ALFRED CHRISTIE PASSES AWAY TODAY—Well Known Brunswick Physician Dies Following Cerebral Hemorrhage Dr. Alfred Christie, 66, well known and popular Brunswick physician, passed away at his home 1901 F street, at 8:30 o’clock this morning following a cerebral hemorrhage at an early hour today. Dr. Christie was taken ill at his office on Tuesday and was carried to his home. His condition was not at that time considered serious but complications developed and the hemorrhage this morning proved fatal. Dr. Christie had practiced medicine in Brunswick for the past thirty-two years. He graduated in 1897 at the Baltimore Physicians and Surgeons college, and after practicing here for a few years he took a post graduate course, abroad, attending college in both London and Edinburgh, Scotland. Returning here he resumed his practice and has been engaged in it continuously ever since. Dr. Christie had a large practice, and during all of these years he has devoted much of his time to charity work. The deceased was first married in this city many years ago to Miss Lee Treadwell, and by this union one son was born, Alfred Christie, Jr., who is now residing in Washington, D.C. Several years after the death of his first wife he was married to Miss Ainslie Maxwell, of Savannah. He is survived by his widow, his son and one adopted daughter, Miss Catherine Christie. Dr. Christie devoted much of his time to secret organizations and has headed a number of the orders of which he was a member. He was a member of the Masons, J.O.U.A.M., Oglethorpe lodge, Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows, and also was worthy patron in the Marshes of Glynn chapter of the Eastern Star. He was one of the oldest Masons in this city and one of the few 32nd degree members here. The deceased was popular among an unusually large number of friends throughout the city. He had in years past devoted much time to civic, secret order and charity work, and he kept this interest for years, but his failing health and heavy practice in recent years caused him to discontinue much of this work. The funeral will be held from the residence Sunday morning at 10:00 o’clock, Undertaker Edo Miller in charge, and Rev. Royal K. Tucker, of St. Mark’s Episcopal church, conducting the service, assisted by Rev. O.P. Gilbert. The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Fred Lockwood, Dr. H.M. Branham, M.J. Welsh, J.H. Gilmore, J.K. Cornelius, C.L. Elliot. All members of lodges of which Dr. Christie was a member are asked to attend in a body as an honorary escort. The Masons and Eastern Star will officiate at the grave.
