Middle Ga. Argus – Week of February 12, 1884
A. C. Bickers

A deep shadow of gloom has been thrown over our town this week caused by the 
death of one of our prominent citizens:  Mr. A. T. Bickers.  His death was a 
greater shock to our citizens than it would have been had he been confined to 
his bed or several days; but no one apprehended the fatal results many hours 
before it occurred, as he only took to his bed Friday and died Tuesday night 
with Pneumonia.  So short was his term of suffering, his features did not look 
the least ematiated after dissolution.  It looked more like burying a liver 
being as we looked upon his familiar form lying cold in death.  Although 67 
winters had passed over him, he retained almost the full vigor of manhood.  He 
had just entered into a prosperous and paying business at  this place, and no 
citizen in the new town had more faith in the future of the place.  He was a 
member of the Missionary Church, and his membership with Bethel church in 
Jasper County.  The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of all our 
citizens in this sad bereavement.  We would admonish the bereaved ones to so 
live as to meet him.
