Agee, of Waycross, 21 years of age, was drowned at St. Simons yesterday afternoon while in surf bathing. His body was recovered this morning, a mile from where the young man lost his life. The drowning was witnessed by a number of Sunday excursionists who were on the pier, in the surf and on a steamer when the young man was drowned. From all accounts it seems that he attempted to swim to the steamer when he was attacked by a cramp. Two boys who were nearby went to his assistance, but they were unable to save him and in the presence of the crowd he was drowned. Young Agee came to Brunswick a few months ago to work in a shipbuilding plant. It is understood Agee is the third son the parents have lost within the past few months, two having passed away at their home. The body was shipped to Waycross this afternoon for interment.
