US BROWN’S GARAGE,PHONE 64 Barnesville, Georgia BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1922 ; PROMINENT CITIZEN DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNES Mr. Virgil O. Marshburn, long one of the prominent and influential citi zens of Barnesville, died at his home on Thomaston street Monday after noon shortly after 1 o’clock as the result of an attack of eryspelas, from which he had suffered about one week. Until a few days before his death his illness was not generally known and at first it was not regard ed seriously by himself or his fami ly, as Mr. Marshburn complained very little and kept at his work until he was forced to yield to the inroads the disease was making in his sys tem. It was then too late to stay its progress, although everything that skilled physicians could do was used in the effort to save his life. The funeral was held Wednesday at 11 o’clock at the home and the services were conducted by Rev. H. L. Edmondson, the pastor of the First Methodist church of which Mr. Marshburn was a member and of which he was for years a trustee. During the funeral service Gordon Institute and all the stores and busi ness places of the city were closed out of respect to the memory of the deceased. There were many lovely floral offerings sent in by organiza tions and friends of the community and a large audience gathered to pay their last tribute to the esteemed man and citizen. The body was buried in the Green wood cemetery. Mr. Marshburn was 68 years old and for nearly half a century had been a tdtizen of Barnesville, where he had successfully reared a large family. Practically all this time he had conducted a large rdercantile business here, had operated large farms and peach orchards and had other interests. For more than twenty-five years he had been a trustee of Gordon Institute and since its organization had been a director of the Citizens Bank. He had served several years as an alderman of the city and had always taken an active part in the progress and development of the city. He was held in high esteem by all the people and his death is deplored by the citizenship of the city and surrounding com munity. While he had lived out nearly his allotted three score and ten years, he was still active in the various business interests which he had charge of and was several years older than he appeared to be. Mr. Marshburn was one of the pioneer peach growers of Georgia and for a number of years he suc cessfully operated one of the largest orchards in the state, often shipping many cars of fine peaches to the markets of the country in a season. He will be missed greatly in the va rious activities of the city and com munity. Mr. Marshburn is survived by his widow, three sons, Col. Walter O. Marshburn, who was a successful law yer of Atlanta until about two years ago, when he moved to Miami, Fla., to enter the real estate business; Messrs. Robert J. Marshburn and Joseph D. Marshburn, of Miami; five dau{*hters, Mrs. Stroud Jordan, of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Mrs. R. F. Hunt, of Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. J. K. Jemison and Miss Sallie Marshburn of this city, and Miss Louise Marshburn of Miami. The people of the city and com munity extend their depest sympathy to all the members of the family in their sorrow.
