Atlanta Constitution, 30 Jan 1927 
DEATH SUMMONS BELOVED WOMAN - Mrs. Asa G. Candler, Jr., Dies After Long 
Illness at Candler Home on Briarcliff Road - Mrs. Asa G. Candler, Jr., beloved 
Atlanta matron, died at 2:15 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the home on 
Briarcliff road after a long illness. Mrs. Candler, before her marriage in 
1901 to the prominent Atlantan, was Miss Helen Magill, daughter of the late 
John H. Magill, former editor of The Hartwell Sun, and was a leading figure in 
local social and civic circles here for many years. She was a member of the 
Inman Park Methodist church, of the U.D.C., the Fine Arts club, the Atlanta 
Woman's club, the Atlanta Garden club and many other organizations. She 
attended school at Hartwell, Ga. and studied music in Atlanta under J. Lewis 
Brown. Mrs. Candler was a member of an old southern family and active since 
girlhood in church and women's club affairs. She was a leader as long as her 
health permitted active participation and was widely known and loved for her 
charitable and self-sacrificing work. Mrs. Candler had been under the care of 
a specialist at Johns Hopkins hospital, in Baltimore, until a few weeks ago. 
During the past two weeks her condition became critical and the end came early 
Saturday afternoon at the residence. She was 40 years of age. Funeral 
services  will be held at 11 o'clock Monday morning from the residence. Bishop 
Warren A. Candler, assisted by the Rev. Henry B. Mays, pastor of the Inman 
Park Methodist church, will officiate, and interment will be in West View 
cemetery. Mrs. Candler is survived by her husband, four daughters, Mrs. Homer 
Thompson, Miss Laura Candler, Miss Helen Candler and Miss Martha Candler, all 
of Atlanta; two sons, John H. Candler of Baltimore, Md., and Samuel Candler of 
Atlanta; and three brothers, George Magill of Richmond, Va. and W. W. Magill 
and Harry Magill, both of Atlanta.
