We are called upon to note the absence and payja deserved trib¬ ute of love to the memory of one who but a few days ago was in life, Dr. Worsham. Tie who by his quiet and gentle Christian de¬ partment endeared himself to the heart of all save two, has been transformed by the Bishop of souls to a higher and holier spere of action. He was born in six miles of Knoxville, Crawford county, was reared by Christian parents. About his eighteenth year, 1 think it was, he read den¬ tistry under Dr. Fogg, of Barnes ville, and shortly afterwards he graduated and began his practice in Cuthbert. A short while after warda moved to Americus where he met.his bride. He was happi¬ ly married to Miss Monroe 8kaw, by thiSjUiiion three children were born, a boy who died some time ago, leaving two little angel girls and a devoted wife to grieve with bis host of relatives and friends $t his untimely departure. The writer has known the Dr. all his life and can say I never knew a more gentle kind hearted gentle¬ man. Then farewell dearest husband, father, brother and friend until we meet you on the shining shore of immortality. Yes, we trust in that sweet bye and bye, we shall meet on that beautiful shore.
