It is indeed with sadness that
we note the death of Mr. Henry
Jackson, the 18-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Jackson,
which occurred at their home near
Jenkinsburg last Friday night.
His death was caused from an un
fortunate accident which befell
him Friday afternoon by the acci
dental discharge of a shotgun,
which caused his death in a few
hours. It was an accident that is
deeply deplored by all, and as he
w r as the only son in tiie family it
makes his death a sad one indeed,
His remains were laid to rest at
Jenkinsburg Sunday morning, in
the presence of a large concourse
of friends and relatives, after an
appropriate funeral service con
ducted by Rev. Wilson, Profs.
Claude Gray and W. T. Smalley.
It is with sadness that we note
the death of Mr. J. S. Duke, which
occurred at his home near Betha
ny last Sunday. His death was
caused by an unfortunate accident
which befell him last Friday morn
ing. He had started to go into
the second story of a small barn
building where he usually kept his
wheat, etc., and m doing so he
had to climb a ladder, and just as
lie reached the door it is supposed
he accidentally lost his balance
and fell to the ground below, sus
taining such injuries that he was
rendered unconscious and remain
ed in that condition until his death
Sunday. His wife heard him fall
and rushed to his assistance as
quickly as possible and summoned
help to gel him in the house, and
everything possible was done for
him, but he was so seriously in
jured that he died without ever
regaining consciousness. He was
about 67 years of age and is sur
vived by Lio companion and four
daughters, Mrs. J. P. Blissitt, Mrs.
P. C. Shaw, Mrs. B. S. Elliott and
Mrs. E. O. Hooten, and one son,
Mr. Arthur Duke, of Atlanta. He
was the father-in-law of Editor B.
S. Elliott, of The Weekly. He
leaves a large tamiiy of relatives
to mourn his death. His remains
were laid to rest at Bethany Mon
day afternoon with Masonic hon
ors, after a most impressive and
appropriate funeral service con
ducted by Rev. J. M. Gilmore, of
Monticello.
