Mrs. Newton Callier Sends Bullet Crashing Through Her Heart The entire town was startled at noon Tuesday by a telephone message stating that Mrs. Newton Callier had shot herself through the heart. At first it was thought to be a mistake but later messages confirmed the report. When the message was received Mr. Newton Callier was on the streets and was almost prostrated when he learned the terrible news that his wife had died by her own hand. Mrs. Callier had been unwell for some time and had gone out to the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Green, to spend several days in the hope that the change might benefit her. During the time she was there she was very despondent and expressed the belief that she would never be well again. Tuesday morning she was in a very melancholy humor and had been laying down a part of the morning. She came in to dinner as usual but could not eat very much. She excused herself saying that she would go and lay down for a while and possible she would feel more like eating. Upon leaving the dining room she went into the front room, which was occupied by Mrs. Green and obtained a pistol, which was in the tray of Mrs. Green’s trunk. She then crossed the hall and went into the parlor, secured a photograph of her husband and returned to the former room. She sat down on the side of the bed, placed the pistol to her heart and fired the shot, which sent her into eternity. Mrs. Green and Mr. Will Freeman, the overseer of the Mrs. Green, were still in the dining room and immediately ran into the front room when they heard the report of the pistol. Mrs. Callier had fallen back on the bed leaning on her elbows and was gasping for breath. She lived only a few seconds as death as almost instantaneous. As she fell back, the pistol dropped over the bed. She leaves a little baby only seven months old and a statement she made to Mrs. Green a few days ago in regard to the baby is the only thing that leads them to even think that the terrible act was premeditated. She had stated to Mrs. Green that she was not going to live and that she wanted her to take the baby in the event of her death. When Mrs. Callier left the table, the little child was there in Mrs. Green’s lap. >From the time that Mrs. Callier left the dining room until the shot was heard, not more than two or three minutes had elapsed. It seems that she went into the room, secured the pistol, crossed the hall and obtained her husband’s picture, returned instantly to the former room and fired the shot. Mr. Will Freeman in speaking of the tragedy said: “Mrs. Callier has been very despondent for several days and appeared to be on the very eve of a nervous prostration. Several times just before her death she had stated that there was no chance for her to get well again and would cry when she talked on the subject. When she came in to dinner Tuesday she did not eat hardly anything and complained of feeling unwell. I saw she was despondent and had the blues and tried to cheer her up and encourage her, telling her that she would soon be well again. She left the table stating that she would go and lay down for a while and possibly she would feel better. In a few moments time report of the pistol was heard. I did not think it was a pistol or gun at first but thought it was a paper bag some one was bursting. But in a moment Mrs. Green had entered the room where the report was and as I started in I met her, and she told me Mrs. Callier had shot herself. I rushed into the room and saw Mrs. Callier laying back motionless on the bed. She was dead when I reached her. The ball I suppose had penetrated her heart and it came out of her back on the right side, passing entirely through her body.” Mr. Callier was in town when he heard the news and was almost paralyzed with grief. He ran down to his home, secured his horse and rode rapidly to Mrs. Green’s before any of his friend could prepare to accompany him. When he reached the place and saw the prostrate form of the wife to whom he was so devoted, the scene was heart rending. The little motherless babe was in the cradle crying and would allow no one but its father to approach it. As the father was rocking the cradle and trying to sing the child the to sleep, while his heart was breaking, his mother entered the room before he knew of her presence, and throwing her arms around his neck, tried to whisper words of comfort to the grief stricken man. It was a pitiable sight and would have melted a heart of stone. Mrs. Callier was only twenty-one years of age and had been married eighteen months. She was a daughter of Mr. James W. Jones, one of the best know farmers of Talbot County. Since her marriage she has been living here in Talbotton. Her health has been very bad since her baby was born and it is the general opinion that despondency brought about by her condition was the cause of her ending her life. She was devoted to her husband and child. The last thing she did before her death was to get the photograph of her husband and play for a few brief moments with the little babe. The remains were brought to Talbotton Wednesday afternoon and interred in Oak Hill Cemetery. The funeral very largely attended by the friends of the deceased and her husband. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the heart-broken husband in his hour of agony and almost hopeless despair. The heart of the city of Talbotton throbs with sympathy for the father and motherless babe. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, July 14, 1904 Page Two In Memoriam A tragic death is ever deplorable and it is with sadness that I chronicle the recent tragic death of my wife, Lillian L. Callier. She was twenty-five years old and had been a member of Ephesus Presbyterian Church at Belleview since her early girlhood. She was a true and faithful wife during the brief year and a half of our married life. She was also a fond and devoted mother, and a loving daughter and sister. Having lived all her life in Talbot County she had many friends and schoolmates who regretted deeply to learn of her untimely death; of the young life so suddenly blotted out, no doubt in a moment of sad despondency. Of my interests and welfare she was every thoughtful – to me she was always kind, gentle and loving and her loss has been one of the heavy burdens that I would fain cast upon the Lord; feeling that I shall know in the great hereafter the mystery of the sorrow laid upon me now. And we who knew and loved her can but hope that she is at rest, life’s fitful dream over for her, and that He who is too wise to err, too good to be unkind, may, in His infinite love welcome her spirit to that beautiful home whose portals open far beyond the sunset’s gold. And we also trust that she will be waiting with smiling lips and outstretched hands to greet us when we too shall have passed, beyond the shores of time. And tho’ our hearts are filled with loneliness, sadness and regret for the loved one gone from us yet we will ever pray that – On the hills of Peace we shall meet her, When the dream called life is done, At the portals of pearl she’ll greet us, In the beautiful realm of Home. When the clouds have all been lifted, And the mists have all cleared away, Then we’ll all be reunited, In the joy of an endless day. N.V.

