The Ellaville Sun  Friday, October 22, 1937  
J.S. MOTT, 39, TAKEN BY DEATH
Former Schley Man Dies In N.C.
Schley County relatives and friends were shocked this week by the tragic death 
of Sergeant J.S. Mott, 39, near Raeford, N.C., last Saturday.

An Associated Press dispatch said Mott, a Fort Bragg reservation ranger, was 
found shot to death near Raeford Saturday and Sheriff D.H. Hodgin, of Hoke 
County, expressed belief deer hunters were probably responsible.

Before joining the army, Mott made his home with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom 
Mott in Andrew Chapel Community and was a member of the Andrew Chapel 
(church?) and Sunday School.

He remained in the arm(y) after the close of the World War and was stationed 
at Fort Bragg.

Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Mary Mott, and two children of Reaford, N.C.; 
his mother, Mrs. Hattie Mott of Schley County; two sisters, Mrs. C.A. McCrae 
of Sumter County and Mrs. Irwin Robertson of Pompano, Fla.; three brothers, Ed 
Mott of Orlando, Fla.; Jewette Mott of Augusta, Ga. and Rodolph Mott of Schley 
County.



Additional Comments:
As subsequent article in the Sun revealed J.S. Mott's first name as John.
