END CAME EARLY CHRISTMAS
MORNING AFTER AN ILLNESS
. OF SEVERAL WEEKS.
In the passing of Dr. Walter B.
Cheatham at 8 o'clock Christmas
morning Dawson and this section lost
one of their best-known and most
highly esteemed citizens. Death was
due to the after effects of an at
tack of influenza about' five weeks
ago from which he never recovered.
Several days life hung as if by a
thread, and the end was not unexpect
ed when it came,

a prominent and influéntial citizen of
this section. He had an extensive ac
quaintance throughout the state, and

the family he moved to Dawson in

little more than a settlement, was in
corporated, and with the exception of
two years at the Louisville Medical
College, where he graduated in 1877,
he spent his life here. For 30 years he
practiced his profession in Dawson,
and during that time served twice as
mayor. Later he was elected ordinary
of Terrell county, which office he held
11 years and resigned to become post
master. This position he held 10 years,
and retired last February. By reason of
his age he was disqualified for re
appointment, For many years he was
a member of the Methodist church,
and was a Mason and a member of
the Commandery branch of that order.

pastor, Rev. W, L. Wright, and Rev.

odist church Saturday afternoon at 3
o’clock, and interment was in Cedar
