L. Jarman A Civic Loss It is with more than ordinary sorrow that the death of Mr. Edward L. Jarman, which occurred on Sunday afternoon, is chronicled. Not alone is his death a thing of grief to those near the deceased- not alone that death came in the hideousness of rapidity- not alone that a big hearted, upright man is dead- but because one who has been a true citizen has passed away, should every Covingtonite mourn. Ed Jarman was hardly 37 years old- just in the prime of life. Plain, sterling honesty was his invariable rule, and he attained success without any of those sharp practices that have come to be overlooked in the commercial world of today. Careful, shrewd and intelligent in his dealings had placed him among the foremost of our citizens- a director in one of our leading banks. About four months ago he was married to Miss Nona Athon, of Athon, Ga., and since that time has made his home on Floyd street. He is survived by his wife, his mother, two sisters and one brother, Mr. L. W. Jarman, a large planter of the western part of this county. The funeral services were conducted at Bethany church on Monday afternoon by Rev. John B. Gordon and Winfield, and the remains laid to rest in the cemetery there, witnessed by a large concourse of friends and relatives. To the bereaved we extend deepest sympathy.
