Miss Jones got up in the morning feeling as well as usual, and went to the field and assister her father and others in picking cotton. About ten o’clock she complained of feeling badly and went to the house. She was there about fifteen minutes when she entered her room and laid down, thinking she would soon feel better. She was suddenly seized with several pains in her heart and stomach and died in two or three minutes. Miss Jones was a young lady who had many friends, and her death was a great shock to the community. The remains were brought to Talbotton Saturday afternoon and interred in Oak Hill Cemetery, Rev. Francis McCullough officiating. The funeral was largely attended, a testimonial of the high esteem in which the young lady was held.

Muscogee-Talbot County GaArchives News.....J.H. Martin New Judge of Chattahoochee Circuit October 3 1907 ************************************************ 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: Carla Miles cmhistory@mchsi.com August 27, 2003, 10:04 pm The Talbotton New Era The Talbotton New Era Thursday, October 3, 1907 Page 3 Judge J.H. Martin The Ledger feels that the Chattahoochee circuit is to be congratulated upon the appointment by Governor Smith of Judge J.H. Martin to succeed Judge W.A. Little, resigned, to take effect on the 5th of October. Judge Martin is one of the ablest lawyers in the state, and is a man of fine judicial capacity. He is one who likes to work, and a man who is in love with his work is bound to be a success. Judge Martin, upon the death of Governor James M. Smith, in 1890, the latter being judge of the Chattahoochee circuit at the time of his death, was named by the state legislature to succeed him, and he filled the unexpired term with signal ability and satisfaction to all and with great credit to himself. Judge Martin makes quite a personal sacrifice in order to become judge of the superior court of this circuit. He is a lawyer of a large practice, and his annual income from his practice is several times greater than the salary he will receive as judge of the superior court. But in this instance it may be truthfully said that the Judge’s loss is the people’s gain. The Ledger believes that with Judge Martin on the bench, the position will be filled with entire satisfaction to all, and with great credit to the judge. – Columbus Ledger The Talbotton New Era Thursday, October 3, 1907 Page 7 J.H. Martin New Judge Chattahoochee Circuit Columbus, Ga., Oct. 1. – The appointment of a judge to succeed Judge W.A. Little, of the Chattahoochee circuit, has been made by Governor Hoke Smith, and, as generally anticipated, Judge J.H. Martin of this city, is the man who has been named. Judge Martin’s commission has not been issued yet, but he has been notified that he has been named by the governor. Judge Martin’s appointment will be effective October 6th, the time set by Judge Little for his resignation to take effect. Judge Little mailed his resignation to the governor last Monday, and it was anticipated that the appointment of his successor would be made as soon as Governor Smith returned to the capital from Sylvester, where he delivered a speech last Tuesday. It appears that the appointment was made soon after that time, but it was not made known to the public. Today it became known that the appointment has been made, and Judge Martin was asked if he had received notification, and he said that he has. The appointment of Judge Martin will give very general satisfaction to the people of the circuit. He is a lawyer of fine ability and of a distinctly judicial mind. He has had a good deal of experience on the bench, having served as judge of the Chattahoochee circuit for quite a while and he will again make an excellent judge. Judge Martin was born and reared in Talbot County, Ga., and lived on a farm in that county until he was 17 years of age. He moved to Talbotton, where he clerked in a store for several years, later engaging in the business of merchandising on his own hook, which he pursued for several years. Mr. Martin read law and was admitted to the bar in 1874. He practiced his profession with much success in Talbotton until 1890. In 1880 and 1881 he was elected representative in the legislature from Talbot County. He declined to stand for re-election and never afterwards sought a political office. Upon the death of Governor James M. Smith, in the year 1890, who was at the time of his death judge of the superior court of the Chattahoochee circuit, Mr. Martin was elected by the general assembly of Georgia to fill the unexpired term of Judge Smith. Upon the expiration of his term, January 1893, Judge Martin resumed the practice of law in Columbus, having moved from Talbotton to Columbus in 1891. Since that time Judge Martin has devoted his entire time to the practice of law, and he has enjoyed a very large practice in the counties of the Chattahoochee circuit, and has frequently been retained in the courts, both state and federal, in the other counties of this state, and in Alabama. It is true to say of Judge Martin that during this period he has been on either on one side or the other in nearly every big case that has been tried in any of the counties of the Chattahoochee circuit. Judge Martin is a very able lawyer, and a man of very fine judicial ability. As an evidence of the opinion of the lawyers of the bar in Columbus as to Judge Martin’s judicial qualifications, more than two-thirds of them signed the petition to Governor Smith asking his appointment to the judgeship to succeed Judge Little.

