In light of recent events (seven found dead in a mobile home and two more in critical condition on 29 August 2009) I wanted to point out that this is not the first time that such a horrible "massacre" has happened in Brunswick's history. On Saturday 6 March 1915 in the middle of downtown Brunswick, Monroe Phillips decided he had had enough. Pressure was mounting from business deals gone wrong and what he deemed as an attack on his character by people wishing to see him fail. Monroe grabbed his shot gun and decided to see the man who pushed him over the edge. Phillips started with the man who was immediately attacking him, Col. Dunwody, and ran into his office and just randomly shot at those inside the office. He then decided to kill his own lawyer, Albert Fendig, who as luck would have it, was out of office that day. These actions, unfortunately, did not appease the wrath of Phillips so he walked out onto the streets of downtown Brunswick and just started shooting at everyone in his path. The result, 8 dead including Phillips, many more wounded physically and mentally. Families destroyed and the peace of Brunswick destroyed as well. The horrible deaths that occurred sometime late Friday 28 August 2009 in north Glynn County was not the first time that such a heinous crime was committed. The motives may have been different but the end results were the same.
