Gilbon H. Green Drowns

Mr. Gilbon H. Green was drowned in Flint River last 
Friday afternoon about four o'clock.
A party of friends that morning left for the river to go 
seining and Mr. Green with them, all of them friends 
and neighbors from the Second District.  He and a 
friend were crossing the river with a seine and in 
some manner, when they reached deep water he 
was caught in the seine and soon sunk before 
assistance could reach him.  There was quite a 
number of them on the river at them time but they 
were scattered.
His body was soon fished out and brought to 
Hollonville and Mr. P. M. Sullivan went from 
here in car and brought it to Jim Buchanan's 
with whom he lived.
He was drowned not two hundred feet from where 
Clarke McGahee was drowned some 15 years ago.
The deceased was about 40 years old and well 
thought of by all who knew him.  His parents are 
both dead but he has a brother and sister in Texas.
He was a member of Flat Rock Primative church 
where his funeral was preached Saturday by Elder 
J. A. Wright in the presence of a large crowd of friends.
The whole community was shocked and grieved to 
hear of his untimely death.  He had many friends 
who sympathize with his relatives.

Additional Comments:
Gilbin was the son of Franklin DeKalb Green and Sarah Melissa Smith Green.
