Mr. Sain T. Tante Succumbed to
Grim Destroyer After Injuries Re
ceived In Bathing Monday.
“In the midst of life we arein death,”
wss never more clearly demonstrated
in the history of Milledgeville than in
the death of Mr. Sam T. Tante, which,
occurred here at an early hour Wednes
day morning. The passing away of this
lire was one of the saddest it is possible
to picture. Monday morning he was
the picture of health, the perfect
specimen of young manhood and unless
some divine premonition came to him he
could not have dreamed of the impend
ing fate which hung over,,him.
With a crowd of friends, including
one of his brothers, he went in bathing
in Oconee river Monday afternoon and
in making a dive he struck the bottom
with such force as to stun him and he
had to be taken out of the water. It
was found that his spine had been in
jured and to add to the difficulties
attending his accident pneumonia de
veloped rapidly and in less than forty
eight hours he was in the last sleep.
Leaving a heart broken mother, three
sisters, two brothers and a young wife,
his death has caused profound sorrow
to the community and the sympathy of
the city goes out to them. lie was the
oldest son of Mrs. Emmie Jackson,
pronrietess of The Baldwin, and he was
known here as a young man of progres
sive spirit, being identified with the
electric company as one of its most
valued men.
The splendid floral trioutes were
numerous and beautiful, attesting in
a silent but demonstrative manner the
measure of worth and esteem in which
the sleeper was held while in life. Of
course, they were mute symbols, too,
of consideration,0 sympathy and friend
ship for the bereaved members of the
family.
The funeral servic.i s were held at The
Baldwin Thursday morning, Rev. Ford
McRee officiating. The interment was
at Grovetown, the f jrmer home of his
mother. The following gentlemen ac-
tel as pall bearers: Charlie Conn,
C larlie Brown, Joe Wjotten, Chauncey
Adams, Tom Caraker and Conn Carr.
