CAPT. A.W. BRIGGS DIES IN DUBLIN

Capt. Arthur W. Briggs, 76, a resident of Brunswick and Glynn County all of his life, died yesterday in the Dublin VA Hospital, after a several days illness. He was carried to Dublin Tuesday for treatment.

Capt. Briggs had spent his entire life in Brunswick and on Jekyll Island, where he was employed by the Jekyll Island Club for many years, and where he served until the club discontinued operation shortly after the start of the last war.

Before going to Jekyll, Capt. Briggs served on a number of boats when Brunswick flourished as a port. He was a veteran of the Spanish America War.

Funeral services have not been completed, pending the arrival of a son, Lewis Briggs, from New York. Services will be held here and plans will be announced by the Miller Funeral Home.
