DEATH OF JUDGE R.M. McCASLAN

Judge R.M. McCaslan, one of Meriwether's oldest and most prominent citizens, 
died Friday at his home in Greenville. He had been in poor health for 
several months and while able to be up the greater part of the time, there 
was little hope of his recovery. Death came rather suddenly at last, and 
caused genuine grief throughout Meriwether county where he was universally 
esteemed. For twenty-nine years he filled the office of County School 
Commissioner and during this period he built up one of the best rural school 
systems in the state. He had been twice married, his second wife being Miss 
Willie Hill of Coweta county, who, with a young son, survives him. At the 
time of his death he was 75 years of age. Rev. J.E. Hannah of this city went 
down to Greenville and conducted the funeral on Saturday morning after which 
the remains were brought to Newnan for interment. A brief service at the 
grave was conducted by Dr. Jas. Stacy.


Additional Comments:

Buried next to wife, Willie Hill McCaslan, at Oak Hill Cemetery in Newnan.
