Mr. S.B. Baldwin, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. S.A. Baldwin, of Carsonville, died at the residence of his Uncle, Mr. John Baldwin, in Talbot County on Sunday about noon on the 31 of Aug.  He had been sick some time with typhoid fever and his recovery was thought to be permanent, when he suddenly relapsed and passed rapidly away.  He was in the 19th year of his age and a bright, useful and industrious young man.  He was all that a son could be to make his
parents feel happy; but “death loves a shining mark.”  His remains were interred in the cemetery in Talbotton on Monday the 1st inst.  The bereaved parents, relatives and friends have our deepest sympathy in this sad affliction.

There was another sad death near here early last Monday morning.  Miss Sallie Cummings, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Cummings, died of typhoid fever.  She was confined to her bed for nearly three weeks but bore her afflictions with great patience and seemed perfectly resigned to the will of the Lord.  Sallie was a Christian girl.  She was only fourteen years old, but she loved Jesus and her dying words were, “cling to Jesus.”  We offer our sincere sympathy to the family.  She was the favorite of the children and it seemed hard for the family to give her up.

A sudden shock to all was the death of Mrs. Eliza Hiley.  On last Tuesday morning she was found dead in her bed, supposed to have died of congestion.  Her circle of friends is a large one and all mourn her death; but we are glad to say that she was a Christian lady, and we believe she is now happy in a “Heavenly home”.  She was always at the bedside of the sick if she was able.  She was a Christian worker for God, an affectionate mother, faithful sister and a loving friend.  She was loved by all who knew her.  She leaves one child, three loving sisters and other relatives to mourn her death.  Mrs. Lucy Carnes (her sister who was living with her) said she was not sick at all Monday, but was unusually well for her, as she was in feeble health for several months and retired Monday night apparently well, only feeling a little bad.  O! what a blessed thought it is to go to sleep on earth and wake up in heaven.  Her remains were interred in Fort Valley at Oaklawn cemetery Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, a.m.  We offer our sympathy to the bereaved family.

The many friends of Mr. John A. McCrary will regret to learn of his death which sad event took place at his residence in Butler about 9 o’clock on Friday morning last.  He had been confined to his room with dropsy for several weeks, but despite every effort that could be made he gradually sank lower and lower until death relieved him of the burdens that he bore.  He was in the 59th year of his age and had lived a quiet and peaceable life.  He leaves a devoted companion, two children besides many friends and relatives to mourn their loss.

A big thanks goes out to Carla Miles for submitting this information!
