Physicians announced that his death was due to heart failure. Mr. Troup retired as usual Saturday night in apparently good health. Sunday morning he did no reply when he was called as usual, and on investigation he was found dead. It is thought that he had been dead for several hours. Mr. Troup is a descendant of one of the oldest and most prominent families in Georgia. He was a son of Daniel Heyward Brailsford Troup and a grandson of Robert Troup, at one time governor of the state. He was closely related to many of Brunswick’s most prominent families. Mrs. John Nightengale [sic], of this city, is a sister of the deceased, including the Kings, the Dents, the Nightengales [sic] and others. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from St. Mark’s Episcopal church, Rev. R.E. Boykin officiating, the interment being in Palmetto cemetery. The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: P.W. Fleming, Gratz Dent, H.M. Branham, R.D. Meader and C.D. Parker.
