by Delmar Fraysier ---------------------------------------------- Gate City, Va. -- (Spl.) -- The driver of the death vehicle which
struck Robert McGee here last Sept. 1 [9/1/1949], is free on bond
Friday, after a motion for a new trial was entered Thursday by his
attorney. Delmar Lane, former Manville resident, was found guilty of
involuntary manslaughter Thursday in Scott County Circuit Court, and a
sentence of four years in the state penitentiary was recommended by a
jury which visited the scene of the accident before returning a verdict. Commonwealth's Attorney E. Hagan Richmond, in his summary address
offered two statements for the conviction of Lane in connection with the
Manville Road accident in which McGee, a pedestrian, was struck down and
died soon afterwards from his injuries. Lane's case was given to the jury after 2 p.m., and the 12 men
deliberated 30 minutes before returning a verdict. McGee, a 70-year-old farmer, was walking along the road carrying a
sack of feed when the car hit him.
He died in Holston Valley Community Hospital shortly after
admittance. Kingsport News, Saturday, January 21, 1950 Submitted

Earl was born, and grew up, in Scott County, Va. He was the son of the late Charles and Elizabeth Culbertson Meade. He moved to Kingsport after meeting and marrying the love of his life, Emma Lou Meade. Earl and Emma Lou were married for 61 years and had two children, Evan Meade who is a lawyer in Johnson City, Tenn. and Cheryl Meade Oliver who resides in Knoxville, Tenn. Earl was a member of the First Baptist Church in Kingsport, the Gate City, Virginia Catlett Masonic Lodge, No. 35, F&AM, the Jericho Shriners and the Moose Lodge.

Earl lived a full life with a loving family, adoring relatives and many friends. He had the ability to give of himself to others, to enjoy spending time with his extended family including cousins, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and deeply loved his wife and children, all of which weave the fabric of a life well lived.
