Marion County Patroit
Burial of Mr. Minter

The remains of Mr. J. R. Minter, Jr., arrived from Florida last Saturday 
afternoon and were buried at the Methodist cemetery, Rev. Geo. S. Johnstone 
officiating. It was intended that the remains reach here Friday afternoon but 
they missed connection at Albany. He had many friends in this section who were 
pained to learn of the sad accident.

Mr. Minter's death was the result of a deplorable incident.

A lad of twelve years had started out bird hunting and stopped for a moment at 
Mr. Minter's home, where he was to be joined by a companion. Mr. Minter was 
talking pleasantly to the little fellows when one of them accidently 
discharged his gun. 

The entire charge, fired at very close range, took effect in Minter's neck, 
breaking it, and of course killling him instantly.
