DEATH CALLS PROMINENT MAN
Otto Brice Lives Only Short Time After Suffering a Cerebral Hemorrhage.
Many, many people of Oneonta and Blount County were greatly shocked when the word came that Otto Brice was dead. His passing comes as a surprise to everyone as he was only ill a few hours. Mr. Brice arose Sunday morning feeling as well as usual. He was shaving about 8:30 when he told his wife that he was not feeling so well. Becoming steadily worse, he decided to lie down a few minutes. Mrs. Brice called a doctor and upon his arrival, decided to carry him to Birmingham to the hospital. He became unconscious before leaving Oneonta and never rallied before he died at 12:00. Death was attributed to a cerebral hemorrhage. A member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of this county, Otto Brice was known to the majority of the people of this section. He was 52 years of age and for many years had been a member of the firm of J. A. Brice & Son. For many years this firm was in the general mercantile and cotton business, and later the insurance and fertilizer business. In his many years of dealing with the people of Blount County, Mr. Brice had established a reputation as a good businessman who treated all as he would like to be treated himself.
As a member of the Methodist Church, he gave unstintingly of both his means and his time, and for many years served as a member of the Board of Stewards. Every pastor who had served his church soon learned that Otto could be depended upon the most when things were the most trying. He was a Mason and a member of various civic organizations, and always took an interest in any movement for the betterment of his community.
Surviving is the widow; one son, Clarence Otto; one daughter, Mrs. William Nelson of Sheffield; father, J. A. Brice, Birmingham; two brothers, Norvel, of Paris, Tenn., and H. H. Camp: Stewart, Ga.; four sisters, Mrs. Sam Ingram, Oklahoma City, Okla., Mrs. Manning Holmes, Mrs. Dewey Fountain and Mrs. S. W. Bayless, Birmingham.
Funeral services were held at the Lester Memorial Church Monday afternoon at 3:00 and were conducted by Revs. O. E. Kirby, of Roanoke, and Joseph Owens, of Oneonta. Interment was in the family cemetery, Robinette in charge. Active pallbearers were M. J. Kelley, H. C. McPherson, Jr., J. P. Nation, T.B. Prickett, Ebb Maynor, and W. W Wilson.
