peter when she was
notified of the fatality. The father, Arthur Lucas, was at his home in Atlanta.
The body, accompanied by members of the family, left St. Marys this
morning for Jacksonville where it will be prepared for removal to Atlanta this
afternoon.
Point Peter, where Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins maintains a summer and
winter coastal Georgia home, is in Camden county. It has been a popular place
for the Lucas youths and their parents for several years.
