Augusta Chronicle 6/19/1879
 We find the following in the Milledgeville Union and Recorder in reference to 
the death of Mr. John Treanor, at one time a citizen of Augusta:  "It is with 
feelings of poignant sorrow that we record the death of this old citizen and 
exemplary man. Mr. Treanor was attacked suddenly last week with choleric 
diarrhoea. This attack was successfully combated, and the danger was 
supposed to be over. But his kidneys became involved, and all remedies and 
skilful medical attention proved unavailing to give  relief. He died on 
Thursday night, at 12 o'clock.
     Mr. Treanor came to Milledgeville over forty years ago, and with his 
brother Hugh, deceased, engaged in the mercantile business, the firm was 
dissolved. Subsequently Mr. John Treanor was engaged in a similar business in 
New York and Savannah, and more recently he became associated with the large 
dry goods establishment of Jas. A. Gray & Co., of Augusta, Ga. On the death of 
his brother Hugh, Mr. Treanor came to Milledgeville to look after his deceased 
brother's affairs. He associated himself with Mr. A. J. Cline in the dry goods 
business, but in a short time he retired, to devote his whole attention to 
his milling interest. He was thus engaged when the fatal summons called him 
from earth forever. Mr. Treanor was once married-his wife preceded him to the 
grave. He was a man of remarkable fine physique, and enjoyed unusual good 
health for all of his years. He was nearly seventy-five years of age and as 
active as a man of fifty. He was a straight-forward, plain, unaffected, 
generous, public-spirited, kind-hearted, benevolent honest man. We have lost a 
most excellent citizen, and one which we do not believe had an enemy in all our 
community. He was blessed with abundant income, and could have lived without 
care or labor. But he was not happy unless he was employed, and up to the day 
he was stricken he was a hard working laborer with his hands. He was a Catholic 
in religion
    At 3 o'clock p.m., Friday, his remains were conveyed from the family 
residence to the Central depot, followed by a large number of  our best 
citizens. The following were pall-bearers: Sam Walker, A. Joseph, Capt. 
Tinsley, J. M. Clark, T. T. Windsor, C. M. Wright, H. H.Hendrix, S. P. Myrick, 
H. L. Waltsfelder, H. Terry. The remains were taken to Savannah for 
interment beside those of his kindred who had preceded him to the grave."
