Lamar-Pike-Upson County GaArchives Obituaries.....Willis, J.M. February 27 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: Lynn Cunningham http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00011.html#0002535 June 10, 2004, 5:44 am The Barnesville News-Gazette, Barnesville, Ga., Thursday, March 7, 1907 Dr. J.M. Willis Dead Well Known in Middle Georgia, Having Once Lived in Barnesville. The death Sunday morning, February 24th, of Dr. J.M. Willis has caused universal regret in this city and elsewhere, where he had been so well and favorably known for many years past, not only among those whose hair, like his, has been silvered by the frosts of more than four score winters, but also among the younger generation, who, in knowing him, gave him their affection and respect. Dr. Willis was born in Jones county, Ga., on December 11th, 1822. Three years later, his parents moved to Upson county in that state, where, on a plantation, he grew to manhood, receiving the while, a common school education. After reading medicine in Oak Bowery, Alabama, he took the full medical and surgical course in the University of New York, graduating with high honors in 1846. Returning thence to Georgia, he located in Barnesville, where he married Miss Dorethea Cordelia Blalock; uninterruptedly practicing medicine until 1857, when he moved to Texas, locating in Cass county. In 1866, he moved with his family to Waco, continuing his profession of medicine there and at Calvert and at Wooten Wells (from 1880 to 1888) retiring from general practice in Waco in the late eighties, confining himself to special work, until the infirmities of old age compelled him to give up active work in his lifes chosen field, when he moved to Temple to spend the remainder of his days with his children located at that place. Some years after the death of his first wife, he married Mrs. Leaverton, in Calvert. Her death occurred in 1885. Throughout the Civil War he was a brigade surgeon in the Confederate Army, seeing service in Missouri, Arkansas and Mississippi. While residing in Cass county, he represented with dignity and honor, his District in the Thirteenth Texas Legislature under Governor Murrah. During his residence in Georgia, he represented that state in the celebrated convention held in Cincinnati by the Know Nothing party. Dr. Willis, during his lifetime, followed the political trend in his section and country always with keen interest; not for personal gain, but from purely patriotic motives. For seventy consecutive years, up to his death, Dr. Willis was a devout member of the Methodist church. For sixty tears he [was] a Mason with the rank of Knight Templar; and for fifty-five years he was an Odd Fellow; holding two medals of the last named order, each for twenty five years of uninterrupted membership in good standing. But for the fact that at the time of his locating in Texas there was no Odd Fellows Lodge established in this state, he would have been awarded a medal for fifty years membership, a very high honor indeed. By nature and breeding, Dr. Willis was a gentleman of fine instincts and noble character. Broad in his views; charitable to his fellow man; pure in his professional and private life, he was in every sense a gentleman of the Old School. He lived his life nobly, doing full duty each day, being not fretful of the future. And as he lived, so did he die. Twas not an icy hand that touched and stilled his lips in death; nor was it the grim reaper - rather an angel who came with sweet music and bore him away. And now in beautiful Oakwood cemetery, Waco, overlooking the Brazos river, mid scenes he knew and loved in prime of life and usefulness; by the side of his loved ones who had gone before - he is at rest. - Temple Texas Tribune (Transcribed 6/06/04 Lynn Cunningham) This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 4.1 Kb
