Mr. J. N. Woodruff«.
• Dies Monday Night.
At his home in McDonough, at
10:30 o’clock last Monday night,
Mr. J. N. Woodruff breathed his
last.
As had been perviously announc
ed, he suffered an attack of pneu
monia about two weeks ago, the
serious nature of which caused
grave apprehensions of family and
friends from 4 ' the beginning, and
when the end came it carried a
pall of sadness to his large circle
of friends.
Mr. Woodruff was a remarka
ble man in many respects. His
last spell of sickness was his first,
having never been confined in
bed from illness a day in his life.
He was always cheerful, genial,
liberal, ever ready to accommodae,
and possibly no man ever extend
ed more and freer favors than dtd
“Uncle Pomp” Woodruff. Conse
quently’he was a general favorite
and one of the
missed and mourned by a com
munity in his departure.
Mr. Woodruff came from Cov
ington to McDonough twenty five
or thirty years ago, making scores
of friends here from the begin
ning. He is survived by his
widow, four sons, Messrs. Jim,
Tom, Otis and Idus Woodruff, and
two daughters, Mrs. Comer Wood
ward of Chicago, and Mrs. Verna
Wright of Jackson, all of whom
were present at his bedside.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. H. S Smith from the
Methodist church at 11 o’clock
Wednesday morning, with inter
ment in McDonough cemetery.
Horace Sims On
His Way to France
Mr. Doluh Sims has received a
letter from bis son, Horace, who
went to Detroit two years ago,
stating that he has voluteered
his services to the government
with a bunch of Ford repair men,
and is now in Washington City,
from whence he will land in
France within 30 days. In com
mendation of his patriotism, Hor
ace’s McDonough friends extend
all good wishes in his course, with
the hope for his safe return. His
service- wiii be in the army auto
repairing department.
Mr. Jerome Cook Dies.
The Weekly goes to press,
we regret to make the paiutui an
nouncement of the death of Mr.
Jerome Cook, which occurred at
the home of his brother-in-law,
Dr. B. E. Horton, about 3 o’clock
Wednesday night. His protract
illness was a source of much anx
iety to family and friends, who
had hoped for 11 coverv, and were
deeply saddened at the end.
Interment wit be in College
Park at 2 o’clock Friday after
noon.
