Mr. Gutnm had been in feeble health for a loug time 0,1 account of liis ex treme old age, being a few months over ubiety-nine years old. For many weeks those who loved and cared l'or l,j m were solicitous about his condition as they realized that bis vitality and weakened strength ware being sapped by disease. The funerel services were held at the residence this afternoon at three o’clock, Kev. Elam F. Dempsey officiating. Daring the bonr of the services tlia -tores were closed and business was sus pended. Mr. Gnmm was born in East Baldwin Feb. 14th, 1S12, and spent his long life here. He was at one time Tax Receiver and Collector. He served in the Greek Indian war, and received a pension for a long number of years. He saw many changes wrought in the history of his oonntrv, and saw it grow from a small to the most powerful nation in the world. He issurvived by three children, Messrs. George and Herman and Miss ('ora Gunim, and several grand chil dren, aud great grand children. The sympathy of our entire people go out to the bereaved ones. The people of Milledgeville and Bald win County tiaye felt a deep interest in Mr. Gumm, as,his long life had been -pent here, and lie knew the history of the city and comity. His father was a Virginian, and he inherited the qualities of character of the forefathers Of this country. The greater part of his life was spent on the farm, and thus he de veloped healthy constitution and strong mind, both of which stood him well in the long years through which lie lived. He was a member of the Meth odist church, and as his strength grew weaker his faith in the life beyond the giave grew stronger. hums’ Pharmarcy is now dispensing the purest soda water and best freezes.
