AWFUL DEATH OF A LITTLE CHILD—Son of Mr. and Mrs.
W.W. Tabbott Killed by Flames—MOTHER’ [sic] DESPERATE FIGHT—In Trying to
Save Her Little Son She Was Also Badly Burned and is Now Quite Ill—Boy
Lived Only Few Hours.
Edgar,
the little three-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. W.W. Tabbott
was fatally burned yesterday morning at his parents [sic] home in this
city, his death ensuing about two hours later.
The little one was out in the yard and in
playing around a fire, his clothing caught and in an instant’s time he was
enveloped in flames. His mother rushed to save him and made desperate
efforts to extinguish the flames sustaining serious burns herself in the
attempt. Her efforts were supplemented by those of neighbors and friends
who heard her screams and hastened to her assistance, but in spite of
their struggles the little fellow was so terribly burned that nothing
could be done and after two hours of awful suffering death relieved him.
The bright little boy was an only son and
his parents are prostrated with grief over his tragic death.
Mr. Tabbott
arrived in the city from down the river just about the time of the
accident and hearing the sad news hastened to find his child burned almost
to beyond recognition and very near death although he was conscious and
remained so until the last.
Mrs. Tabbott
is seriously ill from the burns she received and the shock combined.
The sympathy of the community goes
out to the bereaved parents.
The funeral will occur at ten o’clock
this morning from the residence, Rev. Dr.
Rede officiating. The interment will be
in Oak Grove cemetery.

No death in recent years has caused more genuine sorrow than that of

yesterday morning. Filled with brain and brawn, the very picture of health and
happiness, his taking away leaves a gap in the community which cannot be filled.

“I
KNEW HIM.”
In all my newspaper experience and the consequent writing of
hundreds of deaths, non has caused me such sorrow as Wentworth Tait. If this
sturdy young American had a fault, I never saw or heard of it. He would often
bring copy for the Bijou Theater to the News office; he always wanted to save me
the trouble of taking it to the back, volunteering with that expression of
earnestness I know was real; his face, his smile, showed reality. ARTHUR LEAVY.

THREE KILLED IN TWO AUTO MISHAPS HERE LAST NIGHT
Three persons were dead today as the result of two automobile
accidents last night and this morning.
Two elderly Negro pedestrians were killed just prior to 7 p.m.
yesterday when they were struck by an automobile on highway U.S. 84 ten miles
north of Brunswick.
A North Brunswick housewife, Mrs. Annie Myrle R. Dubberly, 26, was
killed early today when her automobile crashed into a ditch within the city
limits on Altama Avenue.
The three fatalities brought to 16 the number of traffic deaths in
Glynn County thus far this year. In the same period of time, the Georgia State
Patrol post here said traffic deaths in its area stand at 45, as opposed to 26
for the same period last year.
County police investigating the U.S. 84 accident said Mrs. Clara
Joyner, 60 of Hill Cabin Road, and Willie Thomas, 60, of Rt. 1, were killed
instantly when struck last night by an automobile operated by Harold Glynn Cope,
18, of Rt. 1, Brunswick.
In a report filed by Lt. A.L. Lokey and patrolmen McDowell and Buck,
Cope was said traveling north on the highway when the two Negroes were struck
and killed. The two were said to have been in the northbound traffic lane.
Police reported the two were decapitated and torsos of each cut into
two sections, strewn along some 400 feet of the highway.
Young Cope, driving a 1968 model automobile, was charged with
driving 70 miles an hour in a 50-mile-an-hour zone, and with two counts of
involuntary manslaughter.
He reportedly told police he did not see the couple, but heard and
felt the impact as his vehicle struck them.
The Dubberly death occurred at 4:20 a.m. today as the automobile the
young mother was driving crossed Altama Avenue from Townsend Street and crashed
into a ditch.
The car came to rest in the ditch on its right side in approximately
one foot of water. The 1966 model car received some $1,700 damage. City
patrolmen H.G. Guinn and R.L. Yawn investigated.
Mrs. Dubberly, a resident of 1750 Townsend Street, was pronounced
dead on arrival at the Brunswick hospital. She had been a resident of Brunswick
for the past 12 years.
She is survived by her husband, Charles E. Dubberly and a daughter,
Susan Beth Dubberly, of Brunswick; her mother, Mrs. Grace R. Reynolds, Uvalda; a
sister, Mrs. Betty Kinchen, Uvalda; four brothers, Billy, Bobby, Elbert and
Jimmy Reynolds, all of Uvalda; several nieces and nephews.

