Croom died: at his home near Powersville at noon last Saturday. He was about 73 years of age, an educated gentleman, an excellent citizen, and a progressive farmer in his earlier years. For many years he was justice of the peace of his district, and for at least two terms a member of the board of County Commissioners of Roads and Revenue. In his neighborhood he enjoyed the utmost confidence of those who knew him best, and was the trusted counselor in differences between neighbors involving legal questions. For several years increasing age rested heavily upon him, causing his health to decline steadily, and for six months prior to his death he lingered in ill health. Surviving him are a son and two daughters, J. T. Croom of Macon, Mrs. R. S. Howard of near Byron and Mrs. W. T. Little of Fort Valley. With the bereaved relatives many friends sincerely sympathise.
