Drowning caused Augustan's Death, Inquest Reveals
Funeral services Held Yesterday Afternoon for Marshall (Jack) Lott
Marshall (Jack) Lott, 64, Augustan whose body was found in the Savannah River 
near the foot of East Boundary Sunday afternoon, came to his death by drowning, 
a coroner's jury decided after an inquest yesterday morning.  The coroner said 
there was no evidence sufficient to warrant any qualifying statement as to the 
manner in which he was drowned.
Mr Lott, who was a widely known and popular Augustan, disappeared from his home 
Tuesday morning, and when he had failed to return by Thursday, his sister, with 
whom he lives, notified the police.  Investigation revealed that he was seen 
several times during the day Tuesday.  John J Sullivan, believed to be the last 
person to see Mr Lott alive, testified at the inquest that he saw him late 
Tuesday afternoon on the south side of Broad street near Washington street, 
walking in the direction of East Boundry.
Was In Shoe Business
He was said to have been despondent because of his unemployment and financial 
condition.  He was for years connected with the Edwards Clothing company, where 
he worked in the shoe department until that firm discontinued business some 
time ago, and since that time he had, it is said, been unable to obtain regular 
employment.
Officials said that from the condition of the body, it had been in the water 
for several days when found by three boys, "Doc" Garner, of 12 Ellis Street; 
Grover Jenkins, of 13 Ellis Streets, and Reynolds Daniels, of 412 Second 
Street, Sunday afternoon near the dock of the Pure Oli Company.
Funeral services for Mr Lott were held at Platt's Funeral Hom yesterday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock.  The Rev EC Sheridan, pastor of Curtis Baptist Church, 
officiated and interment was in the cemetery at Monetta, SC.
Mr Lott is survived by his sister, Miss Sally Lott; one niece, Mrs JO Hill, 
both of Augusta, and one nephew, AJ Ramsey of Monetta.
