Eatonton Messenger April 16, 1926
ESTEEMED PUTNAM CITIZEN IS DEAD
Aged Confederate Veteran Native of Putnam
DIED AT DAUGHTER-IN-LAW’S HOME
ONCE COUNTY OFFICER
	Infirmities incident to the advanced age to which he attained were responsible
for the death of Mr. Henry R. Pinkerton, aged 86 years and a native of Putnam
county, at the residence of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. P.H. Pinkerton, in Macon.
The news of the passing away of Mr. Pinkerton became generally known in Eatonton
Thursday morning and was received with deep and genuine sorrow. 
	The deceased, who had lived here practically all his life, was among the best
known and most highly esteemed citizens of the county. He was a Confederate
veteran having served throughout the War Between the States with fidelity to the
principles that were the foundation of the government of the Confederate States,
and with personal courage that was not excelled by any of those who followed the
Stars and Bars from the First Battle of Manassas until Appomattox. 
	Mr. Pinkerton was at the time of his demise, and for many years before, a
consistent, though perhaps not demonstrative member of the Baptist church, to
the institutions of which he always showed a strong attachment which, even in
the closing and infirm days of life, when business cares had to be more or less
neglected, never flagged. At one time, Mr. Pinkerton was surveyor of Putnam of
Putnam county. 
	The deceased was twice married, his first wife being, before his marriage Miss
Annaliza Echols of Baldwin county. Of that union there were three sons, two
daughters and two step-daughters (he married his brother's widow), viz: J.D.
Pinkerton and Walter Pinkerton of Putnam county; P.H. Pinkerton, deceased of
Macon, Bibb county; Mrs. Thomas Fraley of Milledgeville and Mrs. James Wright of
Macon; and Mrs. J.R. Griffin and Mrs. Dave Winslette, of Eatonton, the two later
being step-daughters. 
	Mr. Pinkerton's second wife is Mrs. H.R. Pinkerton of Eatonton who survives. 
        The funeral and interment took place on Thursday; a large number of
Eatonton and Putnam county relatives and friends attending the last rites in
mute testimony of love and esteem.
