Mr. Stokes Stegar Drowned In Flint River Last Week

Mr. Stokes Stegar, age 35, was drowned in Flint River last Friday just below 
the dam at Sullivan’s Mill. His body was recovered a half mile down the stream 
Monday afternoon. Burial was at the Williamson Methodist church Tuesday 
morning, services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. D.P. Johnston.

At the time of the tragedy the river was up and Mr. Stegar with Mr. Ballard, 
was in a boat which was drawn near the dam by the suction. Both men jumped out 
and Mr. Ballard succeeded in swimming to the bank but Mr. Stegar was carried 
down by the suction.

Mr. Stegar lived about four miles south of Williamson and [was] a son of Mrs. 
Susie Stegar who lives between Zebulon and Williamson. He was a brother of 
David and Robert Stegar; a nephew of Messrs. F.W. Stegar of Zebulon and K.D. 
and Lowe Huckaby.

The many friends of the family sincerely sympathize with them in this sad 
death.
