Army Maj. Gen. Douglas L. Carver, retired chief of chaplains
People will gather at noon Monday at the Brighton Monument to honor fallen Americans and the 12 members of the Brighton family — employees and staff of Brighton Mills and Model School — who died in World War II.
An honor guard will present the colors at the ceremony. Boy and Girl Scouts will lay a wreath at the monument, and doves will be released.
Former County Commissioner Jack Dickey will introduce the speaker, retired Army Maj. Gen. Douglas L. Carver, who also served as chief of chaplains.
“A lot of people don’t understand the meaning of it,” Dickey said of Memorial Day. “It’s to remember those people who died, so we could have our freedom.”
The honor guard will give a three-volley gun salute and a trumpeter
will perform “Taps.” Bagpipes will then sound “Amazing Grace.”
The annual ceremony stems from Julian K. Morrison, the first president and major stockholder of Southern Brighton Mills. He called his employees and staff the Brighton family, of which 408 served during World War II. Twelve died, leading Morrison to erect the Brighton Family Memorial Monument.
The monument sits just off Burlington Road, near its intersection with Minshew Road.
“Every good American should remember why we’re here,” Dickey said of Memorial Day observances.
Memorial Day services are scheduled across the area this Monday. The Cedartown Veterans Memorial Park Committee’s annual program will start at 11 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Park, which is located on East Avenue at Greenwood Drive.
Lt. Col. John Frasier will speak at the ceremony.
An American Legion honor guard will deliver a 21-gun salute. Wreaths will be presented in memory of fallen service members.
Pavers can be bought for $150. The name, rank and service dates of a former or current member of the U.S. military can then be engraved on them before they’re placed.
The American Legion Post 52 is hosting a Memorial Day barbecue and Brunswick stew sale from noon to 4 p.m. Monday at 1205 Calhoun Ave. Plates will cost $7, and they will include pork, baked beans, coleslaw, bread and a pickle. Drinks cost an additional dollar.
Brunswick stew will cost $2.50 for a cup, $4 for a pint, $7 for a quart and $28 for a gallon.
Proceeds will go to veterans and families in need.

Serial burglar Entwisle wanted again

Joe Don Entwisle
Rome police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Joe Don Entwisle, 52, in connection with the burglary of a home in West Rome on April 23.
Police said he got away with $40,000 in watches, $20,000 in jewelry, a laptop and a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun.
In June of 2002, Entwisle kicked out the glass in the back of a Rome police car and escaped while on his way to jail on burglary and theft charges, according to reports.
He managed to hide from police under mud and leaves and later slipped through his handcuffs. He was recaptured the next day.
David Stewart, who was a Floyd County police investigator at the time, told the Rome News-Tribune that he knew Entwisle from Entwisle’s service in the Marines and called him “the closest thing to Rambo you can get.”
Entwisle was released from prison on Sept. 2, 2011, after serving nine years on a variety of charges — including five counts of receiving stolen goods, two counts of theft by receiving stolen property, two counts of criminal interference with government property, three counts of obstruction and one count of escape, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections website.
Since his release from prison, he was arrested once, in March of this year, for a parole violation, according to Floyd County Jail records.
The parole hold was released, and Entwisle got out of jail on April 9, according to jail officials. His address on those records is 107 Lindsey Drive.
Entwisle has criminal history dating back more than 17 years.
He was convicted of first-degree forgery in 1998 and served a little more than a year in prison, according to the DOC.
In 1996, he served a year and a month in prison after a September 1996 conviction for theft by taking, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, theft by receiving stolen property, theft by deception, theft by taking and two counts of first-degree forgery, according to the DOC.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Rome detective Pete Sailors at 706-238-5118.
