SAMUEL BARNES WORRELL

SAM BARNES WORRELL BURNED TO DEATH IN AUTO CRASH TUESDAY

   Sam Barnes Worrell, for the last five years a resident of Franklin before 
moving to Suffolk a few months ago, was killed in an automobile accident of 
the Suffolk-Smithfield Highway early Tuesday morning. Mr. Worrell’s own car 
had gotten out of order near the Willie Rountree farm, and Mr. Worrell 
accompanied by George Cahoon, an employee at the Rountree place, was returning 
from Suffolk where they had gone for a garage man to repair the Worrell car, 
when the smash occurred.

   Crashing into a telephone pole, the big Hudson sedan turned over pinning 
Worrell underneath. The car caught fire and Worrell was terribly burned; 
Cahoon sustaining slight burns and a broken leg, besides other minor injuries. 
Passers-by extricated Worrell from the wreckage and he died at Lakeview 
Hospital at 8 o’clock, five hour after the wreck.

   Mr. Worrell was a native of Murfreesboro, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. 
Jesse Worrell, his father being killed in a sawmill accident when his sons was 
an infant.

He is survived by two uncles, J.H. Barnes of Como, J.L. Barnes of Suffolk; an 
aunt, Mrs. W.R. Bolton of Norfolk, besides other relatives and a number of 
friends here.

   Funeral services were conducted at the graveside in Cedar Hill Cemetery, 
Suffolk, by Dr. W.W. Staley and the body bearers were Harry, J.B. and Rudolph 
Barnes, Lewis Daniel, Al Young, Owen Forbes and J. Richard Howell of Franklin. 
Honorary pallbearers were members of the force of the People’s Life Insurance 
Company of Suffolk with whom Mr. Worrell was associated.
