Death of Col. Robert S. Burch.
The Herald and Advertiser re
grets to chronicle the death of Col.
Robt. 8. Burcb, one of Newnan’s old
est and most prominent citizens,
Which occurred suddenly on Saturday
afternoon last at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. John E. Robinpon, in
tbe 86th year of his age. Although en
feebled by age, and confined at home
most of the time by the infirmities in
cident to advancing years, his gen
eral health appeared to be good, and
his death was wholly unexpected. He
was welt-known throughout the coutt -
y, and the news of his death was
heard with deep regret—especially by
the older residents of the community
with whom he had been intimately
associated in earlier days.
Deceased was born in Hancock
county, Ga., Aug. 22, 1814, and was a
veteran of the Indian war. In 1837
he was married to Miss Martha Reid,
and the union proved one of unbro
ken felicity until they were separated
by her death, which occurred in 1894.
He was a lawyer by profession, and a
successful man of affairs, both in the
business and political world. He stud
ied law under Alexander H. Stephens,
and was afterwards associated with
the great commoner iu the practice at
Orawfordvillo, Ga. He was admitted
to practice before the Supreme
In all these positions he was distin
guished for fiiaability, honesty and in
tegrity, and enjoyed the confidence of
the people to an unlimited degree.
He leaves four children—Mr. Jas,
R. Burch of Tbomasvtlle, and Mrs. R.
H. Hardaway, Mrs. J. A. Hunter, and
Mrs. J. E. Robinson of this city—and