Lives seven miles out from Talbotton. Talbot is not to escape from the smallpox which has been so prevalent throughout the country. There is one case in the county now and unless all possible precautions are taken against the spread of the disease, we will probably have more. Friday afternoon word was received in Talbotton that Mr. Seab Jones, who lives about seven miles from town, had a peculiar breaking out on his body and that is was thought to be smallpox. Dr. Bardwell went out to see him Saturday morning and found that he had a well developed case. Mr. Jones is of the opinion that he was exposed while in Columbus about two weeks ago, and is satisfied that he caught the disease there. It is not thought that he has a malignant case, but the mild form which has been prevalent in most of the counties in the middle and southern part of the state. Smallpox being a winter disease, it is not so likely to spread extensively at this time, and it is to be hoped that we will escape without having any more cases.

Talbot County GaArchives News.....Letter to the New Era from Harry C. Brown in Florida December 17 1903 ************************************************ 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 November 20, 2003, 10:28 pm The Talbotton New Era The Talbotton New Era Thursday, December 17, 1903 Page Two Letter From Florida Dear New Era: For some months I have been traveling in Florida, and in many places I find old friends from Georgia. This week I have visited the finest city on the Florida coast – Tampa. The city and suburbs would not have numbered more than 5,000 souls 15 years ago, yet today there are 35,000 people in and around Tampa, and the prospect is that in the next decade that number will be doubled. Hillsboro County has taken advanced ground upon the subject of good roads and the results will be seen at once. Three years ago the city and county began to build 6 miles of road out toward the water dam. The town has simply built all along that road. Now the county has floated bonds amounting to $450,000, and it will begin the construction of turnpikes along the main public highways. They estimate that two hundred miles of this road will be built. It is constructed of phosphate rock, which crushes and seems to cement together into solid pavement. There are 169 cigar factories in Tampa and all sorts of people at work in them – Cubans, Spainards, Dagos and Negroes; and the latter are as good as the others. The entire business of west Tampa and Ybor city is dependent upon the cigar factories, and with the exception of the factories and bar-rooms all is wide open on Sunday. When a lot of this motley foreign population gets to talking you imagine you hear the confusion of tongues at the famous old Tower of Babel. On Tuesday I took passage on the beautiful steamer, Manatee, to visit the Manatee River and the towns of Palmetto, Manatee, Braidentown and St. Petersburg, the first three on Manatee River and the latter on the west side of Tampa Bay. Braidentown is the largest of the river towns but all of them are beautiful. At Palmetto is a unique little hotel built on driven piling out in the river two hundred yards from shore, and to get a salt bath one has to jump off of the porch out into the water. The lady who keeps it says she would not live on shore after having lived on the water, and that it is exceedingly healthy there. At Braidentown the leading hotel is kept by Mr. G.O. Turner and his charming wife. The hotel is a gem. Mr. Turner is son of Mr. John H. Turner and grandson of Mr. Jas. Turner, who, a number of years ago moved from Talbot to Stewart County. Mr. Turner is great-nephew of old Uncle Nat Athon whom all the older people of Talbot County used to love so much. How often have I heard my father and many of the older citizens of the county refer to Uncle Nat Athon as the best man they ever knew. Mr. Turner has a beautiful manly little boy who bears the name of Nathaniel Athon Turner. If there are any old friends of Uncle Nat Athon in Talbot County who would like to communicate with his nephew, they can write to Mr. G.O. Turner, Braidentown, Fla. and we can assure them that he will appreciate their letters, and if they ever call on him they will find an elegant gentleman. Yours Truly, Harry C.

Talbot-Baldwin County GaArchives Obituaries.....Mary Birdsong Little Kimbrough May 15 1893 ************************************************ 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 November 18, 2003, 4:01 pm Union Recorder, May 16, 1893 Union Recorder Milledgeville, Georgia May 16, 1893 Death of Mrs. T.A. Kimbrough Mrs. Birdie Kimbrough, wife of Mr. T.A. (Thomas Albert) Kimbrough, died at the residence of Mrs. Carrington in this city, yesterday morning at 7:45 o’clock. Mrs. Kimbrough was the teacher of vocal music in the G.N.&L. College. A few months ago it was observed that her health was failing but she put forth all her energies and continued in the discharge of her duties until about a month ago, when she was compelled to take her bed. Mr. and Mrs. Kimbrough and their two children boarded with Mrs. Lane at the Edwards House. About ten days ago it was thought a change of location might be beneficial to Mrs. Kimbrough and she was carried to the residence of Mrs. Carrington, in the northern suburbs of the city. The parents of Mrs. Kimbrough, Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Little of Talbot County, were early notified of her illness and came to her bedside at once. For several weeks they have watched with tender care the failing strength of their beloved daughter, as the flush of youth faded from her cheeks and she sank to the grave. Her attending physician, Dr. J.A. Callaway, called Drs. Hall and Croley into consultation, and everything possible was done to save the beloved wife, daughter and mother, but human effort was unavailing. Mrs. Kimbrough was well known and greatly beloved in this city. About ten years ago, soon after her graduation at Wesleyan College, she was elected a teacher in the M.G.M. &A. College, where she was a successful teacher before her marriage. Last fall she was elected teacher of vocal music in the Girls Industrial School, which position she filled admirably until her health failed. Her death is a sad blow to a devoted husband, two sweet little daughters, a father and mother, brothers and sisters. Her remains will be carried to Talbot County today for burial. *Note – Mary Birdsong Little Kimbrough passed away on May 15, 1893. She is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Talbotton, Ga.
