MR. P. T. HAMBY PASSES AWAY
His Death is Deeply Regretted by our Marietta People.
    It is with sadness and sorrow we chronicle the death of Mr. P. T. Hamby, 
a prominent citizen and merchant of this 
place. The sad event occurred Wednesday afternoon 2:15 o'clock, November 
18th, at the family residence on Washington Avenue. He was taken sick two 
weeks ago last Monday with what is known as the "Melton fever", a hereditary 
family disease that assumed an erysipelas form culminating in a high fever. 
He gradually grew worse until there was a dissolution of body and soul, and 
his spirit went back to the God who gave it.
    The deceased was 54 years of age and was a native of this county. He was 
a prominent merchant of this place and 
was of the firm of P. T. Hamby & Co.  He had served the city as Alderman. He 
married Miss Theresa Gober a number of years ago, a sister of Judge Geo. F. 
Gober and from this happy union six sons and one daughter came to bless their 
home, all now living.  They are Thomas, Homer, Hugh, George, Edgar and 
Herbert Hamby and Mrs. A. A. Bishop. His wife survives him. Mr. Hamby was not 
connected with any Church but was raised in the Primitive Baptist faith and 
was a strong believer in the Christian religion and gave the Creator all 
glory and power. He was familiar with the scriptures and would quote from the 
Bible with a good deal of memory. He was a man of honor and integrity, always 
courteous and considerate, kindly disposed and gentle in his death. Marietta 
has lost a noble citizen, and his wife a devoted husband and his children an 
affectionate father.
    The funeral took place at the family residence on Thursday afternoon at 3 
o'clock, Rev. V. F. Manget officiating.
    The interment was in the city cemetery.
    The pall bearers were Mrsses J. M. Stone, W. J. Frey, John Awtrey, E. F. 
Dobbs, J. A. Massey, W. F. Williams and G. M. 
Hicks.
    The Marietta Fire Company No. 1 of which the deceased was a member turned 
out in a body and paid their respect to his
memory. We deeply sympathise with the bereaved family.
    The stores closed during the funeral hour in respect to the memory of 
this good man.
    Owing to a rock being stuck in digging the grave, the burial was 
postponed to Friday morning.
