Col. B. W. Frobel, Vice President
and Gen’l Manager ol the Coving
ton and Macon rail road died on
Thursday last July 12th at his
room m tho Pavilion hotel, after an
illness ol several weeks, of Typhoid
Dysontcry. Ho had tho attention
of our best local medical skill besides
being visited by Dr. Woodard of
Atlanta, his family physician and
Dr. Me Hatton of Macon. His de
voted wife and daughters were con
stantly at his bedside ministering
to his every want. Besides, kind
and loving friends stood ready to do
nil in their power to stay tho hand
of death and to render the last
hours of tho victim free from pam
and suffering.
Col. Frobel was born in Fairfax
county Va., in 1828. In 1844 at tho
age oi sixteen ho entered tho II. S.
navy as midshipman, and was sent
on a special messenger and bearer
of important dispatches to tho com
mander of tho U. S. Army in Mexi
co. Alter a sorvice of three years
he resigned tho ollioo of Lieutenant,
to which ho had boon promoted, and
entered tho university of Virginia
After graduating from this institu
tion ho engaged in railroad engineer
ing and was employed lor a time on
tho survey of tho Northern Pacific
and other important national works
Again entering tho navy ho served
with distinction in the Uruguay
and Paraguay expedition to South
America. At tho call of the South
and liis native state ho again resign
ed from tho U. S. Navy and east his
fortunes with his own people.
Col. Frobel was considered a su
perior civil and military engineer
and was entrusted with many im
portant defences during the war,
notably there at Savannah. Besides
lie hold many offices ot honor and
rank. Being at the close of tho
war chief of Artillery for Gen. Long
Strocts corps.
After the war ho was appointed
engineer and Suporintondant of
Public Works by the Georgia Legis
lature. While holding this position
lie had charge of the remodeling of
the old capital and tho grounds at
Millcdgcvillo. At this time he
married Miss Mamie Compton, the

Jasper counties honored citizens,
Mr. P. M, Compton.
Ho was afterwards appointed en
gineer in the U. S. Service to look
after internal improvements in the
south. Ho surveyed the route lor
a canal from the Tennessee river to
the Atlantic to Savannah. Besides
this ho was foremost in many en
gineering enterprises which had for
their objoct the advancement ot the
material resources of the south and
ofGoorgia. liis last project was
tho building of the Covington and
Macon rail road, which will
remain an imperishable monument
to his skill and ability, and it is par
ticularly sad that ho should not bo
pormittod to see tho complete fulfill
ment of this, his pot scheme and
liavo his heart gladdened by the
commendations and congratulations
of liis many friends.
In this like Moses he was permit
ted to only view the Promised
Land, Not to occupy it.
In all the relations of life,
Frobel bore the reputation of a lug..
toned, honorable Christian gentle
man. A- such his memory w ill he
j cherished by our whole people.