COWARDLY MURDER—A Half-Drunken Negro Kills Officer Kid Thompson—The Faithful
Policeman was Pursuing His Murderer, when he Turned and Fired the Fatal Shot.
Officer Kid Thompson, one of the most efficient and faithful
policemen, who ever served the city of Brunswick, was made the victim of a
cowardly murder last night, and his dead body was surrounded by a sympathizing,
horror-stricken crowd, and carried into the rotunda of the city hall, where it
was viewed by a large concourse of people.
THE STORY OF THE CRIME—At 9:45 last night, the citizens were
startled by a succession of pistol shots one sounding right after the other,
coming from the direction of the Acre. The fifth shot fired did the fatal
work. None of the others, so far as is known, took effect.
Officer Thompson, ten minutes before his death, put a negro in jail,
and then went back to his beat in the Acre. Guy Turner, who was with the
officer, gives the most credible story of the shooting, he being about the only
reputable eye-witness of the whole transaction. Turner says a half-drunken
negro was acting in a disorderly manner in the open space fronting on Oglethorpe
street, between Markowtiz’s bar and Gus Adams’ restaurant. Officer Thompson
went towards the negro to arrest him, when the latter made a dash down
Oglethorpe street toward Mansfield. When in front of Belcher’s bar, the negro
turned and fired two shots at Officer Thompson, who was pursuing him. The
officer returned the shots. None of them took effect. The negro had a large
revolver in each hand. Guy Turner joined in the chase. At the northeast corner
of the city hall, the negro turned and fired again. The brave officer ran fifty
feet and fell on his face back of the city hall, being shot through the heart
and killed almost instantly.
Turner, close behind, took the dead officer’s pistol from his hand
and fired five shots in quick succession after the murderer, who plunged into
the darkness of Grant street, running in the direction of the south end. A
large crowd gathered around the dead officer. Chief Beach and Deputy Levison
were promptly on the scene, and the body was borne into the rotunda of the city
hall. Dr. Burford arrived, and said “he is dead.”
Sooner than seemed possible the young wife of the murdered officer
arrived at the hall in a carriage. Kind hands replaced her in the carriage and
ordered the driver to return home with his grief-stricken passenger.
WHO WAS THE MURDERER?—Mr. W.R. Odham saw the man who did the
shooting when he ran down Grant street, and declares it was a rather
light-skinned negro, tolerably well dressed.
The majority of the negroes in the Acre questioned by a T.A.
reporter deny knowing anything about the matter.
Mr. Ford, collector for C. McGarvey, standing in Belcher’s bar door,
looking out for money due him, saw the chase and coincides with Mr. Odham in his
description of the murderer.
Negroes living in the houses in the rear of the city hall say the
man who fired the fatal shot was a negro.
Two sailors and a small white boy were the only parties claiming to
be witnesses, who told the reporter that the murderer was white.
Under this evidence, the conclusion is inevitable that the cowardly
murderer of Officer Thompson is a negro, and the only suggestion as to his
identity made by those who saw him is that he is Dave Wood, well known about
town. Mr. A.H. Smith, bookkeeper for C. Arnheiter, says this was the negro’s
name.
Officer Thompson leaves a young wife, deprived of his support and
companionship by red-handed assisination.
ON THE TRAIL—At press-hour, a posse of mounted citizens are scouring
the wooded portions of the city. Bloodhounds have also been put on the trail.
The northern city limits have been cordoned.
Undertaker Moore has taken charge of the body.

