Death of Dr. McClesky

A Good Man Gone At Last to Join the Great Majority

The death of Dr. S.L. McClesky, at his home in Athens, recently, brings grief 
to many hearts in Georgia.

He was a man that will be remembered by all who knew him.

Speaking of his many deeds of goodness, The Athens Banner says:

"Dr. McClesky has led an eventful and useful life in our community, as a 
minister of God and a physician.  He has been married twice his first being 
Miss Georgia Washburn, of Savannah, by whom he had several children, of whom 
Lucius L., Frederick W., Mary Ann, now Mrs. Hawkins, of Americus, Jeff E., 
Henry and James are living.  He has several dead.  His second wife was Mrs. 
Heard, by whom he had one child.  Commanding in physique, attractive and 
affable in address, his life crowned and beautified by piety, this venerable 
patriarch has gone to his last reward.  Dr. McClesky was a man who enjoyed the 
esteem and confidence of his fellowmen, whose whole life was consecrated to 
the service of his Master, and his death will be deeply deplored by a wide and 
sorrowing circle of friends and relatives.  Four score years had silvered his 
locks and bowed his form, but age and is concomitant frailties only deepened 
his abiding faith in his Savior, and his soul was luminous with fervent piety, 
and as the shadows of the evening of life darkened, his hope grew brighter in 
the great Beyond.  A good man has gone, but the trials, troubles and 
tribulations of this world have been exchanged for the blessedness of the 
eternal life beyond the grave."

Dr. McClesky was well known in Atlanta.
