Hon. J.H. Worrill Dead

Well Known Lawyer Passes Away at His Home in Columbus

Hon. J.H. Worrill died at his home about three o’clock Tuesday afternoon, after 
a lingering illness.

Mr. Worrill was one of the best-known members of the Columbus bar.  He was a 
native of Talbot County, being the son of the lamented Judge Worrill of this 
county, and was bout 48 years of age.  He was solicitor-general of the 
Chattahoochee circuit for several years in the eighties and removed to Columbus 
about fifteen years ago.  During his residence in this city, Mr. Worrill has 
been prominently identified with the affairs of the city.  He has been in state 
and county politics for a good many years and exerted a great deal of 
influence.  He possessed a great deal of personal magnetism and was especially 
strong before a jury.  He was engaged in many of the most important criminal 
and civil cases in the Chattahoochee circuit.

Mr. Worrill married a Miss Biggers, who, with several children survive him.

Some eighteen months ago, Mr. Worrill was attacked by a hemorrhage, and the 
attacks have since recurred a number of times, gradually weakening him until 
the end came Tuesday afternoon.

The news of the death of Mr. Worrill will give the entire city a sad shock.

The funeral occurred a four o’clock Wednesday afternoon from the late residence 
on Fourth Avenue.  It was conducted by Rev. Stewart of Hamilton, his former 
pastor, assisted by other minister. 

The interment will be at Linwood cemetery.