Ragland, yesterday at noon, at the age of 79 years. She died just as the birds were caroling the coming of noon, when the sun was casting the beams with golden radiance on nature’s treasures. With an eye of faith one could see an invisible hand wave a signal, and a voice in softest accent, on the noon day breeze, announce that the gates were open and that God’s angels were waiting to escort her in. After a long and useful life, she died as she had lived, honored, trusted and loved. She reared her own monument while she lived in the hearts of those who knew her. Her live was completed, if work all done and well done constitutes completion. Her Christian life was beautiful from its beginning to its close. She was from early life a consecrated member of the Methodist church, attentive to her Christian duties. Through all the vicissitudes and sorrows, which she met in life’s pathway, her faith in God never wavered. Her husband died years ago and left her with a number of little children, one a baby boy but a few months old, who looked to her for guidance and support. She took up the busy duties of life which her husband had always discharged, and managed her affairs with remarkable judgment and success. When she is buried today, the grave will hide from us all that is mortal of a truly great and noble woman. Her last days were without pain and suffering. Yesterday as the death dew gathered on her marble brow, around her beside gathered her “boys” and “girls” – always boys and girls to her, though now grown to mature years with boys and girls around their own firesides! The life so long interwoven with theirs, with tearful eyes they watched, as it slowly but surely passed over. The love of a mother for her children passeth human understanding. The boys and girls that gathered around the bed of the dying mother, long ago passed out from the home circle. Business cares and their own home circles have encroached upon their time, but mother was ever just the same; rejoicing in their successes and grieving in their misfortunes. They may have grown away from her to some extent, but she never from them; they were still her boys and girls. We know that years hence the memory of her unselfish devotion will make them better men and better women and her precepts be their guiding star. To her children, T.A., C.W., H.B., Walter and Raiford Kimbrough and Mrs. A.B. Ragland, her loss cannot be measured; after all the poets have sung and lovers dreamed, outside of heaven there is no love like mother love. We believe that the tender care devoted to those nearest and dearest, went with her to the better land, and in the possibilities of eternity, may be needed hereafter. We fancy her awaiting them in the place prepared for her, a little apart from the innumberable company in the bright array; perhaps in one of the “palaces of ivory, its windows crystal clear” of which old Bonar quaintly sang. In the light, not of the sun, neither of the moon, we see her beyond the fields of fadeless asphodel, under the waving palms, beside the still waters, bordered with silver lilies. The funeral services take place today, and will be conducted by her pastor, Rev. Francis McCullough of the Methodist church. The remains will be interred at Oak Hill Cemetery.

