Judge Blandford Dead

Distinguished Citizen of Columbus, Ga. Passes Away

Columbus, Ga., Feb. 1 – Judge Mark H. Blandford, one of Columbus’ most 
distinguished citizens, died suddenly yesterday at noon at his residence in 
Wynnton.  He was an ex-justice of the Georgia supreme court, a veteran of the 
mexican and civil wars, an ex-member of the confederate congress, and one of 
the most widely known lawyers in Georgia.

While Judge Blandford had been in feeble health for the past few years, he had 
not been confined to his home.  He was at the courthouse day before yesterday 
as a witness in a case.

Mark H. Blanford was born in Warren County, Ga. July 13, 1826.  His father was 
Clark Blandford, who was the first clerk of the Superior Court of Harris 
County.  Judge Blanford was reared in Jones County and studied law at Clinton 
with the late Robert U. Hardeman.  He was admitted to the bar in Jones County 
by a special act of the legislature, owing to the fact that he was a minor at 
the time.
