Georgie Lee Hutcherson
Monday, August 12, just as the sun was sinking in the far off West, the spirit of little Georgia
Lee Hutcherson took its homeward flight to the great beyond. He had been sick the past eight
weeks and on Sunday night developed pneumonia which hastened the end. He was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Odell Hutcherson, and besides his parents, leaves to mourn his going away, two sisters
and two brothers. He will be greatly missed in the home here, but he has gone to the home not
made by hands. We must not think of him as dead, but only sleeping. Georgia Lee was born March
22, 1928. His remains were laid to rest in Prospect Cemetery. The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. M. F. Savage of Ripley. Mrs. Mary Burlison of Brownsville; Mrs. Gertie Hutcherson of
Memphis; Mr. & Mrs. Charlie Ray of Ripley; Mrs. Maggie Grantham of Covington; Mr. &
Mrs. Tom Ray and Mrs. Emma Ray of Curve were among those who attended the services from a distance.

Hubert UNDERWOOD, 35, was shot and killed at a distillery site on the Haywood-Madison County
lines this afternoon at 5 o'clock by Dave McCAGE, deputy sheriff, when the former attempted
to take the latter's pistol, and the deputy then loaded the dead man in his automobile and brought
the corpse and two other men, Jack & J. W. IVEY, to this city, where the deputy surrendered
to Sheriff R. A. MAINERD and gave bond for $2000 for his appearance on the charge of manslaughter.
According to the statement of the IVEYs and McCAGE, UNDERWOOD was told to consider himself under
arrest, whereupon, he advanced upon the deputy with a stick and grabbed the pistol which the
officer held. The officer thereupon opened fire, the ball striking back of the left ear and
killing UNDERWOOD instantly. Deputy McCAGE ordered the two IVEYs, also found at the still site,
to assist him in placing the body of the 200 pound man in the car and they then drove to Jackson,
a distance of 15 miles. Neither of the IVEYs were put under arrest tonight. Charges may later
be preferred against them and also against Andrew CLAY, colored, found near the still site.
The distillery site was in Panther Creek bottom where a number of illicit stills have been found
of late. A version of the difficulty as brought back by Mr. UNDERWOOD, brother of the dead man,
is quite different from the report as above reproduced from Jackson. He stated that Hubert was
commissioned by the officer to go with him to arrest a negro at the still; that they did arrest
the negro, and after having done so, he says the officer gave the black a good beating and was
in the act of whipping the negro again, when Hubert remonstrated with him in an effort to get
him not to do so, saying that he thought the negro had been whipped enough; whereupon, he claims,
the officer became enraged at him and a difficulty followed which UNDERWOOD was killed. BURGESS
& PETERS, undertakers, in company with Mr. A. J. UNDERWOOD, brother of the deceased, went
after the remains and brought them to Ripley Monday morning. After being prepared for burial,
they were carried to the home of his parents, Mr. & Mrs. G. J. UNDERWOOD, on Brownsville
Street, where the funeral was held Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock, followed by interment in
Prospect Cemetery near Flippen. The deceased is survived by a wife and five children.
