FUNERAL PLANS COMPLETED
FOR W. G. BRINSON
Was Well Known, Highly Regarded
Official of Local Company.
Plans were completed this morning for the funeral at Raleigh, N. C., of W. G. Brinson, 37, of this city, who lost his life in an auto accident near Tunica, Miss., last night.
Mr. Brinson’s death was resultant from a head-on collision between the automobile in which he was riding, and a passing truck. He met instant death. J. H. Scott, driver of the auto, escaped uninjured.
Both men were employed by the Monroe Auto and Supply company, this city, of which Mr. Brinson was sales manager and Mr. Scott as salesman. The men were at the time returning from a business trip to Memphis.
The impact was such as to throw the lighter machine from the road. A physician, hastily summoned to the scene, pronounced Mr. Brinson’s death due to a fracture of the skull. The time of the accident was 9 o’clock Tuesday night and Mr. Scott was driving the car when in turning a sharp curve he suddenly encountered the truck which was even then right upon them. Scott made every possible effort to avert the accident but this was impossible. It was stated after investigation by Mississippi authorities that no blame can be attached to Mr. Scott.
The remains were transferred to Memphis late last night where plans were made for sending same to Raleigh, N. C., where the funeral and interment will be made. Mrs. Mary Carter Brinson, mother of the deceased, of this city accompanied by Rev. L. T. Hastings, local pastor; Max Heuman and C. R. Cook, of Shreveport, left by train this morning for Memphis from where Mrs. Brinson and Mr. Cook will accompany the body to Raleigh.
Mr. Brinson was born April 18, 1894 at Wake Forest, N. C. and was the only child of James McCabe Brinson and Mary Carter Brinson. His mother survives him.
Deceased came from a prominent southern family, his maternal great, great, grandfather was William Hardy Murfree of Revolutionary fame. The towns of Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Murfressboror, N. C., were land grants to William Hardy Murfree. He was also a cousin of Mary Murfree, southern writer of mountain stories under the name of Charles Egbert Craddock.
Mr. Brinson had been in the employ of the Monroe Automobile and Supply company since last July and had made a wide circle of friends here and in other parts of the state, who were greatly shocked to learn of his sudden death.
W. L. Ethridge, president of the company by which Mr. Brinson was employed, expressed the great grief that the death of his valuable official has brought to the company as well as to the entire community. “We feel,” stated Mr. Ethridge, “that in the death of Mr. Brinson, Monroe has lost a citizen of the highest type. Loved and respected by all who knew him, and the finest example of Christian manhood. George Brinson occupied a place in the hearts of all of his associates that makes his passing a severe blow.”
Mr. Brinson was a veteran of the World war and a member of the Legion post at New Orleans.
