DR. FRANK NOLAN
DIES IN MEXICO.
News Reached McDonough Tues
day of McDonough Boy’s Death
At Tampico On 6th Instant.
Miss Annie Nolan and Mrs. H.
L. Dunn on Tuesday afternoon re
ceived the following telegram
from Mr. Jack Nolan at E itonton.
“Frank died Friday, the Sixth, at
Tampico, Mexico, caused by heart
failure.”
All the information to be obtain
ed is in the telegram.
Dr. Nolan went to Mexico some
five years or more ago, before the
present disturbances had begun
and began there the practice of
his profession. During the timt
of peace his father and friends
had received favorable news of
his progress there, and he was
succeeding in life and accumulat
ing some property.
When the war came on, how
ever, news from him ceased to
come so often and the news of his
death was the first his father had
received since August of last year.
Frank, as everybody here re
members him, was born and rear
ed in McDonough, being a son of
Mr. J. Q. Nolan, now of Eatonton.
Everybody who knew him was
his friend, for his was the sunny
cheering personality whic ! . made
him a friend to all. Pos«esing the'
old fashioned honesty of heart, he
had also a high order of ahilty.
Had not death cut short his career,
he would no doubt have made his
inarkjn the practice of medicine.
We kne v and valued him
for the true v» caJ til of personality i
which 1 he possessed. When we
think of his song and his guitar, we
j would think of his merrier moods
as a part of that other Mexico, not
the turbulent and torn territory
of today, but the Mexico of suh
shine and song T the Mexico of his
*V .« ~' t '• •
tory and romance. ; - v ‘
And now his restless spirit is at
last at rest In that' tempest dons,
country where he cast his unhap
py lot. - •_ '7 t - r ■

age of sixty-six years, he was an
inspiration to the younger men,
for lie was of the old order and

the book ot the past. His kind
