Butts County Progress
Mr. J. T. Mayo – Passes Suddenly

Mr. J. T. Mayo, a good and highly respected citizen of Jackson was found dead 
in the back lot of Mr. C. R. Gresham Tuesday at 1:15 o’clock.

Dr. J. A. Jarrell who lives nearby, discovered the outstretched body with one 
hand pressed over the heart, which indicated death from heart failure.

Mr. Mayo was doing some work for Dr. Jarrell at the time of his death and was 
seen at his task about three quarters of an hour before he was found dead.

Coroner Britt immediately held an inquest, the verdict of which was that the 
deceased came to his death by heart failure.  At the inquest Dr. Jarrell 
stated that his previous examination of the deceased’s heart led him to 
suspect the cause of the death no sooner than he saw the body.

Mr. Mayo was 65 years old, and was known as a straight forward, honest 
gentleman, and his death is universally regretted.  He was a member of the 
Masonic order and a deacon of the Baptist church.

His children, Mrs. C. J. Greer of Pepperton, John W. Mayo, of Griffin, J. T. 
Mayo, Jr., and Mrs. Henderson survive him.

The funeral was held at the Baptist church Wednesday afternoon, conducted by 
Revs. Goodrum and VanDenventer, and the body was interred in the Jackson 
cemetery by the local Masonic lodge.
