CITIZENS OF WINDER
BOWED IN SORROW
Mr. J. C. Pentecost, Popular Young
Business Man. Dies at His
Home on Wright Street at
Early Hour Today.
All Winder is* in sadness today.
Columbus Pentecost is dead.
His spirit took its Might at 4
o’clock Thursday morning and the
remains will he laid to rest at the
Pentecost cemetery, about five
miles from Winder, in Jackson
county, Friday morning at 10
o’clock.
Mr. Pentecost was in the bloom
of young manhood and was the
picture of health until he returned
from south Georgia two weeks ago
to attend to some business matters
and was stricken desperately’ ill
with fever. Two of Winder’s phy
sicians and a professional nurse
were called to his bedside and
everything known to medical skill
was done to ward off the grim
reaper, but all to no'avail.
Mr. Pentecost was the oldest son
of Mr. R. N. Pentecost, of Chand
ler’s district, his mother having
died when he was a baby. When
he had reached his majority he en-j
tered business in Winder, organiz
ing a company and operating the I
Brick Warehouse, dealers in cotton,
and also became interested in varied!
interests of the town. He had won |
the respect and admiration of all
with whom he came in contact by
his fair dealing and energetic en-i
terprise. In company with other!
Winder citizens lie purchased a
large* farm in south Georgia and
was selected to superintend the4ill
ing of the growing crop. He lied
come to Winder to be in conference
with his associates in this business
enterprise when taken ill.
AdxHit a year ago Mr. Pentecost
was united in marriage to Miss
Blanche Haslett, of Lawreneeville.
Besides his young wife be leave his
father, five half-brothers, a half
sister and a host of friends and rel
atives in Winder and adjoining
counties to mourn for him-
Further words fail us. We can
only say:
Columbus Pentecost is dead!
