In Memory of D S. Fairclotb
On Sept. 21st, 1911, the death angel
visited the home of D. S. Faircloth and
claimed him as its victim.
He was born in Twiggs county and
came to Tattnall county in his early
manhood where he lived to attain the
age of fifty-one. He was married to
Miss Laura Partin, daughter of John
Partin, twenty-eight years ago. He
leaves a wife and eleven children to
mourn their loss.
Mr. Faircloth will not only be missed
by his family but by his many friends.
From the time he came to our county
until his death he made friends on all
sides and was at all times ready to help
his fellow-men. Mr. Faircloth looked
ahead tor the future of his family, and
in the financial world he made a suc
cess. He had reached the point in life
where life was worth living. We must
remember that the death angel comes
in the sweetest hour of life. We all
mourn our loss in this world, but hope
to meet him in the world beyond.
