Roanoke Leader
One of the most deplorable tragedies that ever occurred in Roanoke was that of 
last Thursday night, August 14, about 9 o'clock, when Lloyd Jones and Handley 
Dunson met sudden death while riding a motorcycle. The young men, each about 21 
years of age, were riding rapidly out on Wedowee street, going north, and in 
rounding the curve they dashed into the rear of a parked automobile in front of 
the West house. The car belonged to Rev. C. W. Stitt. It was hurled forward a 
considerable distance and badly damaged. As a result of the impact young Jones 
was instantly killed, while his companion lived for about thirty minutes. The 
entire community was shocked by this terrible accident and in every way possible 
manifested the sympathy felt for the families of the unfortunate young men. 
Lloyd Jones was the son of Mrs. L. R. Jones and was married. Handley Dunson was 
the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Dunson. The funeral of the former was conduct ed 
at the Baptist church Saturday afternoon. Rev. W. E. Lockler being in charge of 
the last rites. Mr. Dunson's funeral was conducted by Rev. J. D. Dollar at the 
First Christian church at 10:30 Saturday morning. Interment in both cases was in 
the city cemetery.
