Berrien Young Man Killed in Car Wreck
	Leon L. Parrish, 24, was killed almost instantly on Tuesday afternoon 
about 2:45 o’clock when his automobile was wrecked on the Alapaha-Tifton Highway 
near Enigma.
	Mr. Parrish was riding alone in the automobile, a 1935 Tudor Ford, when 
the machine overturned several times, running down an embankment before 
stopping.  Mr. Parrish was thrown from the car and pinned underneath.  He died a 
few minutes after he was removed.  His neck was broken and he suffered severe 
internal injuries.
	Funeral services were held at Pleasant Cemetery Wednesday afternoon at 2 
o’clock.  Rev. L.A. Hancock conducted the services held at the graveside.  Pall-
bearers were Joe Brown Myers, Ralph McDaniel, Caulie Singletary, Johnnie Wade, 
Charles Connell, and Willie Hendley.
	Mr. Parrish was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leon L. Parrish, both deceased, 
of Berrien County.  He was born in this county on September 29, 1914, and raised 
by Mrs. Lucious Gaskins since the death of his parents when he was about ten 
years old.  He attended the Nashville schools.  In 1937 he was married to Miss 
Zeldee Hendley, by whom he is survived.
	Surviving him besides his widow are a sister, Mrs. Ruth Alexander, and 
his grandfather, Mr. John Q. Allen, both of Nashville.
