Young Man Dies After Auto Wreck

A death that caused much sorrow in this section was that of Allen Thomas 
Strickland, fourteen year old son of Mr. John A. Strickland, of Canon, which was 
caused from injuries received in an automobile accident.  While he and a companion 
was driving by the cemetery at Bowersville the driver lost control of the car and 
struck a telephone pole and threw young Strickland against some part of the car 
causing a fractured skull.  He was rushed to the hospital in Royston but died a 
few hours later from a hemorrhage of the brain.  The other young man was only 
slightly injured.

Funeral services for Mr. Strickland were conducted Monday afternoon at five 
o'clock by Rev. A.H. Holland in Canon and interment followed in the Canon 
Cemetery. The large crowd to attend the funeral attested to the high regard in 
which the young man was held.

Besides his father, Mr. J.A. Strickland, he is survived by two brothers, Woodrow 
and Logan Strickland; two sisters, Frances and Louise Strickland, of Canon; two 
half brothers, Mr. Marco Strickland of Royston and Ralph Strickland of Atlanta.

The relatives have the deepest sympathy in the untimely passing of their loved 
one.  The father is a prominent business man and farmer of Canon and well known 
throughout the county.
