Cedartown Standard,  Cedartown, GA., Thursday, August 8, 1918
No more will the people of Cedartown see the cherry smile and hear the cordial 
greeting of "Jule" Wynn, for he has "crossed over the river to rest in the 
shade of the trees" after living more than his allotted three score years and 
ten. Mr. Wynn had been in failing health for some time, and was recently taken 
to a sanitorium in Rome for a surgical operation. Failing to improve, he asked 
to come home, and his daughter, Mrs. Stanfield, brought him here Thursday 
evening. He passed away Saturday evening, and his remains were laid to rest 
Monday morning in Greenwood cemetery, funeral services being conducted at the 
residence by his life-long friend, Dr. C. K. Henderson. Julius A. Wynn was born 
in DeKalb county, Feb. 6th, 1846. After the death of his father, his mother 
came with him as a young boy to Polk County, and this has remained his home. 
Serving the last fourteen months of the War Between the States with Wheeler’s 
Cavalry, C. A. 1st Georgia Regiment, he made a gallant soldier and has been one 
of the leading Confederate veterans of this section. He helped to organize the 
association of veterans of the 1st and 6th Georgia Cavalry, and served as 
Adjutant from its organization to the time of his death. Early in 1869 he 
joined the First Methodist church, in which he served as Steward for a number 
of years. On Dec. 23d, 1869, he was united in marriage with Miss Olivia 
Borders, who survives him with four children. Mrs. S. H. Stanfield of Atlanta, 
Mrs. Emmie Ballew of Cedartown, Capt. Frank A. Wynn now with the American 
forces in France, and 1st Lieut. Walter R. Wynn of Dallas, Tex. There are five 
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Mr. Wynn was an enthusiastic 
patriot, and took great pride in the fact that his two sons—Frank and Walter,--
and his two grandsons—Mr. Walter Ballew of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Sergt. Sam 
Stanfield, of the 518th Engineers, Camp Gordon,--are actively engaged in their 
country’s service. An outspoken friend, a warm-hearted neighbor and a 
progressive and patriotic citizen, he will be sadly missed in the home and the 
community, and in the annual reunions of old veterans that he loved so well. 
Coming from a distance to attend the funeral were his brothers, Messrs. J. F. 
Wynn of Armuchee, S. M. Wynn of Cuningham, and Frank F. Wynn of Oxford; Mr. S. 
H. Stanfield and son, Sam, of Atlanta; Mr. and Mrs. Jones Montgomery, of Floyd 
County; Mrs. A. D. Snoots, of Lyerly; Judge J. W. Maddox, Capt. J. A. Glover, 
Hon. G. E. Maddox, Mr. Hardin and Mr. J. D. Hanks, of Rome; Mrs. R. B. Everett 
and daughter, Miss Florine, and Miss Nell Cochran, of Rockmart. (Cedartown 
Standard, Thursday, August 8, 1918)
