Henry S. Trawick Yields To Death

Former Prominent Citizen Passes Away at Seale, Ala.

Mr. Henry S. Trawick, for many years a prominent citizen of this county, 
residing several years at Butler and a number of years at Reynolds, being well 
known in the business interests of each of these cities, died at his home in 
Russell County, Ala., Wednesday morning, death being caused by an attack of 
acute indigestion.

It was learned that Mr. Trawick was feeling very well Tuesday, but late in the 
evening complained of feeling badly and took a little medicine to relieve him 
and that one of his sons, making inquiry about midnight, was told that he was 
feeling better.  About five o’clock Wednesday morning a younger son who slept 
with his father went into the kitchen and told the cook that he did not like 
the way his father looked, and on investigation, it was found that he was dead.

Mr. Trawick is survived by two sons, Paul and Dudley Trawick, and one daughter, 
Mrs. Kinsel Berry, of Columbus.

The remains were carried to Reynolds Wednesday night where funeral and 
interment took place Thursday morning attended by a large gathering of 
sorrowing friends from all parts of Taylor County.

Mr. Trawick was 55 years old, born in Russell County, Ala., April 19, 1860.

He moved to Butler in the early part of the year 1883, and Oct. 18th of the 
same year married Miss Susie Waters, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Waters, of 
this place.  He moved from Butler to points in South Georgia and Florida, 
thence to Reynolds in 1896 where he engaged in the cotton warehouse business 
and farming and was very successful for a number of years.  He moved to Russell 
County about seven years ago and there operated one of the largest plantations 
located near Columbus.  He was well known in Columbus where he transacted a 
great deal of business.

Mr. Trawick was preceded to the Great Beyond by his loving companion by a 
little more than three years, Mrs. Trawick’s death having occurred Dec. 14, 
1911.

The Herald joins friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
