Ashland Progress
Homer Thompson, 28 years old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Thompson, of Lineville, 
was drowned in the Coosa River rear Verbena last Friday. He was the employee of 
the Alabama Power Company and was at work with others at a raft. A wind arose and 
made it necessary for him to swim across a portion of the river perhaps when in 
some way. due to cramp, he was caught under the current and drowned before it was 
possible for any of his companions to rescue him. His body was brought to 
Lineville for interment and the funeral service was held Monday afternoon at 3:30 
o'clock. He was a brother of Mrs. Addie Gay of Ashland.
