Schley County GaArchives Obituaries.....Dixon, P.F. February 5, 1907 ************************************************ Copyright.

P.F. DIXON DEAD Mr. P.F. Dixon, one of Schley County's oldest and most highly esteemed citizens died at an early hour at his home here on last Tuesday night. Mr. Dixon had been in very feeble health for the past few years, though his very sudden death came as the result of a slight stroke of paralysis several days ago. It would be useless for us to attempt an Eulogy on the life of this good man, for his long citizenship and strong character stands out so prominently before the people of this county, that a feeble effort on our part to add laurels to his useful career would fall far short of the purpose desired. He lived to the good old age of 84, and if he had an enemy in the county, it was certainly not his fault that such existed. He is survived by an immediate family consisting of his wife and three sons, namely, Messrs. L.W. Dixon, of LaCrosse, Olin Dixon, of Americus and Claude Dixon, of this place. The funeral services were conducted from the home on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. C.M Ledbetter officiating. In the death of Mr. Dixon, the News loses its oldest subscriber, and perhaps its most appreciative one. Additional Comments: Burial was in Ellaville Cemetery.

The remains were brought to Ellaville on the early morning train Monday and conveyed to the family burying ground near the old homestead where she had lived the greater part of her days. Relative to the life of this good woman lived, we feel nothing we might, in our humble way say, would even approach a just eulogy to her memory. But as it was our good fortune to know her in childhood and until we reached man-hood's stage of life, we do know the sweet influences she exerted and the many acts of love and kindness she administered will ever record her name upon our memory as being one of the sweetest. best, most cultured and refined women that it was ever our pleasure to know. The greatest evidence of her real merits was that her whole life was a complete sacrifice for those she loved, and whether her efforts of loyalty and love were not with proper consideration or a bitter disappointment, she, never the less, stood true to every obligation of life, bearing them bravely without a murmer or complaint. We feel not the slightest hesitancy in saying that this sweet soul has received that last and only reward--a home of peace and love beyond the skies.

Lightner which was solemnized in the parlor of the home of the bride's parents on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, a very beautiful and impressive ceremony being performed by Rev. John Eden of Perry. For many months past it has been rumored that this popular young couple were contemplating such a step, but none realized that the happy union was to be consumated so soon. Not until a few days previous to the appointed time was the marriage made known. No invitations were issued, consequently, none save the relatives and a few special friends of the contracting parties were present to witness the nuptial tie. Mrs. Lightner was one of Ellaville's fairest daughters, and accomplished in the many graces requisite to the development of a lovable woman. Dr. Lightner is a prominent Dentist of our town, and enjoys an enviable reputation, both in business and social life. Mr. and Mrs. Lightner left on the 6:30 train, shortly after their marriage, for Savannah, where Dr. Lightner will meet with the State Dental Society, now in convention at that place. After spending several days at Tybee, they will return to Ellaville and for the present will be at home to their friends at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Hill.

The Schley County News Friday, April 22, 1910 No. 16 SERIOUS ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED It has come to pass that the sidewalks of our town will have to be widened. It will be expensive, of course, but our duty to our female contingency demands that we act, and act at once. No longer than Tuesday afternoon an almost serious collision occurred on one of our most prominent sidewalks, three of our most charming ladies participating therein. It came about in this way. Miss 'M" was going down the street and soon she met with Miss "K," who was locked arms with her friend Miss "I," the head gear of these three fair "bells" came in contact with each other with a crash and there was not sufficient space between the brick wall and a wooden column for them to pass, consequently, they were all wedged together. Policeman "Pete," after several broad blushes relieved the situation by gently removing each lady's hat, thus allowing them to go on their journey rejoicing. THINGS HAPPENED THIS WEEK edited by Will V. Jones Mr. Seaborn Williams, of Buena Vista, was in town Sunday. Mr. Chas. Stewart spent Sunday with parents here. Dr. C.G. Jones went up to Columbus Tuesday. Mr. J.T. Stewart made a business trip to Columbus Tuesday. Mr. Ed Stewart is the guest of parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Stewart this week.

GRADY MURRAY TAKES THE PRIZE Quite a ripple of excitement was created at the show last Monday night when Manager Howard announced that there would be a popular vote contest to determine who was the homliest man in the audience. The contest was chiefly between Mr. H. Willis Hogg and H. Grady Murray although there were other "ugly scoundrels"--as Ollie laughingly called them--that received their share of votes. Mr. Murray was declared the winner of the prize, a beautiful jewel case, and with a look of pride on his classic face, he walked proudly to the stage where he received, not a beautiful jewelry case, but a 30 cent corset. As Mr. Murray's face turned red, white and blue, the choir sang that beautiful ditty, "the Stars and Stripes." end # 16

W. A. PERRY In the death of Mr. W.A. Perry, occuring at his home near Andrew Chapel, on last Wednesday night, Schley County loses one of her most valued citizens and the community in which he lived also sustains an irreparible loss. Perhaps no man has ever spent his whole life in this county that could lay claim to so many true friends as did he. For honesty of purpose, fidelity to his home and church and doing charitable deeds, his record would be hard to surpass. He leaves a wife and several daughters who shall receive the entire sympathy of our people. The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church here Thursday afternoon conducted by his pastor, Rev. R.E. Bailey. Additional Comments: W.A. Perry's marker at Ellaville cemetery indicates death on April 14, 1910.
