The Georgia Enterprise, May 5, 1892
DEATH OF MR. B. M. HOLLIS
     At about 8 o’clock late Tuesday, Mr. Barton M. HOLLIS suddenly died at the 
home of his son in law, Mr. Isaac A. STANTON, in Brick Store district where he 
had gone on a visit. He had eat a hearty breakfast and was in the front yard 
gathering some flowers, when he became weak and sank to the ground. Loving 
hands bore him tenderly in the house where he almost breathed his last in a few 
moments. 
     Mr. HOLLIS was an industrious man, a kind neighbor and a devoted husband 
and father. He was a plain practical man and by honest toil had accumulated 
considerable wealth. Those who knew him best, loved him most. His sudden death 
will bring sadness to the hearts and homes of his many relatives and friends 
here and elsewhere. He had been in feeble health, but it was thought that he 
was fast gaining strength and vigor. At the time of his demise he was about 64 
years. 
     He was laid to rest in the family cemetery, near his country home, on 
Wednesday morning, May 4th.
    He leaves a wife, several children and loved ones all over this section to 
mourn his death and lament his loss. While not an active member of any church, 
he possessed a warm and generous heart, was kind and benevolent, social and 
hospitable and his pleasant face and hopeful conversation will be missed from 
our streets. May our old friend sleep sweetly.
