AN OLD CITIZEN PASSES TO REST—L. GOLDSMITH, ILL FOR MANY MONTHS DIED YESTERDAY 
AFTERNOON

L. Goldsmith, one of Brunswick’s oldest and best known citizens, passed away 
at the residence of J.D. Ross, on Norwich street, where he had rooms, 
yesterday at 3:25 o’clock, after an illness of two or three years.  While Mr. 
Goldsmith’s death came rather sudden, still his condition has been serious for 
many weeks.  HE was, however, up and about his room yesterday, when he was 
stricken suddenly, passing away in a very short time.

Mr. Goldsmith has been in failing health for many years, and for the past 
several months he has not left his room.

The deceased was 76 years of age.  He was born in New York city, spending his 
early life in the metropolis.  In 1881 he removed to Brunswick, and since that 
time he has been closely identified with the business interests of the city, 
always joining in every movement that meant something good for the city of his 
adoption.  For two years he was a member of Brunswick’s city council and has 
occupied other positions of honor and trust in the city.

“Pap” Goldsmith, as he was familiarly called by his hundred [sic] of friends, 
was a big-hearted jovial man, known by practically every resident of the 
city.  In his death Brunswick loses one of her best known business men, and 
the members of the family have the sympathy of the entire city.  He is 
survived by three daughters, Mrs. H.L.B. Wiggins, of Savannah; Mrs. A.B. Harby 
of Sumter, S.C., and Mrs. John C. Lehman of this city.

Funeral arrangements had not been completed last night, but the interment will 
take place sometime Sunday afternoon.  The funeral announcement will be made 
later.
