John Medlin, well known citizen of Concord, died this morning in the Concord Hospital from injuries alleged to have been inflicted by a car driven by Hoyle Burrage, and Burrage is under $2,500 bond for his appearance in court here on June 15th to answer to charges in connection with the case.
Mr. Medlin, according to information given to police officers, was struck by Burrage’s car Saturday night about 8 o’clock at the intersection of Corbin and Phenix streets. He was rushed to the Concord Hospital but never fully regained consciousness, and death came this morning about 2 o’clock.
Burrage was placed under bond in the sum of $1,000 Saturday night and the amount was raised to $2,500 yesterday when attending physicians advised officers that the injured man’s condition seemed less hopeful. The bond was arranged without trouble.
Just how the accident occurred is not fully known and it is probable that details will not be given until the Burrage hearing is held on June 15th.
Mr. Medlin was 65 years of age and had been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Sid Smith, for some time. He was crossing the street near his home when the accident occurred.
He is survived by two brothers, A.B. and W.A. Medlin, both of this county; one sister, Mrs. Dock Yow of Union county; and the following children: Mrs. Smith, Mrs. W.L. Baker, Mrs. Ed Clark, Mrs. Ed Miler and Walter Medlin, all of Concord. Funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs. Smith on West Corbin street at 9:30 Tuesday morning and interment will be made in the cemetery at Love’s Grove in Stanly county at 11:30.
Mr. Medlin was well known throughout Cabarrus and Stanly counties and the announcement of his death occasioned much sorrow in his wide circle of relatives and friends.