LAID
TO REST—Policeman Thompson’s Body Sent to Covington—His Murderer is Still at
Large—Dave Wood is the Man, and He is Said to Be Wounded.
The coroner’s inquest on Officer Kid Thompson’s remains was held
yesterday. The following was the jury: G.W. Calvin, foreman; W.F. Doerflinger,
W.B. Moore, John Campbell, J.P. Shelly and John Baumgartner. Their verdict was
that he was murdered by Dave Woods [sic].
The evidence introduced showed that Officer Thompson had Wood under
arrest for disorderly conduct, and that while he was taking him to the police
station, Wood remarked, “Don’t crowd me,” and jerked away running, Officer
Thompson in pursuit.
The principal witnesses were Guy Turner and Geo. Carroll, both of
whom recognized the man as Dave Wood.
All night Saturday and all day yesterday a large posse of men were
untiring in their efforts to trail the negro.
Blood was found in several places leading from the scene of the
murder, and it is though that Wood was struck by one of the shots fired at him
after he had killed Officer Thompson.
Several other witnesses testified as to having seen him running and
it is almost certain that he will be caught.
A large number of the friends of the murdered officer visited his
remains yesterday with sad hearts.
His remains were prepared for burial by Undertaker Moore and shipped
to Covington on the E.T. train last night where they will be interred today.
Mrs. Thompson accompanied the remains to Covington.
At the post-mortem held by Dr. H. Burford it was found that the
bullet entered three inches above the left nipple, passing through the upper
part of the left lung and wind pipe and right lung, lodging in the right rib,
which killed him instantly.
A REWARD—A meeting of the city council and the county commissioners
will be held tomorrow night to offer a reward for the capture of Officer
Thompson’s murderer. They citizens are also raising a large sum to add to it.
The Brunswick Times-Advertiser; Tuesday 24 July 1894; pg. 1 col. 6
A
LARGE REWARD—Will Be Offered for Kid Thompson’s Murderer.
Nothing new has developed in the tracking of Dave Wood, who killed
Officer Thompson.
It is a settled fact now that he is the man that committed the
crime. It has just come to light that he went to his home on Sunday morning,
about one o’clock, and that he was shot in the arm.
No one has seen him since. Every effort is being exhausted to
capture him, and descriptions sent out to various places.
The governor has been requested to offer a reward for his capture.
The county commissioners are to meet this afternoon to take action
in the matter of a reward.
The Brunswick Times-Advertiser; Thursday 26 July 1894; pg. 1 col. 3
TWO
REWARDS—A Total of Three Hundred Dollars—The City Council Adds $150 to the
Reward Offered by the County Commissioners.
A reward of three hundred dollars has been offered for the capture
of Dave Wood, the negro who murdered Officer Thompson last Saturday night.
The county commissioners will offer one hundred and fifty dollars,
and the city council today passed a resolution offering an additional $150.
The authorities have used every effort to capture Woods [sic], and
have so far failed to find his whereabouts.
The reward will interest outside parties to look out for him, and
very likely he will be caught soon.
No trace of Wood can be found after he left his house Sunday morning
where he was seen by a colored woman.
The official precaution of the commissioners has not been made yet,
owing to the illness of Chairman O’Connor.
A number of citizens are still watching out for Wood in the swamps.

KID
THOMPSON’S WIDOW—A Movement to Raise a Fund By the Citizen [sic] of Brunswick.
Officer Kid Thompson, who was killed last Saturday night while on
duty, and, as he was always, using his best endeavor to maintain the law and
peace of our city, left a young widow. He was her sole support. The poor
little woman will return to Brunswick and make it her home. She is now in
Covington, where she accompanied the remains of her husband.
Kid Thompson was considered one of the bravest and most loyal
officers that ever served our city, and his friends were everybody.
A number have suggested that Brunswick’s citizen’s [sic] ought to
raise a fund and present it to this deserving little woman in memory of the
faithful service he has performed in protecting life and property in our city.
Every person in town can add a mite to the list, and swell it to a
good round sum.
Chief Lewis Beach will call on you, or it can be left at THE
TIMES-ADVERTISER office. Every day a list will be published showing how the
fund stands and giving the names of those who have contributed.
It is a most worthy object and the T.-A. hopes that Brunswick people
will see to it that Kid Thompson’s widow is provided for.
Put your name down if only for a small amount.
Savannah and other cities have on several occasions been very prompt
to assist the families of policemen who met their death while on duty, and
Brunswick should do so.
The T.-A. starts the list with $5.00.

