Georgia Enterprise
  On last Wednesday afternoon, March 30th, the funeral services of Col. R. W.
Bagby came off in the Covington Methodist church. Every seat in the house was 
occupied, while the isles, vestibules and front porch were filled with friends 
and acquaintances who had come to pay a last tribute to this brave and gallant
man. Twenty-five or thirty buggies and carriages filled with special friends
and loving relatives, accompanied the body from the home, three miles from town,
to the church. Elegant floral designs had been sent from Madison, Conyers, 
Covington and other places. The Confederate Veterans Association of Newton 
County ordered a very handsome design from Atlanta. Members of Col. Bagby's
company and regiment came from various sections of the State to attend the 
services, while a hundred or more veterans from Newton county were in the line 
of march to the church and cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Dr. R. J. Bigham, of Nashville, and Rev. T. J. Swanson, of this city. An 
appropriate tribute of respect will be prepared by the Veteran's Association
which will be published later.
