James Mullsneaux and Charles Samples
Find Death in the Chattahoochee.
James Mu llineaux, aged 23 years, and
Charles Samples, 28 years old, broth
ers-in-law and tenant farmers, were"
drowned in the Chattahoochee river,
just above Pirkle’s ferry, Tuesday ev
ening of last weeds, at about 4 o’clock.
Both men, so it is alleged, were drink
ing, and, procuring a boat and inviting
an unknown negro boy liying in Cum-*
ming to accompany them, paddled out
upon tb e river to set a traut line. It is
not known exactly how the accident
occurred, the only living witness, the
negro, having been too badly fright
ened when the boat capsized to be able
to recall any of the incidents of the fa
tality. He says:
"We all wuz on de ribber, when sut-
tinly dat boat tuhn obah, an’I kaint
swim an’ wuz mos’ skeered toh de’f.
When I riz from de wattab I jes’ grab
bed de boat which wuz buttom-side*up,
an’ dere 1 hung an’ drifted twell mah
feet done tech bottom. Den I wade
out an 5 nevah stops runnin’ twell I gits
plumb home.' 5
It is a fact that the negro was so bad
ly frightened that he ran all the wav
to Cumming; Being brought back that
night he told the aboye story and
pointed out the spot where the boat
overturned. Both of the drowned men
were superb swimmers, but, when the
boat capsized, Mulllneaux sank to the
bottom like a plummet of lead, and his
body was found lying upon the river
bottom Wednesdav evening. Samples
swam toward the river bank, tp which
his wite and Henry Shadburn had been
attracted by his cries for help. They
counselled him to keep afloat until
boat could be procured to come to his
rescue, but for some unaccountable
reason be turned about when nearly to
the bank and started for the opposite
shore. When he had swum about fif
teen feet, he too went down, his body*
being recovered immediately thereaf
ter.
Both men were married. Mullineaux
leaves a wife and eight children, and
Samples a wife and six children. The
double funeral took place Thursday at
. Beaver Run Baptist church, Forsyth
.county, Rev. Richard Thompson offici
dating. An enormous crowd of rela
tives and friends followed the bodies
to the place of burial, and the sad event
has spread a mantle of 'gloom over
Roberts district, in the lower part of
which the drowned men lived and were
well known.
