When it was known that Mr. Jesse High had passed away his home near Mt. Zion on Tuesday, 29 Oct 1918, night, a feeling of genuine sorrow was experienced among the many friends and loved ones of the deceased. Mr. High's death resulted from pneumonia following Spanish influenza. Funeral services were held at Mt. Zion church Wednesday, 30 Oct 1918, afternoon at 3:00 PM. Rev H. N. Burnett and Rev S. O. Thomas conducted the services. A large number of friends and loved ones were present to pay their last respects. The deceased was about thirty years old. Since childhood he had been an earnest Christian and a member of the Mt. Zion Baptist church. His many kind neighborly deeds and Christian activities will long be remembered by those who came in contact with him in daily life. Mr. High married Miss Mattie Mae Everett, who with two small children survive him. The deceased was a son of the late J. G. High and his death leaves only three surviving brothers, Messrs. Joel High of Pleasant Hill; Chan High of near Mt. Zion; and J. D. High of Donalsonville, of the large family of children. Their many friends extend sympathy to the widow and little children bereft of their loved one.
