The following obituary appeared in the 11 Feb 1904
edition of the Elberton Star newspaper and pertains
to James Nicholas Hall:

"MR. JIM HALL DROPS DEAD IN A FIELD. 

"Mr. James Hall, a prominent and wealthy citizen of
Bowman neighborhood, was found dead in his field a
short distance from him home at eight o'clock last
Thursday night. 

"Mr. Hall was one of the successful and enterprsing
farmers of that section and though a man of fine
prooperty, owning large and valuable bodies of land, 
he kept up his early habit of industry and thrift. 
He was in his usual health when he left home to go to 
his work and when night came and he did not return his
family being uneasy instituted a search for him. He
was found dead in his field where he had been working. 
Mr. Hall was troubled with some nerveous affection
at times that produced violent paroxyams or convulsions
and it is supposed that he must have been attacked with
one of these and his death was the result of this trouble.
Such men are a loss, not only to their family but to the
community in which they live. 

"In the church yard at Stinchcomb church he was laid
to rest. A large circle of friends and acquaintances
were present, giving evidence of the high esteem in 
which he was held. He leaves a wife and two children
to mourn his loss. The Star extends sympathy."
