Polk County GaArchives Obituaries.....Young, James March 28 1918 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: W. Stephens Wend@bellsouth.net July 12, 2004, 8:16 pm Cedartown Standard, Thursday, April 4, 1918 On the afternoon of the 28th of March the sweet spirit of Uncle Jim Young winged its way to the God who gave it. He was one of the oldest citizens of Polk County, representing the last of the old Southern type. His life was filled with kindly deeds rather than many words, he acted rather than spoke. Would you know the secret of this good man’s eminently useful life? It was that he refrained his tongue from evil, and his lips that they spoke no guile. The things that are honorable true, just, pure, lovely and of good report, where the things upon which he thought. While he knew the past and loved to go back there in memory, he maintained a lively interest in the events of today. He took keen interest in political and war news. He "wore the white flower of a stainless life and reverenced his conscience as his King." All Cedartown, while it mourns his passing, yet holds proudly high his gracious memory. To his family he was a tower of strength and a beacon of light whose mellowed beams will continue to beckon them on to the pearly portals where this and every sorrow will be healed by the hand that shall bestow "Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garments of paradise for the spirit of heaviness. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, April 11, 1918) Mr. and Mrs. W. B Houseal of Birmingham; Miss Elizabeth Young, who is teaching in the State Normal School at Athens; Miss Augusta Young, who is teaching at Watkinsville; Miss Sara Young, who is teaching at College Park; and Miss Eleanor Houseal, who is attending school at Montevallo, Ala, were called home last week by the death of their grandfather, Mr. Jas. Young of Youngs. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, April 4, 1918) Mr. E. D. Turner was called home from Oklahoma last Thursday by the death of her grandfather, Mr. James Young. (Cedartown Standard, April 4, 1918) At 3 o’clock last Thursday after the funeral of Mr. Jas. Young was held at his home at Youngs, and his remains were laid to rest in the family burial ground on his plantation. The funeral was conducted by D. C. K. Henderson and was one of the largest ever held in this vicinity, people coming to attend it from all sections of the county, for Mr. Young was one of Polk’s oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. Mr. Young was born in DeKalb County in 1832. His mother’s maiden name was Pounds, and his father was Augustine Young, son of Robert Young of Hall County. His parents came to this county in 1835 and he lived and died on the same place that his father settled eighty-three years ago. His great- grandfather, Robert Young, married Diana Tucker of Portsmouth, Va., who lived to be a hundred and eight years old, as did four other of his ancestors who are buried in the old family cemetery in Hall County. It is a rather strange coincidence that his father and mother were buried on the same day. His three brothers and three sisters have all preceded him. In 18?6 Mr. Young was united in marriage with Miss Emeline, daughter of Jess and A. E. Ammons, of this county, who passed away several years ago. He is survived by four daughters, Mesdames Kate Hightower, J. E. Houseal, F. A. Irwin and J. H. Hawkins, and two sons, Messrs. A. E. and J. S. Young. There are also thirty-two grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Mr. Young was one of Polk’s largest landowners and most successful farmers. His eighty-six years of life have seen vast changes in the state and nation as well as his home and county, and up to the last he maintained his eager interest in the world’s history and progress. He was a man of fine judgment and great force of character, and was one of the leaders in public matters in the county until overtaken by the natural infirmities of age. A man of great kindness of heart as well as abundant means, no worthy appeal for help ever went unaided, and his devotion to his family was remarked by all who knew him. While the weight of years made the end inevitable, his passing away brings a feeling of sadness to his multitude of friend.

Stephens Wend@bellsouth.net July 12, 2004, 7:55 pm Cedartown Standard, February 11, 1904 On Wednesday morning, Feb. 8d, the people of Rockmart and community were made sad by the death of Florence Carmichael, son of our efficient Deputy Sheriff, Jno. F. Carmichael, who is well known and highly esteemed throughout the country. To behold one fallen in the bloom of life is to be impressed with the uncertainty and the seriousness of life. He patiently bore the ravages of a fatal malady, and met face to face the great enemy, saying, "I am not afraid to die." Funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Rockmart on Thursday morning at 10 o’clock, conducted by Rev. T. J. Branson and Rev. J. Lee Allgood. Despite the muddy streets and the cold, a large attendance at the church and the cemetery gave evidence of the high esteem in which the family is heed by our people. The writer having been the young man’s teacher when he was last in school spoke of seriousness as being a necessary element in character growth. Not to have a substratum is to be out of harmony with the deepest meaning of life. Rev. J. Lee Allgood, with manifest pathos and effective earnestness, spoke of the beauty of obedience to parents that wherever this was found there was evidence of kindred virtues. A spirit of serious regard for the high and good, of cheerful and willing obedience to parents characterized Florence Carmichael’s entire life, and enabled him in the morning tide of twenty-three years to approach serenely the valley of the Shadow; and "like him who winds the drapery of his couch about him, lie down to pleasant dreams." May the God of all comfort solace and sustain the bereaved family. T. J. Branson.

