FATHER AND SON IN BLOODY DUEL. Williard Brewer, Near Milledgeville, Killed by Father. Father Was Also Wounded. Dan Brewer and His Son Had Quarrel Over Family Matters, Which Resulted in a Tragic Encounter- Son Was Shot From Horseback.
Milledgeville, Ga., May 16 (Special) Williard Brewer, a young man about 21, was shot and killed this morning about six miles below this city, in Baldwin county, by his father, Dan Brewer, a man of about 68. The shooting was the result of a quarrel between father and son over some family matters.
The son, it seems, protested against his father's treatment of the family and used some harsh language to his father last night. The quarrel was renewed this morning, the father, it is said, waiting for his son in a lane near the house, armed with a double-barreled shotgun. Young Brewer came that way going to the field to plow, riding his horse. The father renewed the quarrel, threatening the young man, it is alleged, for the language he had used to him the night before, finally leveling his gun and firing striking young Brewer from his waist to chin.
About the same time the young man commenced firing with his pistol as he fell, shooting four times, one shot making a flesh wound in his father's arm which was not serious enough to prevent his being lodged in jail. The young man did not speak after the shot, and died in a few moments after falling from his horse. The father was prevented from again firing by the only eye-witness, his son-in-law. The verdict of the coroner's jury was murder.
Note: Williard Brewer is buried in Matilda Chapel Cemetery in Stevens Pottery. Dan Brewer, received 5 years for manslaughter and was released Dec. 14, 1912.
Dan Brewer, a native of Wilkinson County, was in the 3rd Georgia Infantry. His pension is filed in Baldwin County. He died in Dublin, at his daughter's Cora Carmanni in 1920 and is buried at New Bethel Baptist Church.
