i
Mr. June Nesbit, who was so
cruelly beaten at his home in
Cloverdale last October, died
December 2 in a Chattanooga
hospital. Mr. Nesbit .had been in
the hospital ever since the at¬
tack on him and appeared to
be holding his own until pneu¬
monia set in, which weakened
his condition and took his life.
The Georgia Bureau of Inves¬
tigation and police of three
s.ates are still working to ap¬
prehend these brutal ruffians.
The Nesbits are an old Dade
County family. Mr. June’s
father, Colonel James Cooper
Nesbit, organized Co. H, 21st
Georgia Regiment at Rising
Fawn during the War Between
the Sta.es. His brother, George,
who is a patient at the Georgia
State Hospital, is the last sur¬
viving member of this family.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday from the Rising Fawn
Methodist Church with Rev.
Paul Howell officiating. Active
pallbearers were Grady Haw¬
kins, Montford Newman, Py-
ram Lambert, Richard Fricks,
Charlie Williams and G. W.
