HON. H. S. WALL,
CHAIRMAN COUNTY
COMMISSIONER, DIES
SUCCUMBS TO HEART ATTACH
MAUK HOME FOLLOWING MA
JOR OPERATION SOME WEEKS
AGO AT AN ATLANTA HOS
PITAL.
Like a clap of thunder from a
clear sky came the announcement of
the death early Sunday morning last
of Hon. Henry Solomon Wall, which
sad event occurred at his home at
Mauk where it was thought his
strength was returning rapidly fol
lowing his recent return from an At
lanta hospital where a month ago he
underwent a major operation. At an
early hour Saturday night Mr. Wall
suffered a heart attack. Physicians
were summoned. They announced his
condition as critical and in spite of
all they were able to do for him Mr.
Wall peacefully passed from life un
to death in the space of only a few
hours.
Scarcely a man in Taylor county
was better known or more uni
versally beloved than Uncle Sol Wall
as he was affectionately called.
Mr. Wall, who was the son of the
late Hon. William and Mrs, Ellen
Tidwell Wail, was born and reared in
P>utler, the date of his birth being
given as May 29, 1859. With his par
ents he moved to Marion county
when he was quite a your.g man. He
became one of Marion’s outstanding
citizens and was honored with the
office of Tax Collector of that coun
ty during several terms. He re
turned to the county of his nativity,
locating at Mauk, about 25 years
ago, since which time he has been
active in the agricultural, educa
tional and political interest of the
county. At the time of his death and
for several years previous thereto
Mr. Wall was chairman of the Board
of County Commissioners of which
there are two other members besides
himself. To Mr. Wall is largely due
the credit for the erection of the new
court house at Butler now under
construction and nearing completion.
He was keenly interested in every
detail of its construction, and at his
own expense of time and effort bn
superintended the work of construc
tion until his health failed him "Hnd
he wias admitted 1 to the hospital in
Atlanta for a minor operation fol
lowed by one of a more serious na
ture, but from which he was recov
ering rapidly it was believed being
permitted to return to his home at
Mauk about two weeks ago, and was
looki. g forward 1 with most pleasant
anticipation to being able to preside
at ..he regular monthly session of
the Commissioners Tuesday of this
week same to be held in the first
room of the new court house to be
completed. Mr. Wall’s was the sec
ond death to occur among the per
sonnel of the board since the erec
tion of the new court house was 'be
gun last fall, the other member De-
ing Mr. E. C. Perkins, Jr., died
February 21st last.
Surviving Mr. Wall are his win-
ow, Mrs. Ida Fletcher Wall; three
sons, Messrs W. 0., S. E. and C. E.
Wall, seven grand children and 1 two
great-grand children; Mrs. Lula
Wall, of this city, and head of the C.
W. A. office in the county, is a
daughter-in-law of the deceased.
Funeral services, conducted by the
pastor of the deceased, Rev. W. E.
Hightower, at the Mauk Methodist
church Monday afternoon attended
by the largest concourse of sorrow
ing friends ever witnessed in that
portion of the county while a pro
fusion of exquisite floral offerings
attested the great esteem in which
Mr. Wall was held. Edwards Bros.,
of this city, were in charge of fu
neral arrangements.

A large an attentive audience
heard an address given at Crowells
school closing last Friday by Hon. E.
D. Rivers, speaker of the Georgia
House of Representatives. The ad
dress by Mr. Rivers was delivered in
the afternoon, having been preceded
in the morning by a program in
which the school children and sev
eral young ladies of the community
took part. The program by the school
children began at 10:30 and lasted
until the noon hour at which time
lunch was served.
During the morning exercises
Porf. E. H. Joiner of Reynolds, and
County School Superintendent W. T.
Rustin made short talks in which
they stressed the importance of edu
cation and urged the co-operation of
the parents in helping the children to
m a k e necessary adjustments in
school. Mr. Rustin also called atten
tion to the condition of the school
building at Crowell stating that is
lot a modern building and assuring
the people that the prospects are
good for getting a new building be-
for another term of school.
Mr. Rivers in his speech also
stressed the importance of moderniz
ing the school building- saying that a
good school is one of the greatest
assets that a communit can have, be
cause in educating the boys and girls
today, we are preparing the men and
women of tomorrow, and unless we
give them the proper kind of train
ing we cannot expect them to be
come the kind of citizens they should
be.
Introduced by Mr. Mitchell Turn
er, the principal of Crowell school,
as the best friend that the common
schools of Georgia has ever had,
Mr. Rivers reviewed briepy exper
ience as a teacher and staled that he
would be an unworthy citizen if he
were not a friend to the schools of
Georgia and said that the state
should guarantee every boy and girl
a school term of at least seven
months.
