J. Mell McAfee Dead

James Melville McAfee, of Atlanta, brother of J. M. & H. A. McAfee and Mrs. L. 
P. Lockhart, of this place, died suddenly--after only three days' illnes (sic), 
of pneumonia-in Cleveland, White county, on Friday last. His remains were 
carried to Cumming and interred there on last Sunday.  He was a son of Hon. E. 
C. McAfee, of Cumming, and well known to every merchant and many others in 
North Georgia.  He had many relatives and friends in this county, who were 
saddened to hear of his sudden death away from home.  He was at Cleveland in 
the interest of John Silvey & Co., of Atlanta, for whom he had worked for many 
years, and enjoyed their respect, confidence and highest esteem as evinced by 
the following letter of condolence sent by that firm to his parents:
Mr. and Mrs. E. C McAfee, Cumming, Ga.;--We tender you and family our deepest 
sympathy in your great bereavement.  We can scarcely express our sorrow at the 
sad thought that our beloved and trusted Mellville will not again take our 
hands in his hearty and well known whole-souled grasp.  We offer the only 
consolation in our power.  He that doeth all things well knows what is best for 
our good.  Our loss is Mell's eternal gain.  His place in our hearts can never 
be filled.  He was with us eight years within a few days, and we wish to say 
that, in all our intercourse he has proven himself an accurate man, never 
failing to respond to every duty.  Prompt, efficient and trustworthy in every 
respect, careful in the smallest affairs, his character was such as to attract 
all who came in contact  with him.  We feel sure that his reward is great for 
the untiring good accomplished on earth.
Yours in sorrow, John Silvey & Co.
He leaves a wife and three children who live in Atlanta.
