ANSWER'S DEATH'S CALL.
One of McDonough's Finest
Young Men Was Called
Away Last Week.
Mr. J. C. Alexander breathed
his last at his home in McDon
ough at noon on Thursday of last
week. He had been ill with
typhoid fever about two weeks
and at first was carried to Dr.
Hightower’s Sanitarium at Stock
bridge. He remained there but
a few days, however, and was
brought back home, where he
gradually grew worse.
Claude, for most of us so called
him, was just 35 years of age and
was a young man of excellent
character and pleasing personality
and his life exhibited the highest
type of Christian manhood.
These fine traits and his loyalty
to his friends made for him count
less friends throughout the coun
ty, and all will genuinely miss him
and mourn him.
The funeral was conducted by
the Rev. W. W. Arnold at the Mc-
Donough Baptist church on Fri
day afternoon at 2 o’clock. The
interment was at the McDonough
cemetery. Mk Alexander was a
Mason and was buried with
Masonic rites by the local lodge.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Laura Alexander: two sisters;
Mrs. W. C. Hamilton, Jr., and
Miss Laura Alexander: and two
brothers; Mr. George Alexander
and Mr. Oscar Alexander.