$200
REWARD—Gov. Northen Offers for Apprehension of Dave Wood—The Murderer of Officer

From the proclamation below it will be seen that Gov. Northen offers
a reward of $200 for the apprehension of Dave Wood, who killed Policeman
Thompson. This with the rewards offered by the city and county makes a total of
$500 reward.
A PROCLAMATION—GEORGIA—By W.J. Northen, Governor of said state.

that on the 21st of July inst., in the county of Glynn, a murder was committed

Brunswick, Ga., September 25—(Special)—Frank
Tillotson, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Tillotson, passed away at
the city hospital early yesterday morning as the result of lockjaw, caused by a
low on the head which the youngster received while at play. Young Tillotson and
another boy of about the same age were playing in the yard of the dead boy, when
his playmate threw an iron rod on the top of the house. It rolled off and
struck Tillotson on the head. At first it was not thought the injury was
serious, but the following day lockjaw set in, and although everything possible
was done at the city hospital for the young man, it was to no avail.

Death of Hon. John M. Tison
It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of one of Glynn's
true and tried citizens, Hon. John M. Tison, which occurred during Tuesday night
last, at his home near Jamaica, in this county. He has been a great sufferer
with rheumatism for years past, and a few months ago he became so feeble that a
trip to the Hot Springs was thought advisable. The trip proved of no avail, and
he came home to die. Few men have figured more prominently in the history of
our county than Hon. John M. Tison. Having resided here from his birth, he has
been prominent in its affairs for nearly a half century, and has emphatically
grown with the country, both in wealth and popularity. He has several times
represented the county and district in the halls of the Legislature, and now, at
the ripe old age of nearly seventy, has quietly passed away.

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Tison
sympathize with them in the loss of their little infant baby. True he has been
with them but a short while but long enough to have woven around him cords of
affection anchored in the hearts of both mother and father to tear asunder which
caused them both pangs known only to those who have passed through the same
ordeal.

Sad News
Monday’s telegrams brought little else but sad news. Besides the
startling intelligence of Maj. Devereaux’s death, of which mention is made
elsewhere, a dispatch was received from Savannah, announcing the death of Mr.
Wm. Tison, of the firm of Tison & Gordon, and brother of our esteemed fellow
citizen, Hon. John M. Tison. Troubles come not single- handed-only a few days
ago Mr. Tison followed his daughter and her husband, Mrs. And Mr. P.A.
Hazlehurst, to their last resting place, and now must part with his only
brother. By the same sources came the news of the death of Mr. Warren Kenrick,
nephew of Mr. H.A. Kenrick and son-in-law of Mr. Burrell Lamb, of this county,
and also of the severe illness of the wife of the deceased. Well might we pause
and ask, Who’ll be next?

Darien Timber Gazette; Saturday 8 May 1886; pg. 3 col. 2
HENRY TODD IS NO LONGER
To some of us this announcement may seem of little importance, but a
larger majority will droop their heads in silent sorrow. And this sorrow will
not be confined to the many unfortunate poor of his own race who have received
timely aid and succor at his hands. All who knew him intimately, white or
colored, will join in his praise. The most prejudiced and narrow-minded will be
forced to admit that the colored blood which courses through his veins neither
deprecates his value as a citizen, nor obscured his brightness as an
industrious, honest and worthy fellow being. We will not go into details about
his sphere of usefulness, nor extol his virtues, but in full sympathy with all
the good people of Darien, we think it only due to express our regret for one
who has been a good and useful citizen and who has set his race an example which
for a long time should operate favorably as an impetus to their moral and
financial advancement. Mr. Todd was buried from the Presbyterian church on
Wednesday last at two o’clock, the Rev. J.N. Bradshaw officiating. The
following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: A.C. Wylly, E.P. Champney, Louis
Collat, Adam Strain, Jas. Walker and A.E. Dimmock.

