James Poag MeMurray, second son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. MeMurray, of Fort Mill, met instant death Sunday night shortly before 9 o'clock as a result of a collision between his automobile and a team. The rear end of the automobile struck a horse and Mr. MeMurray was found a few minutes later sitting with his hands on the steering wheel, breathing his last. With his brother, Joe MeMurray of Rock Hill, Mr. MeMurray had spent Sunday at the home of his father in this city and when the accident occurred was en route to his home at York, where for a number of vears he had held the position of cashier of the Loan and Savings Bank. He was alone when the collision took place, Mr. Joe McMurray having left the machine at Rock Hill. The accident occurred a short distance above Winthrop college, Rock Hill, where the road makes a sharp turn, the automobile meeting a negro in a buggy going into Rock Hill. The front of the machine passed safely, but the rear struck the horse, breaking a leg of the animal, smashing the front wheel and damaging the rear of the machine. The negro was thrown out, but not seriously hurt. The machine was found standing in the road some 100 feet further on with Mr. McMnrray sitting in his natural position, and it was evident that he had cut off the gas and applied the emergency brake before striking the buggy. Dr. T. R. Carothers, whose home is near where the accident occurred, was hastily summoned and found Mr. McMurray breathing his last. The seventh rib on the right side was broken and it was evident that death was caused by contact with the steering wheel. Mr. McMurrav was 35 vears of age, and was well known throughout this and adjoining counties. Surviving are his parents and the following brothers and sisters: Dr. W. S. McMurray, of Loekhart; Mrs. J. W. YVylie, of Greensboro, N. C.; J. H. Mc-j Murray. Jr., of Rock Hill; Miss Louise McMurray, of Estill; Di\ Leroy McMurray. of Fernandina, Fla.; C. S. McMurray, of Rock Hill, and Miss Esther McMurray, of Fort Mill. Interment was made in New : Unity cemetery, this city, Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, after services at the home by the Rev. R. K. Timmons, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. E. E. Gillespie, of York. Many prominent people, friends of the deceased, from this and adjoining counties attended the service. Tribute to Mr. McMurray. In the death of Mr. J. P. McMurray the town of Yorkville has sustained a profound shock that has been further accentuated by the tragic suddenness of the sad occurrence. Mr. McMurray was one of the most generally liked young men of thp fnu'n lirvtL Uio wmi, uuin in mo tcipctuiiy as cashier of the Loan and Savings bank and as an individual. As a bank official he was careful, accurate, kind and obliging, discreet and efficient. He was uniformly considerate of rich and poor, high ana low, always had a good word and a pleasant greeting for everybody and was never heard to speak ill of anybody. In speaking of him in his absence, most of his familiars referred to him as "J. McMurray," and always in a; tone of appreciation. He had many close friends in the community, and they were to be found among all classes of the population. Family and loved ones may feel assured that in their fearful grief over this disdistressing visitation, they have throughout the town and the country surrounding, a feeling of sympathy that goes all the deeper because of a sense of personal loss. ? Yorkville Enquirer. Claude Sapp Weds. Claude N. Sapp, of Lancaster, assistant attorney general of South Carolina, and Miss Mary Davis, also of Lancaster, were married in Charlotte Monday evening at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. George C.
