J. T. Maxey, 27, of Hodge, met his death in Nashville, Tenn., last Saturday either by a hit and run auto driver or by falling or being thrown from a southbound passenger train, according to police reports from Nashville. He
was found dead in a street near the railroad track.
Maxey, the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Maxey of Winnfield, had been employed at Hodge until several weeks ago, when he went to Pensacola, Fla., to work as a boiler maker. He presumably did not take the work and was making his way back to his home in Hodge. Police identified him by his social security card and by letters in his pocket from his wife.
Ten [sic Eight] years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Maxey of Winnfield lost another son, Clabe, in a similar manner. Enroute to California, he was killed June 30, 1930 [sic 1932], at Cisco, Texas, by a passenger train.
The remains of J. T. Maxey arrived here at 4 p.m. Monday and funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the South Winnfield Methodist Church of which the deceased was a member. The Rev. Alwin Stokes officiated.
Acting as pallbearers were Aaron Bratton, Leon Varnell, Arnold Burkes, Sye Varnell, Leonard Evans, and Dallas Varnell.
Surviving are the deceased's wife, Mrs. Iris Allbritton Maxey and son, J. T., Jr., of Jonesboro; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Maxey, of Winnfield; three sisters, Bessie, Elois, and Doris, Winnfield; and four brothers, Roberts and Arthur Ray, Winnfield; Clarence of Jonesboro, and George of Gerlach, Nevada.
