Deaths Reported in Cobb County, GA, Newspapers, Vol IV
Marietta Journal - Issue of May 8, 1888:
DEATH OF MR. J. J. NORTHCUTT, SR.

          Mr. Jesse J. Northcutt, Sr., after a lingering illness of many 
weeks, died at his late home in this place on last Thursday night, at 11:30 
o’clock, aged 68 years.  He was one of the oldest dry goods merchants in 
Marietta, whose name has become familiar to nearly every household among the 
old settlers of the county.  He has always been recognized as a man of 
scrupulous honesty, straightforward in all his dealings, kind, courteous, and 
considerate.  He has been a life-long member of the Baptist Church, always 
upholding its doctrines and practicing its precepts.  He was a devoted husband 
and affectionate father, and his death removes one of our best and most highly 
esteemed citizens.  He leaves a wife and eight grown children, six of whom are 
married.  His funeral took place on last Sunday morning at 10 o’clock at the 
Baptist church, Rev. GS Tumlin officiating.  The church was crowded beyond its 
seating capacity, many persons had to turn away.  The funeral sermon was 
appropriate in all its parts, touchingly beautiful and impressively sad.  The 
casket was bestrewn with flowers.  “At Rest” lettered a large floral 
offering.  The pallbearers were some of the old citizens of the place and 
county – Hon. George Roberts, Capt. Smith Lemon, Mr. Green Bentley, Mr. H. 
Reid, Mr. WM Dobbs, Dr. A. Reynolds, Sr., Hon. JB Blackwell, and Judge GT 
Carrie.  A large funeral procession of carriages and buggies followed the 
remains to the city cemetery where the ceremonies were concluded at the 
grave.  The relatives have our sympathy in their bereavement.
