A.M. Surratt Suffers Stroke While Driving, March 31, 1925

Health Department Man Stricken on Highway. . . A.M. Surratt Found Near Car in Unconscious Condition—Trouble to Identity

Thomasville, March 30—A.M. Surratt, who is connected with the State health department, and with his family resides in the south side of Thomasville, while driving his car this morning alone on the national highway in the direction of Salisbury, was paralyzed on the left side of his body, including the leg and arm on that side. He had stopped the car and when found by strangers passing that was laying on the ground near the car in an unconscious state. Those who first found Mr. Surratt were unable to identify him, but Kerney Surratt, a kinsman, was passing along the highway and identified the man. He ordered the ambulance from Lexington and quickly had the ill man moved to his home here. His condition is regarded very serious tonight. Mr. Surratt is well known in his line of work and is considered an efficient employe of the department in many parts of the state.
