John M. Key is not generally known, we learn from his son that his father died at his home in Douglasville of paralysis on the 25th day of last December. Mr. Key once lived in this county and was a Baptist minister, being a man of limited education yet possessing great natural powers. He was elected by the Republicans to the Constitutional Convention of Georgia in 1868 and in his own language voted with such men as Judge J.S. Bigby and Dr. Miller and for such measures as Hon. A.H. Stephens and ex-Gov. Brown, Linton Stephens and other distinguished Georgians drafted and recommended. A good man is gone to his reward where the wicked cease to trouble and the weary are at rest.
