I found this a personal website: ...Dr. Charles Edward Hilburn, a native of Dublin, Georgia He was the son of H.J. Hilburn of Dublin. He graduated from the Needles Institute of Optometry of New York and moved to Macon in 1906 to begin the practice of optometry. He later became associated with Dr. J.H. Spratling in the wholesale business of selling supplies to optometrists. Dr. Hilburn was a member of the Georgia Optometry Association, Rotary club, Kiwanis club, and was a Shriner and a Mason. He died of an acute attack of appendicitis on January 23, 1934 and was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Macon. The H. J. Hilburn should have been A.J.
