Mr. Frank Short

Wednesday last Mr. Frank Short, one of the best known citizens of our county 
died at his home near Brantley.

His death was from the expects of a wound received during the confederate war.  
When only sixteen years of age he became a confederate soldier and received a 
wound through the shoulder that rendered one arm useless and from which he 
suffered great pain, finally causing his death.

Mr. Short never married and lived his life of fifty-five years at the old 
homestead.

He was a member of the Methodist church at Brantley and was buried at the 
cemetery there Thursday morning.
