Tragic Car Crash Kills Hamlet Hotel Manager
A Friday morning automobile accident near a railroad crossing in Hamlet killed John McKee Jamison, hotel proprietor and prominent local figure, and fatally injured his wife and others. His wife Mrs. Jamison survived, while sons John and Paul and Mrs. Bagwell and her son were injured. Jamison owned the Stonewall Hotel and was a noted South business leader. The crash occurred as train No. 62A northbound struck their car at a crossing near Breighy, with Jamison attempting to clear the tracks and the brakes failing. The party was en route for a short excursion when the tragedy unfolded.