Carter The death of Mrs. Edmund W. Carter at her home in Prattsburg last week, has caused a gloom to spread over that community. She was only 21 years of age and had been married but a few months. The Augusta Herald of Tuesday last says: Intelligence has been received in this city of the death of Mrs. Edmund W. Carter, formerly Miss Christine Kelly, which occurred at Prattsburg, Ga. at 12 o’clock last night. The deceased was 21 years of age and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.R. Kelly of this city. The news of her untimely death within six months of her marriage and in the prime of life, ---sed genuine sorrow throughout the city. She was reared in Augusta and was one of the most lovable and popular ladies in her community. Last January, she was married to Dr. E.W. Carter, who is a graduate of the ----- -- medical college. She was a consistent member of the First Presbyterian Church and her funeral will probably occur from that church. She is survived by her husband, parents, three brothers, and ---- sisters. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, August 8, 1907 Page 6 Death of Mrs. Edmund Carter Our community is again draped in deep sorrow over the untimely death of Mrs. Christene Carter. She was one of those grand characters whom to know was to love her. To make it so sad, she had just reached the age of womanhood, and a bride of six months. There must have been something beautifully magnetic, a grand life, a rich character, that in so short a time to so magnificently impress her many friends, touching the tender tendrils of love and friendship which multiplied her beautiful growth each day. We will sadly miss her at our homes, our social meetings, our church, Sunday school and Women’s Missionary League. How sad to think there will be no more homecoming, homegreeting; a vacant chair around the fireside – one more empty seat in church. Her name is recorded in our church book, her life work to God; her name is now written on pages bright and fair; her spirit sweetly resting in the arms of Jesus. She was reared in Augusta, Ga., where she was laid to rest and Prattsburg, in common with her native home, met at the tomb of this dear, sweet friend, shedding tears of sorrow and to say goodbye but not forever, for we have that promise and a happy recognition and greeting beyond this life to those who are faithful and true, where there is no pain, no sorrowing, no separation. We extend to her sorrowing husband and relatives our deepest sympathy, pointing to the Great Physician who can heal our sorrows and give us peace.

The following account of his death is from the Atlanta Constitution of Tuesday morning: After kissing his wife goodnight, C.O. Freeman, of 37 Carnegie Way, who had recently, came to Atlanta from Talbotton, Ga., went up stairs to his room, and going into the bathroom, swallowed a dose of poison, either laudanum or arsenic, and his death resulted within one hours’ time. Mr. Freeman and his wife were married just three months ago. They came to Atlanta several weeks ago, and Mr. Freeman had not succeeded in obtaining a position. He and his wife were on the porch at the place they boarded for several hours, and Mr. Freeman was apparently in the best of spirits, laughing and joking. He was the life of the party. About 10:30 o’clock he said it was time to go to bed, and rising from his chair, kissed his wife goodnight and went to his room then going into the bathroom took the dose, which ended his life. It is not known whether the poison he took was arsenic or laudanum. After taking the poison he reentered his room and went to bed. Shortly afterwards his wife left the party on the porch and went to her room. About 11 o’clock she called for a doctor, stating that her husband was ill. A physician was summoned and after working with the sick man for some length of time, he apparently recovered, and the doctor left the house. Ten minutes afterward, Mr. Freeman’s death occurred. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, July 4, 1907 Page 1 Not A Suicide Saye The Wife Mrs. C.O. Freeman Writes About Death Of Her Husband The Constitution has received the following letter from Mrs. C.O. Freeman, of Talbotton, Ga., concerning the death of her husband, in Atlanta: Talbotton, Ga., June 27 Editor, Atlanta Constitution - The reports contained in the Atlanta papers concerning my husband’s death are misleading, in that it was said to be suicide. My husband had suffered for weeks with pains in his heart, and on the night of his death he was suffering with a headache, and took a headache powder. I am sure the powder contained something that affected his heart, for when the effects were first apparent he seemed to be in a smothering condition; he could not get his breath, and complained of his heart, and asked for whiskey. Now, I cannot believe that my dear husband was a willful suicide, for our relations were so sweet and beautiful. He was always so kind and gentle. There was no earthly reason for him to have willfully done such an act. He had secured a position and would have gone to work Monday, and we had sufficient money for our every need. I prefer to believe the testimony of my dear husband than the conclusions of anyone else, and I must, therefore, believe that his tragic and untimely death coming to him in the flower of his young manhood, with a young wife of only three months, who loved him devotedly, and which he fully reciprocated, was other than the result of an awful mistake in taking, what he thought, to be a headache powder. Please be kind enough to publish this correction, as I cannot subscribe to the charge of suicide by my husband. Mrs. C.O.