AN AGED CITIZEN PASSES TO REST—H.O. TOLNAS DIED LAST NIGHT
FOLLOWING ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO
H.O. Tolnas, for over twenty-five years a well
known resident of Brunswick, passed away at the city hospital last night
following an illness caused by a fall which he had from a wagon several days
ago. At first Mr. Tolnas’ condition was not thought to be serious, and remained
at home on George street a few days after the accident, later being removed to
the city hospital.
Mr. Tolnas was 65 years of age and was a native
of Norway. He is survived by two sons, Triygive [sic], who sailed only a few
days ago on a trip to Norway, and Olaf, a young attorney of Athens, who is just
recovering from a serious illness.
During the past few years this aged citizen has
been the victim of unusual sadness in his household. Four or five years ago his
wife passed away, leaving her husband and four sons. Mr. Tolnas and his four
sons lived together in a larger house at the corner of George and Carpenter
streets, all of the boys being industrious, two of them working their way
through the University of Georgia. Over two years ago Paul, then about 18 years
of age, met with a fatal accident and was killed at the Yaryan plant. Young
Gunner Tolnas at the time collector for the Brunswick Bank and Trust Company,
was one of the Monroe Phillips victims, of eighteen months ago, the young man
being shot in that terrible tragedy. He lingered for a few days and finally
died off his injuries.
Mr. Tolnas was a shipbuilder by trade, and
ruing his long residence in Brunswick has built many small crafts. Since work
was started on the three-masted schooner by the Brunswick Shipbuilding Company
several months ago, he has been in active charge of most of the work, and was a
stockholder in that company.
Mr. Tolnas was a consistent member of the
Baptist church, and that funeral will be in charge of that Norwegian contingent
of the city.
Funeral services will be held at 3 o’clock this
afternoon from the First Baptist church, A. Larson officiating. Interment will
be made at Oak Grove cemetery. The following men will act as pallbearers: John
Olson, John Larson, C.O. Olson, Capt. Thomas Peter Kniunson[?] and Capt.
Lalin[?].

Deceased was 52 years of age and a native of

CAUGHT IN MACHINERY AND DASHED TO DEATH
Brunswick, Ga., February 4—(Special)—The body
of young Paul Tolnas, who was killed at the plant of the Yaryan Naval Stores
company, was laid to rest in Oak Grove cemetery today. The tragic death of this
well-known young man cast a shadow of gloom over the city.
The young man was one of the oilers at the large factory, and was in
the act of oiling a large conveyor when a portion of his clothing was caught in
the machinery, and in the twinkling of an eye he was dashed to death. His body
was terribly mangled and he died before medical aid reached him. The young man
was just 19 years of age, and had been a resident of Brunswick all of his life.

TOLNAS FAMILY IS NEARLY WIPED OUT—Three of
Four Brothers Meet Tragic Deaths Within Five Years—Two Killed at Brunswick.
BRUNSWICK, Jan. 4—Ensign Trygive
[sic] Tolnas, who lost his life in airplane [sic] accident in Pensacola, Fla.,
on Tuesday, was buried in this city today beside two other brothers of the
popular young officer, both of whom met tragic deaths. The young officer, who
was reared in Brunswick, was well known and popular among many friends in
Brunswick, and the news of his death came as a great shock to them.
Years and years ago H. Tolnas, a Norwegian by birth, removed to
Brunswick. He was a ship carpenter by trade, and worked at his trade for
years. Soon after arriving here he started work on a home, building it piece by
piece whenever he had time, moving into it when only one room was completed and
adding room by room until he finally had a large comfortable home. There were
four little sons, all of whom were raised in Brunswick; they were energetic,
worthy-hard-working boys, attended the local schools, always being among the
brightest in their classes.
The first tragedy that befell the happy family was five years ago
when Paul, the youngest of the boys, met with a horrible accident at the plant
of the Yaryan Rosin and Turpentine Company, where he was employed, resulting in
his death. He was a bright boy, popular among all who knew him, and the awful
tragedy cast a gloom of sorrow over the entire city.
Again, when Monroe Phillips went on his rampage in Brunswick three
years ago, killing some eight or nine people and wounding thirty others, another
member of the Tolnas family met death. It was Gunner, at the time employed at
the Brunswick Bank and Trusty Company, having completed his high school
education. He too, was an unusually popular young man, with hundreds of friends
in the city. In the meantime the father of the boys had passed away, and this
left two brothers, Olaf and Trygive [sic].
The older, Olaf, had removed to Athens, where he had attended the
University. Meeting with a certain degree of success in his profession of
lawyer, he sent for his younger and older brother, Trygive, and paid his
expenses through the State University. He graduated in the class of 1916 and
share first honors with Sam Brown Lippett, of Albany.
He later entered and graduated from the Washington Law School and
first entered the Government service in the reclamation department and from
there he joined the aviation branch of the service, receiving an ensign’s
commission. He was assigned to the naval air station at Pensacola, Fla., where
he had been flying for some time. He met death on Tuesday when the machine in
which he was flying fell to the ground. Full details of the accident have never
been received in the city.
Grief-stricken, the only remaining brother arrived in the city
yesterday to attend the funeral of the third brother he had lost within five
years, and he is now left without a living relative in this country. He has
received the sympathy of the entire city in his latest sad bereavement.
Thus out of a family of four promising young men, three have been
tragically killed before they had hardly attained their majority.

