Camilla, Georgia.  
Mr. T. W. Shirah, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Shirah, Sr., of 
Hopeful community, passed away at the home of his parents Monday morning, 28 Nov 
1927, at 3:00 AM.  Death was due to an affliction from which Mr. Shirah had suffered 
from childhood.  For some time past his condition had been very serious and the end, 
which came as a relief from his suffering, was not unexpected by the family.  Mr. Shirah 
was 28 years of age.  Besides his parents he is survived by a large family of brothers and 
sisters as follows: Carl Shirah of Bainbridge; J. E., G. W. Jr., and S. C. Shirah of 
Hopeful; Mrs. W. D. Cain of Bainbridge; Mrs. J. C. Harmon of Doerun; Mrs. T. A. Pope,

half brothers, Mrs. Z. H. Sellers of Pebble City, J. A. Shirah of Palmetto, Fla., and W. M.
