"UNCLE" ODELL DIES; HAD TOMBSTONE READY, 15 YEARS
Gainesville, Ga.,  March 1 --- (Special.)  "Uncle" Andrew J. Odell, one of the 
oldest residents of Hall county, and a beloved citizen and confederate 
veteran, died at his home on West avenue yesterday from the result of an 
accident sustained about six weeks ago, having been knocked down by a runaway 
horse.  Mr. Odell was the father of thirteen children, nine of whom survive 
him, his wife having preceded him to the grave by a number of years.  His six 
sons-in-law, Jim Roberts, M. C. Mabrey, John Vickers, Joe Finger, R. W. 
Barrett and J. I. Adams, acted as pallbearers, the funeral occurring from St. 
Paul's church, and the remains were interred in Alta Vista cemetery this 
afternoon.  Mr Odell had his monument prepared over fifteen years ago as he 
wanted it to stand, and has had it sitting out in the barn.  He had a blank 
left for the purpose of having the date of his death added.