He also paid a high tribute to
Representative Parr saying that Mr.
Parr has never, in a single instance,
shirked his duty as representative,
but had stayed on the job while he
was in the legislature and he did not
believe that the people could have
sent a better man than Mr. Parr to
represent them in the legislature.
After complimenting Mr. Parr for
the services he had rendered in the
legislature Mr. Rivers continued his
speech saying in part:
“Our country has always had men
who have worked to make the bur
dens of others easier for them to
bear. We have such a man in our
President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. He
has labored hard to relieve nis peo
ple from suffering and distress. He
has done much to help encourage

DEATH CLAIMS
CLARICE JARRELL;
MOST LOVABLE CHILD
COMMUNITY ENVELOPED IN
SORROW BY THE PASSING OP
A CHILD WHOSE LIFE WAS
BRIGHT WITH PROMISE.
Everyone who knew little Clarice
Jarrell loved her dearly. Her death
which occurred May 2nd at 8 o’clock
a. m., in her sixth year of age,
brought sadness and grief to the
hearts of her family and all of her
many friends. She had been, ill only a
week, which seemed so short a time
to be taken away from her play
mates. Her death came as a shock to
every one making it even harder .to
give up this dear child.
Funeral services were held at An
tioch church Friday morning at 11
o’clock. Those of her class acted as
small flower-bearers paying their sin
cere resipect and homage .to their
small friend. Rev. J. E. Pate offi
ciated, assisted by Rev. W. E. High
tower and Rev. M. T. Gaultney. The
pall-bearers were her two brothers,
Blanford and Calvin Jarrell and her
cousins: Wilson and J. D. Jarrell.
The following rendered a beautiful
service in song: Misses Eula Walker
and Mary Gill, and Messrs J. M.
Cox, G. D. Locke ttnd Eli Gaultney.
She is survived by her parents,
Mr. W. A. Jarrell ar.d Mrs. Evelyn
Smith Jarrell, two sisters, Ethel and
Helen Jarrell and two brothers Blan
ford and Calvin Jarrell all of Bu.ier.
The many beautiful floral offer
ings bespoke the love that everyone
had for this- little girl.
Little Clarice endeared herself to
everyone whom she met .by her
bright, cheerful life. Her little school
mates, as did everyone else, loved
her devotedly. When told of her
passing away .their grief knew no
bounds.
She was lovedi and shall be misced
each day by everyone.
Tribute by Clarice’s Teacher
The community as a iwhole was
saddened and 1 shocked last Thursday
mormng at the passing of Clarice
Jarre’i. She had’ been ill from pneu
monia only one week. Everything
possible was done for her. Clarice
was nearly seven, years old. She wa»
born Oct. 10, 1928 and passed away
May 2, 1936.
We wonder sometimes about death
and try to reason why one so young,
so innocent, so fresh from God must
be called Home so soon. Yet we re-
member His word when, he tells us
that of such is His kingdom. We
don’t question His right to call her.
We know that He does all things
well and for a purpose. We are .con
soled somewhat when we know that
she is' away from a world of sorrow
and sin. She is srweetly resting. She
is there making heaven siweeter. No
sorrow or^ sadness will she ever
know. Her little life was not lived in
vain—-she brought so much sunshine
and joy into our lives and we know
there is a God and that she is with
Him in heaven. The birth of a little
child reveals God unto us, .their help
lessness proves Providence, their in
nocence illustrates Heaven,—their
death implies immortality. So we
know .that she still lives—we can
meet her some day. Dear parents do
not grieve. Our loss is her gain.
She is only waiting there for you.
What a wonderful place Heaven
must be as we all will become as
little children and be likened unto her
and enter into the joys and happi
ness eternal with her.
We loved Clarice; we miss her
every day, oh so much; she was a
child that brought sunshine iuto
one’s life. We are glad that we told
her that we loved her so, for she wa;
always so pleased and responsive at
j an y URIe attention paid her. Among
my most cherished memories are the
j times that she would put her little
| arms around me and tell me that she
loved me. It is to me a great thing
j for a little child so fresh froon God,
I to express’ their love for us.
It is hard for us to realize that
| Clarice is gone from us forever on
j this earth. It was such a short time
ago that she was so well and happy.
I can see her now as she waved at
me and_ told me goodbye one day and
tittle did anyone think that that
vvo'rid be the last goodbye.
How uncertain life is. and surely
it is well said that, “in the midst of
life we are in death.”
Clarice will be missed at home.
She was the idol of her parents. She
will also be missed at school where
she was a favorite with her little
classmates and teachers. We all miss
her. She cannot come back to us—we
would not call her back if we could
for Heaven is a sweeter place with
her there.
One that loved her, —M. T.
