LINDSEY DIED TUESDAY OF ACCIDENTAL WOUNDS

Shot in Left Thigh With Shotgun; Buried Here Yesterday Afternoon

	Mr. J.W. Lindsey of the Ray City section died Tuesday morning at a 
Valdosta hospital, following a gunshot wound which he received Monday afternoon 
at about 6 o’clock at the home of his sister, Mrs. T.R. Cox of near Ray City.

	It is said that Mr. Lindsey stated before he died that a gun which he 
held in his hands fired and that it was entirely accidental.  The load took 
effect in the left thigh and severed a large artery, death coming from loss of 
blood and shock, according to doctors attending the wounded man.

	Immediately following the shooting he was rushed to a Valdosta hospital 
by the Tygart ambulance, death coming at about 8:30 p.m.

	The deceased was 32 years of age, was born and reared at McRae, and for 
the past several years had been living with his sister at Ray City.  He was a 
World War veteran and since has been suffering from gas and other injuries 
which he received in the war.

	The funeral service was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the 
Cox home near Ray City in charge of Rev. A.H. Giddens of this city.  Interment 
followed in the Nashville cemetery at about 4:30 o’clock.  He is survived by 
one sister, Mrs. T.R. Cox.  Names of other relatives were not available.
