Dickerson 12 Aug 1955 - Donald T. Dickerson, 33, of nearby Thomasville, Ga., and husband of the former Imogene Wright of Many, was killed in a car crash near here during a heavy rainstorm late Saturday afternoon. Final rites were at Cool Branch Baptist church and cemetery, Carlisle, S. C., Tuesday at 11 a.m. The body was taken there Monday by Forsyth Funeral Home here. Mr. Dickerson, a native of South Carolina, had for the past four months been a pipeline superintendent of South Georgia Natural Gas Co., Inc., now nearing completion of a transmission system to serve this area. He was formerly employed in Louisiana and had been married 2 1/2 years. He was a victim of a freak mishap in a heavy downpour of rain on US 84 at small Brumbley creek four miles east of Cairo about 4 p.m. Saturday. A motorist travelling eastward toward Thomasville behind him said he was travelling 45 to 50 miles per hour and that he was apparently blinded by a big splash of water accumulated on the roadway at the bridge approach and that the car then struck a guard rail, causing it to swing around completely against the heavy concrete bridge railing. Mr. Dickerson, the only occupant of the car, was thrown through the front door window on the opposite side 20 feet upstream into a creek hole 15-feet deep. Cairo firemen, Sheriff C. H. Strickland, state patrolmen and others responded quickly and began searching for the submerged body. Partly because the water was muddy from the heavy rain, the body was not recovered until about 45 minutes later. Firemen has resuscitator equipment ready and it was used extensively to no avail. Dr. C. K. Singleton, at the scene, said death was due either to a head injury or drowning or a combination of both. Survivors, in addition to his wife, include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Dickerson, Carlisle, S. C.; and two sisters, Miss Doris Dickerson, of Carlisle; and Mrs. Robert Holly, Rockhill, S. C. Melton Wright and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Petty left by plane from Shreveport Sunday morning to attend the funeral. ******************************************************************* Obituaries: Ersel Lampin, Sabine Parish L-515 Source: Sabine Index, Many, La., Aug 12, 1955 Submitted by: Tammy Larche-Smith tammy@cp-tel.net ********************************************** Copyright.
