     JEROME STREETMAN ANSWERS LAST ROLL CALL

  Mr. J. B. Streetman died at his home in Madison county midway 
between Hix and Ft. Lamar, Thursday night  of last week.  He
was born near Sewell's Mill with in three miles of where he died,
79 years ago.  Nearly 50 years ago he settled at the home where
he resided when the death sentence came, having lived in that
same community near four score years.  He has been married three 
times and is survived by his wife and the following children: 
Edward Lee, of Ft. Lamar, Mrs. Lem Maxwell and Mrs. Mack Segraves, 
who reside at the Streetman home, Mrs. Lem Bone of this city, Mrs. 
Campbell of Monroe, Mr. J.L Streetman of Hix, and Mr. C.H.
Streetman of California.

  He joined the church at Hudson River years ago, and later
moved his membership to Providence, where the funeral service
was conducted Friday of last week by Rev. W. M. Seay, of
Athens and interment followed in the church yard cemetery.

  Jerome was one of the few remaining war veterans of the
sixties.  He carried to his grave a large scar made by a minnie
ball in one of the battles fought in the war between the states.

  Intellectually, he was above the average citizen. He was a
recognized leader in his country and community. He held the
highest esteem of those who knew him best. Jerome had many 
friends in Commerce, who regret to learn that he passed away.
