   A native of Madison County, Dr. Gholston was born November 26, 1876, and 
had lived in that community all of his life with the exception of the time he 
was attending college.  He graduated from the University of Georgia Medical 
School in Augusta in 1900 and entered the practice of medicine in his home 
county, continuing in that profession until the time of his final illness.
   He was a member of the Methodist Church and for many years was Sunday 
School Superintendent, chairman of the Board of Stewards, and was active in 
all the affairs of his church.
   He was past president of the Clarke County Medical Society and also of the 
Tenth District Medical Society and was one of the most highly respected 
members of his profession, being held in great esteem by both his fellow 
practitioners as well as his patients.
   Dr. Gholston was one of this section's best known men and was greatly loved 
by the hundreds to whom he ministered over a long period of years of fruitful 
service to his fellow men.  He will be greatly missed by the hundreds who knew 
and admired him for his sterling character and warm friendliness.
   The body will lie in state in the church from 1:30 p. m. until the hour for 
the service.
