DEATH OF PIONEER CITIZEN

The annoucement of the death of Dr. A.C. Pease, veteran druggist and pioneer 
citizen, which occurred Monday night in his apartment in the Virginia House, 
will be read with genuine sorrow by his many friends throughout the county 
and elsewhere. He had been practically helpless for three to four years 
before his death due to the encroachments of age and physicial infirmities 
which could not be reached through the usual remedial agencies but by means 
of a roller chair he was able to get out among his friends occasionally and 
maintained a spirit of cheerfulness almost to the last. Friday night he 
suffered a sudden collapse and remained in a semi-conscious condition until 
11 o'clock Monday night when he died.

Dr. Pease was 82 years of age. He was a native of Connecticut and came to 
Newnan in 1854 or 1855 and engaged in the drug business. He was associated 
with the late Dr. J.T. Reese continuously from the time he came to Newnan 
and when Dr. Reese died, he continued to manage the business. About five 
years ago he retired from active pursuits and during his remaining days 
sought only rest and quietude. He was a remarkable character in many 
respects and probably the oldest and most widely known druggist in the 
state. He was never married, his only relatives being two nieces and three 
nephews who reside in Massachusetts.

The funeral took place Tuesday morning, services being held in the parlors 
of the Virginia House. Rev. J.B.S. Davis who officiated, paid a splendid 
tribute to the dead man and brief talks were made also by Dr. Jas. Stacy and 
Rev. W.J. Cotter. The remains were carried to Somers, Conn., for interment, 
the corpse being accompanied from Newnan by Mr. H.H. North. John Spann, Dr. 
Pease's faithful colored attendant for several years was also taken along by 
Mr. North.