FIRE
ON NORWICH; OCCUPANT DIES
A 63-year old man involved in a fire yesterday at 629 Norwich Street
died this morning at the Brunswick hospital.
Identified as Edward F. Towles, he was the only occupant of a
one-story frame apartment owned by Mrs. J.B. Merriweather.
The apartment received extensive damage, said Chief Tom Nichols of
the city fire department. Cause of the fire was smoking in bed, he said. The
fire was reported at 9 p.m. with Companies One and Two responding.
Towles received burns but an autopsy will be performed to determine
exact cause of death.
Chief Nichols said the fire department also is investigating the
cause of a fire Tuesday at the Holiday Inn West.
A fire in room 216, last occupied by Leo R. Heiler of Rochester,
N.Y., caused heavy damage to the room and extensive smoke damage to other parts
of the building.
The building was completely evacuated at the time, the chief said,
and no one was injured. The amount of damage is still undetermined.

DEATH OF GOV. TROUP.
It is with feelings of profound sorrow,
says the Savannah Journal,
that we announce the death of the venerable patriot, statesman and sage,
George McIntosh Troup,
which afflictive event occurred about 12 o’clock at night, 26th
ult., at his lower plantation in Montgomery county, from hemorrhage of the
lungs.
Time does not permit us to give an
outline of the many incidents in the life of this man, which have so
endeared him to the people of Georgia, and with which especially in their
political bearing, his name has for about half a century, been interwoven
in the history of the commonwealth. But short as the time is, the decease
of such a man must not be passed over too hastily.
Gov. Troup
was born 8th
September, 1780, at McIntosh’s Bluff, on the Tombigbee River, in that part
of the Georgia territory, now the State of Alabama. Receiving his early
training on the seaboard of Georgia, and pursuing afterwards his
elementary course at an academy on Long Island, N.Y., he thence went to
Nassau Hall College, where he was graduated with honor.—On his return to
Georgia, he was several times successively elected a Representative in the
Legislature, from Chatham county, from 1801 to 1803, inclusive. At
Savannah he had fixed his residence, and here he had studied law and been
admitted to the Bar after a course of study under the
Hon. John Y. Noel.
For the practice of law, he seemed to have had little relish; and in 1804
he removed to the county of Bryan, where he lived in retirement for
several years. The records of the Superior Court of that county show, that
he discharged the duties of a grand juror there. In 1806, he was elected a
Representative to Congress, and continued to serve the State in that
capacity until 1815, when he again withdrew to private life. In politics
he was a Republican of that day and both in the General Assembly of
Georgia and the Councils of the Nation, he rendered efficient service in
that school of politics of which
Jefferson and
Madison were the acknowledged heads. But
he was not the partisan merely. Taking for his guide—as the only true mode
of administering our complex system of government—a strict construction of
the Federal Constitution, he never deviated from the plain path of
Republican simplicity, and it was enough for him to know that under the
strict line of constitutional duty any proposed measure was doubtful, to
cause him to forbear from the exercise of such doubtful power, “because,”
in his own emphatic language, “it was doubtful.” He never stopped to
inquire into the expediency of measures, but confined his action to the
limits of the character of government.
Gov. Troup
was in Washington when the British, in the year 1814, sacked the National
Metropolis and burned the Capitol. An officer of high rank in the U.S.
Army stated recently to a friend, that amongst the few bold spirits who
were unawed during that invasion of the British, when panic seemed to have
possessed the public mind, were George M.
Troup and
James Monroe.
Of an ardent and bold temperament,
Gov. Troup’s
elocution partook of the same character. He spoke seldom, but the words
which fell from his lips were warm, and gushed forth with true patriotic
fervor. His speech in favor of the Embargo, in 1809, is said to have been
highly eloquent and effective.
In 1816,
Gov. Troup was
elected to the U.S. Senate, for an unexpired term of two y ears, as well
as the full succeeding term of six years; but he remained in the Senate
but two years. In 1823, he was made Governor of the State by the
Legislature; in 1825, he was elected for two years more, by a popular
vote, the constitution having been, in the mean time, altered, so as to
give that election to the people. During the trying times when the
executive branch of government was in his hands, occurred the most
remarkable period in Georgia’s annals. History and tradition have both
united to testify to the exalted worth, high courage and brilliant talents
of her favorite son. He seemed to have been raised up for the occasion, as
much so as Moses to guide the children of Israel to the land of promise,
or Washington to lead the armies of our infant Republic, or to guide the
councils of our nation. No feeble heart could have meet and respelled the
shock of Federal aggression, no pen, less pointed, could have encountered
and silenced the edicts from Washington, and no talents but his, seemed
fitted for the crisis. Firm and unmoved, he breasted the waves of Federal
encroachments, and when told, by order of the President, that there was a
treaty concluding the rights of Georgia against the usurpations at
Washington, and the insolence of savages, within the jurisdictional limits
of Georgia, he quietly reminded the Secretary of War, that there was
“another treaty,” older in date, and controlling in the matter. “Troup
and the Treaty” became the rallying cry, the Indian title was
extinguished, a conflict of arms was avoided, and the hero of Georgia,
then called by Northern fanatics her “mad Governor,” lived to see the
finest portion of the State become the garden of the South, and to hear
his praises rung throughout the land.
Gov. Troup’s correspondence on this
subject, and his messages to the Legislature during those eventful times,
were models in their way, and deserve to be read and pondered by every
citizen of the State.
In 1828,
Gov. Troup was
again elected to the Senate, of which body he continued a member until
November, 1834, when he resigned and retired forever from public life. At
Washington, in 1833, he wrote the memorable letter to
Major Howard,
in which he defined the powers of the State and General Governments, and
the relations of the States to each other in so clear and masterly a
manner that it is not too much to say of it, that the authorship of such a
production is enough to fill the measure of any man’s fame. A more
precious legacy could not have been left to the people of Georgia.
Since 1834
Gov. Troup has
been lying in complete retirement from public engagements, occasionally
visiting the seaboard, and mountain watering places, and at his home in
Laurens County giving welcome and dispensing elegant hospitalities to his
friends. His dislike for and aversion to ostentation of every sort, gave
to those who did not know him, an impression that he was cold and
unsocial. But nothing is farther from the fact. His heart was warm, and
beat with generous and noble impulses. Consulted by political friends, he
at all times gave cordial responses to every question propounded, evincing
constantly the same originality of thought, clearness of mind, and force
of language which characterized all the emanations from his head and heart
as when he mingled in political issues or directed the councils of a
State.
But we must
close. History, and especially Georgia’s history, will do full justice to
such a man, so prominent an actor in the drama of politics and wisdom of
statesmanship. We learn that his remains were interred on Monday, 28th
ult., at Rosemount, Montgomery county.
The grave has closed over all that is
mortal of him; but when in after years the history of Georgia’s heroes and
statesmen shall be taught to those who are to follow us, and when the
achievements of the State in moral, political and commercial greatness
shall be recounted, infant lips shall learn to lisp and infant hearts to
revere, amongst other illustrious men, the name of the “noblest Roman of
them all”—George M. Troup.

