HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA
Hon. Otis Elkins
Dies at Fitzgerald.
The death of Hon. Otis Elkins,
which occurred at his home in
Fitzgerald last Friday night,- after
a short illness, was a shock to his
Henry county friends.
Mr. Elkins was born in Henry
county, near Locust Grove, where
he spent his boyhood, and by his
bright course won the resoect and
admiration of all. Finishing high
school, he entered Mercer Univer
sity, from which he graduated
with high honors. Beginning the
practice of law at Fitzgerald he
soon won distinction in his pro
fession and became a prominent,
useful citizen of that section, rep
resenting his county in the legis
lature several terms, and later
sent to the State Senate from that
district, serving with distinction
and exercising a state-wide influ
ence.
His untimely death is deeply de
plored, and sincere sympathy is
extended his father, Mr. J. S. El
kins, and bereaved family.
Funeral services were largely
attended last Sunday at Locust
Grove, where the remains were
laid to rest.
