WM. C. HOOD PASSES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Popular Young Man Died Early This Morning at City Hospital
    
	William C. Hood, 24 years of age, prominent young Brunswick citizen, 
passed away at the City hospital at 1 o'clock this morning, following a short 
illness.  News of his death came as a shock to his host of Brunswick friends.
    	Attacked early Monday morning with a hemorrhage of the lungs, young 
Mr. Hood was later in the day removed to the hospital, and attending 
physicians at once realized that his condition was serious.  Everything 
possible was done for him and after a consultation of physicians a blood 
transfusion was decided upon.  A half dozen or more friends of the popular 
young man volunteered for the operation and blood specimens were made 
preparatory to the transfusion.  It was then too late, however, as the end was 
near and a short time afterwards Mr. Hood passed away.  The physicians stated 
that it is very doubtful whether or not the transfusion would have been of any 
aid, but it was decided as a last resort in the efforts made to save the young 
man's life.
    	Bill Hood, as he was familiarly known by his many friends, came to 
Brunswick about three years ago from Lake Wales, Fla., where he was connected 
with the Gillican-Chipley Company, and has since been in the naval stores 
department of the company here, having been associated with the company for 
the past eight years.  During the short time that he had been a resident of 
Brunswick he had made many close friends and was one of the most popular young 
men in the city.
    	The deceased is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Hood, of 
Covington, La., two brothers, Arthur and Schley Hood, of Amile, La., five 
sisters, Mrs. J.W. Burns, of Franklington, La., Mrs. Dr. Sebey, of Salt Lake 
City, Utah, Mrs. Jessie Helms, and Misses Edith and Jimmie Hood, Covington.  
He was a nephew of W.A. Hood of this city.
    	Funeral services will be held at the parlors of Mortician Edo Miller 
tonight at 7:30 o'clock, and the body will leave for the family home in 
Louisiana at 8:05 over the Coast Line.  The body will be escorted to the depot 
by a delegation representing the Brunswick lodge of Elks, of which the 
deceased was a popular member.