GRANT TROUP, WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN, EXPIRES SUDDENLY—Found Dead in His Room in City
Sunday Morning
Grant Troup, 54 years of age and a resident of Brunswick and Glynn
county all of his life, was found dead in his room in this city Sunday morning
shortly after 9 o’clock. Physicians announced that his death was due to heart
failure. Mr. Troup retired as usual Saturday night in apparently good health.
Sunday morning he did no reply when he was called as usual, and on investigation
he was found dead. It is thought that he had been dead for several hours.
Mr. Troup is a descendant of one of the oldest and most prominent
families in Georgia. He was a son of Daniel Heyward Brailsford Troup and a
grandson of Robert Troup, at one time governor of the state. He was closely
related to many of Brunswick’s most prominent families. Mrs. John Nightengale
[sic], of this city, is a sister of the deceased, including the Kings, the
Dents, the Nightengales [sic] and others.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from St. Mark’s Episcopal
church, Rev. R.E. Boykin officiating, the interment being in Palmetto cemetery.
The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: P.W. Fleming, Gratz Dent, H.M.
Branham, R.D. Meader and C.D. Parker.

failing for some time, and a trip which he lately made to England, did not
result as favourably as his family and friends hoped it might.
The deceased was a brother of Governor TROUP of this State. He has
held many important and responsible positions in civil life with honour and
credit. He was a distinguished gentleman, intelligent and hospitable, and those
who had the pleasure of his acquaintance will always remember him with affection
and respect.

