MISS C. WINTER, ACCIDENT VICTIM, IS BURIED HERE

Following funeral services held in Savannah early yesterday afternoon, the 
body of Miss Christine Winter, former well known Brunswick resident, was 
buried in Oak Grove cemetery here later in the afternoon.  The funeral was 
attended by relatives and a large number of Savannah and Brunswick friends.

Miss Winter, who for years was a Brunswick music teacher and who has been 
teaching violin in Savannah for 35 years, was fatally injured in Savannah 
Saturday night when she was struck by an automobile.  The automobile was 
driven by Velma Boynton, of Savannah, according to a report made by Savannah 
police.  The report said Miss Winter was walking across the street when she 
was hit by the car.

Miss Boynton was detained on charges of involuntary manslaughter at a hearing 
in police court yesterday, and the hearing was continued until Wednesday for 
conclusion.  Witnesses for the driver of the car testified Miss Winter was 
walking across the street at an angle and not at an intersection, but some 25 
or 30 yards from the intersection. Witnesses also testified she appeared to 
have walked directly in front of the automobile and that it was practically 
impossible for Miss Boynton to avoid striking her.

Miss Winter was a sister of the late T.F. Winter, who was engaged in the 
tailoring business in Brunswick for a quarter century or more.  She was a 
native of Sweden and recently visited her sister in Stockholm.  Not being a 
naturalized American citizen her return to the United States, which had been 
her home for most of her life, met with difficulties.  Her many friends, 
however, convinced the government she had a right to reside in the United 
States.  She was permitted to re-enter and she announced at the time she would 
take steps to get citizenship papers.
