Albany Boy Dies In Auto Smashup

Albany, Ga., November 9 – Walter Thompson, 19, well-known Albany boy, was 
killed instantly early Sunday morning on the Dixie highway, just north of 
Leesburg, when an automobile in which he was riding left the road and dashed 
into a ditch.  Three others in the car escaped serious injury and were able to 
come on to Albany.

W. Scott and Sterling and Loring Gay, also of Albany, were in the car.  Scott 
was driving and is believed to have lost control of the machine in the 
darkness as he rounded a curve.  The accident happened about 1:30 o’clock 
Sunday morning as the party was returning from Americus to Albany via 
Leesburg.  It is said that the machine was being driven at moderate speed.
Thompson’s neck was broken and he died instantly.  

He was the son of Mrs. Jane Thompson, widow, of this city and member of a well 
known family.