DEATH STILLED HER VOICE—The Sad News That Flashed Across the Cable Wires.
That was sad news that flashed across the cable wires yesterday
afternoon from Paris, bringing to a Brunswick household agonizing sorrow and
plunging into depths of sorrow a fond, admiring circle of friends.
The cablegram announced that Miss Daisy Troup had just died
suddenly, of heart disease, in the capital city of France.
Miss Troup was the daughter of Mrs. Troup and the sister of Mr.
Robert Troup fo this city. Six years ago she left home to complete her
education and, in New York, it was her fortuned to be under the training of a
master of vocal and music whose fame was measured by no small standard. This
professor told Miss Troup that she had a fortune in her voice, and offered her
the benefit of his instruction; provided she would sing at his concerts. In the
musicales of New York society Miss Troup’s voice won her flattering notice, and
she finally determined to devote her life to the operatic stage. After a visit
home, she went to Europe and, at the time of her sad death, was preparing
herself for her debut in grand opera, which was to occur the coming winter.
Young, beautiful, gifted far beyond the meed of the generality of
women, death, in its sudden and successful attack, removes a star of the great
art world and loosens the silken cord of a life that was all attuned to heaven’s
symphonies.
The announcement fell with shocking force upon the aged mother, who
has been in feeble health for some time, and she is completely prostrated.

to Brunswick for burial.

DIED
AFTER HER SWAN SONG—Full cable details of the death of Miss Daisy Troup,
published in the New York papers, state that Miss Troup, at the request of her
instructor sang before M. Carvaiho, manager of the great Opera Comique. M.
Carvaiho praised her work enthusiastically. Miss Troup fainted from the
excitement of the moment and died from heart failure in two hours. The remains
were embalmed and placed in a chapel. They will be shipped from Paris Saturday
and will reach here in ten days. Mr. Robert Troup, brother of the deceased, has
gone to New York to meet the body and attend to the transportation to Brunswick.

OVER
THE SEA TO A GRAVE—The remains of Miss Daisy Troup reached the city at 7:30 this
morning, from Paris via New York, accompanied by the brother of the deceased,
Mr. Robert Troup. The funeral services were held at St. Mark’s Episcopal church
at 11 o’clock this morning. Rector H.E. Lucas conducting them. A large number
of friends of the family gathered at the church to pay the last tribute of
respect to the fair, dead singer. The remains were interred in the family lot,
Oak Grove cemetery. The sad story of Miss Troup’s death has been fully told in
these columns, and the funeral today puts a gloomy period to a sweet life, full
of such great promise. For the stricken relatives there is a greater meed [sic]
of sympathy than death usually brings to utterance, and in their grief there is
not the added pain of those who weep alone.

ASSASSINATION OR ACCIDENT? – A Citizen of Brunswick Loses His Life While
Hunting.
BRUNSWICK, GA. Dec. 21.—Like wildfire the news spread through
Brunswick at 8 o’clock to-night that William Turner had been
assassinated or accidentally killed about six miles from Brunswick. G.W.
Wrights, Sr., off Sterling Station brought the news, saying that
Turner’s head was blown off by a load of buckshot. The news was like a
clap of thunder out of a clear sky. Turner was superintendent of
sanitary work here, and as brave a man as ever faced danger in any shape.
He had a few enemies, such as any man will make who is of undisputed
courage and brave in standing up for t his friends. But none are known of
who would have killed him. On the other hand, he numbered his friends by
the score, and all swore by him. Their respect and feeling for Turner
made the news of the death doubly shocking. Mr. Wright was seen by
the NEWS correspondent and said: “Mr. Turner was on his way to hunt
with others and myself to-morrow. About dark a negro drove up and said he
had found a gun lying near Camp Walker, and seeing blood he followed it
for a mile and found Turner lying in the road dead. When the fatal
shot was fired Turner was thrown from the buggy and caught by his
foot. His body was dragged a mile before a jolt released him. I left
friends in charge of the body and came to town to tell his family.”
As soon as the news became generally known a large party of friends
left for the scene and will investigate his death, some claiming that his
death may have been caused by the accidental discharge of his gun.