Stephens Wend@bellsouth.net July 12, 2004, 7:51 pm Cedartown Standard, January 28, 1904 Mr. Julius Hardwick, died Tuesday night of last week at his home in Cleveland, Tenn., after a protracted illness. He was for two years a resident of Cedartown, and won many friends during his stay here. After his return to Cleveland, he was united in marriage to one of Cedartown’s most popular and attractive young ladies, Miss Estelle Jones, who with two children survives the devoted husband and father. Mr. Harwick was a genial and popular young man and a host of friends in Cedartown join with those in Cleveland and elsewhere in offering to the bereaved families their sincerest sympathies. We clip from the Cleveland paper the mention below of Mr. Harwick and his death.__Julius Hardwick is dead. This was the sad news that spread rapidly over the little city of Cleveland Tuesday night. The Angel of Death called at 7:45 at the home of his aged mother on North Ocoec street, and this beloved young man is no more. A devoted wife, two loving children, an aged mother and four brothers survive him and mourn their loss bereavement shared by the entire community. Julius Holmes Hardwick, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Hardwick was born in this city, Dec. 4, 1872, and was therefore 31 years of age at the time of death. Practically all his life was spent in Cleveland, where the number of his friends far exceeded the number of his acquaintances. In both school and college deceased was studious and ambitious for the future, and throughout life the highest, ideals of manhood and citizenship were constantly before him. After leaving college Mr. Hardwick engaged in the banking business with his brothers at Cedartown, Ga., but in about two years he severed his connection with the bank and identified himself with the Cleveland Woolen Mills of this city, becoming secretary and treasurer, in which position he was eminently successful. In 1900 Mr. Hardwick was elected mayor, being the successor of his father in that office. No one ever filled the position more acceptably. In politics he was always a Democrat. In early life Mr. Hardwick identified himself with the Southern Methodist church, and a little over a year ago he renewed his membership under the ministrations of the Rev. George R. Stuart. He was also a member of Cleveland Lodge N.. 134, F & A. M., Cleveland Chapter and the Knights of Pythias. While in business at Cedartown, Ga. Mr. Hardwick became acquainted with Miss Estelle Jones, of that place who afterwards became his wife. They were united in marriage Oct. 23, 1895, and the union was blessed with two children, one daughter, Florine, aged 7, and a son, Richard Holmes, aged 4. The devoted wife ever watched constantly the bedside of her husband from the time he was taken with the illness that bore him from the scene of his earthly labors. It was not until last June that the tubercular trouble from which he suffered began to make its ravages felt so seriously that a change was deemed necessary. At that time health resorts and sanitariums in Wythville, Va., Baltimore, Md., Saranac Lake, N.Y. and Asheville N. C., were in turn visited, and among them the past six months were spent by this patient seeker after health. About two weeks ago Mr. Hardwick returned to this city, and it was known then that the end was near. And peacefully and in quiet submission to the Divine Will eternal rest came and the Angel of Death bore the spirit of Julius Hardwick to it eternal home.

Stephens Wend@bellsouth.net July 12, 2004, 7:49 pm Cedartown Standard, November 6, 1902 On the Sabbath afternoon of October 26th, 1902, the angel of death, which loves a shining mark, visited the home of John T. Hackney five miles west of Cedartown, and bore to the realms of Eternal Bliss the spirit of his eldest daughter, Zula, aged twenty-four years, two months and eight days. Zula Hackney was born at Tecumseh, Ala., but was reared and educated in Polk County. Twelve months ago she was the picture of blooming health, participating joyously in all the activities of a happy promising life. But last winter the fell disease of consumption laid its withering, relentless hand upon her, and neither medical skill, parental affection or sisterly devotion and assiduous, tender love and care of family and friends could restore health and lengthen the brittle thread of life. Zula bore her lingering, protracted sickness with Christian patience and fortitude, and when death came, she passed the goal of earthly life with that calmness and serenity of spirit which betokens the precious truth: -"That in the morn of the Resurrection she will rise in all the beauty of holiness." She will be sadly missed at home by father, mother and brothers, and especially, by her only sister, who will mourn her loss like the poor, lone dove stricken of its mate. The long solemn funeral procession of friends and acquaintances who followed her remains to their last resting place attest the high esteem and love in which she was held by the living. The survivors have the sweet solace that "their loss is her gain."
