Mr. Scarlett suffered a stroke of paralysis about two months ago from which he never recovered. The deceased, while residing at Fancy Bluff practically all of his life, spent much of his time in his younger years in Brunswick. He was at one time a member of the Brunswick Riflemen, had served the county as its receiver of tax returns, and has represented his district in various county matters. He was popular among all who knew him and news of his death will be a source of much regret. Mr. Scarlett was the eldest son of the late George Stanton Scarlett and Virginia Tison Scarlett, both members of an old and prominent Glynn county family, and which has wide connections throughout south Georgia. In his early life he was active in local affairs and was always ready and willing to lend an aiding hand to the community in which he had spent his life. The deceased is survived by three brothers, Frank Scarlett, Robert M. Scarlett, receiver of tax returns, and Staunton [sic] Scarlett, of Saulsbury, N.C., and the following sisters: Mrs. A.S. Hilsman, St. Simons; Mrs. Daisy Daniels, Tampa; Mrs. F.A. Dunn, Jacksonville; Miss Meta Scarlett, Atlanta, and Miss Pauline Scarlett, Fancy Bluff. A number of nieces and nephews also survive. Funeral services will be held at the residence this afternoon at 3 o’clock and interment will be in the family cemetery near the Scarlett home, where five generations of his family rest.
