The Semi-Weekly Messenger (Wilmington NC) 8 February 1898
A most horrible death occurred here at Holly Grove academy, five miles east of
here last night. George Bryant was very much under the influence of liquor when
last seen at Swing's mill, last night; and this morning a little girl on her way
to school discovered his body lying in the road a few hundred yards beyond the
academy from the mill. He had fallen face downward in the mud, with both hands
under him and died, it is presumed from the effects of fire, which had consumed
all his clothing except his overalls, which were slipped down about his feet.
Investigation showed that the flesh was burned and charred all over his body,
and the skin crisped and soughed.
