9-3-1926 MACEDONIA
A hurried trip by automobile to a Memphis hospital by the father, conveying his wounded son, Dorris Aldridge, aged 12, who had been accidentally wounded by the latter's cousin, failed to save the youth's life, and he died last Friday night, Sep.3,1926. The funeral was held with burial in Macedonia cemetery. The boy was the son of Mr.and Mrs.Tom J.Aldridge, and lived 16 miles north of here, near Pine Tree. While hunting on last Friday he stepped into the line of fire of his cousin, Billy Adams, aged 14, just as the latter pulled the trigger on a shot gun. The charge struck the younger boy in the back. The boy is survived by his parents, three sisters and a small brother. W.H.Aldridge, of this city, is the grand uncle.
