Goldsboro News Argus, August 21,1935 
Rites Thursday For Victim of Logging Mishap
George F. Pipkin, 58, of Buck Swamp Dies of Injuries

 Funeral for George F. Pipkin, 58, Buck Swamp township lumberman who died 
Tuesday night of injuries received when a tree fell on him, will be held from 
Ebenezer Methodist church at 11 o'clock Thursday morning. Rev. Mr. Farrar of 
Bailey will be in charge of the service. Burial will be made in the family plot.
 Mr. Pipkin, well known in the northwest section of Wayne, was engaged in 
logging operations not far from his home last Thursday. In some manner 
unexplained he was struck by a falling tree.
 It took several men nearly three hours to extricate his body from beneath the 
large tree. He was brought to the Goldsboro Hospital in an ambulance, and an 
examination showed that his body had been badly crushed. His condition had been 
serious from the time he was brought to the hospital.
 Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Viola Gurley Pipkin and the following brothers 
and sisters: Misses Mary and Smithie Pipkin of Buck Swamp, Mrs. A. J. Price of 
Selma, Mrs. R. R. Atkinson of Charlotte and David Pipkin of Buck Swamp.
 The following have been named to serve as pallbearers; Luby Edwards, E. M. 
Davis, Bill Thompson, Mr. Caldwell, Redmond Johnson, Nathan Crawford, Haschal 
Edgerton and Luther Hales.
