Pike County, Journal
Zebulon, GA., Friday, January 23, 1891

J.W. Brooks Dead

Mr. Jack Brooks died at his home at Molena, this county last Tuesday.

He had been in bed only a short time worth influenza developing into
pneumonia which hastened the end. The burial occurred Wednesday, with
Masonic honors.

Mr. Brooks was a citizen of whom his county felt proud. He was of a
friendly disposition and many mourn his loss. His sons are now among the
first men in the county in enterprise and intelligence.

Mr. Brooks had patented several useful inventions, which have proved him
to be a man of genius.
