AGED MAN DIES IN TERRAPIN CREEK

Piedmont, Ala., Mar. 3

James Coleman Nelson, 69 of Esom Hill, Ga., Route 1, was drowned Tuesday 
morning about 8 o'clock in Little Terrapin Creek, about three miles south of 
Esom Hill. Nelson, who had spent Monday night with Charlie Chandler near 
Esom Hill, left Tuesday morning, saying he was going to Palestine. In some 
unaccountable way, the aged man waded into the creek, stumbled and fell and 
was carried down the creek about a half mile, where his body was found 
several hours later, with one hand protruding above the water.

Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. J.T. Arrington of Esom Hill and Mrs. Annie 
Chandler of Cedartown, Ga.; a brother, H.H. Nelson of Birmingham and several 
nieces and nephews, among whom is Lloyd Arrington of Piedmont.

Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Arrington's 
Chapel. Interment was in the church cemetery.
