John Henry Passmore Died Sunday in Florida
Brought to Nashville Monday and Buried Tuesday Afternoon
	Yulee, Fla., June 13. – John Henry Passmore, 22, of Nashville, Ga., lost 
his life in the waters of Bell River, eight miles east of Yulee, Sunday 
afternoon.  Death was attributed to a heart attack brought on by excitement 
incident to recover oars to the boat in which he and boy friend had been rowing.
	Passmore’s body was recovered quickly and first aid measures applied.  
The efforts at resuscitation developed the fact that there was no water in the 
lungs of the accident victim.  This, together with the information furnished by 
his hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Buckingham Miller, of Glenwood to the effect, led to the 
conclusion that death was due to a heart attack rather than to drowning.
	The accident occurred about five o’clock Sunday afternoon.  Passmore and 
his friend had been rowing on the river for some time when they lost their oars 
overboard.  Both young men plunged into the river after the oars, the young 
Georgian apparently being stricken immediately with a heart attack.
	Passmore had been married but one month.  He and his bride had been on a 
honeymoon visit for the last two weeks as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Miller.  His 
widow, who was at the scene at the time, is grief-stricken.  The young man was a 
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Passmore, of Nashville.
*****
	The above is a press dispatch sent to all of the daily papers and so far 
as could be learned is just about correct.  The boy friend referred to was B.C. 
Yopp, son of Mrs. Frank Yopp also of this city.  Young Yopp was nearly drowned 
himself in an effort to save the deceased and was also subjected to treatment.
	The body was brought to Nashville Monday from Florida by hearse, and 
carried to the home of Mrs. Frank Yopp.  Funeral services were held at the Yopp 
home, being conducted by Rev. Joe Brown Nix, in the presence of a large number 
of sorrowing friends and relatives.  Interment followed in the Nashville 
cemetery at 3 o’clock.
	Those surviving are:  His widow, a bride of about a month, who was 
formerly Miss Mildred Dampier, one sister, Miss Mary Alice Passmore, and his 
father, Mr. J.Q. Passmore, both of Nashville.
