Death notices

A. C. Bickers

A deep shadow of gloom has been thrown over our town this week caused by the death of one of our prominent citizens:  Mr. A. T. Bickers.  His death was a greater shock to our citizens than it would have been had he been confined to his bed or several days; but no one apprehended the fatal results many hours before it occurred, as he only took to his bed Friday and died Tuesday night with Pneumonia.  So short was his term of suffering, his features did not look the least ematiated after dissolution.  It looked more like burying a liver being as we looked upon his familiar from lying cold in death.  Although 67 winters had passed over him, he retained almost the full vigor of manhood.  He had just entered into a prosperous and paying business at  this place, and no citizen in the new town had more faith in the future of the place.  He was a member of the Missionary Church, and his membership with Bethel church in Jasper County.  The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of all our citizens in this sad bereavement.  We would admonish the bereaved ones to so live as to meet him.

Mrs. John Virgin

It is with a deep feeling of sorrow that we announce the death of a most esteemable Lady; Mrs. John Virgin of Jasper County and daughter of our friend, I. W. Nolen of this county; which occurred at Dublin in this county yesterday.  We cannot find words to express our feelings of propound sorrow.  We know how to sympathize with the bereaved family, but cant find words to express it. The young wife and mother, in the full vigor of life cut down; leaving three little orphans to the care of the bereaved husband makes a would upon his heart that no words of sympathy can heal

May he who doeth all things well console the bereaved family.  We can do no mere than mingle our tears with those of her many friends.  All that knew her loved her.
