Death of Dr. Bivins

After an illness of several weeks Dr. R.T. Bivins died at
his home in this county on last Monday morning.  For the
past two years the Doctor had rapidly failed in health,
suffering from an attack of dropsy, though up to that time
he was a remarkably preserved man for his age.  He was just
entering his seventy second year at the time of his death.

Thus Dr. Bivins, there was no more widely known man thru
this section, Born and reared in this county and having
lived here all of his life, he was thouroughly identified
with every period of interest contained its past history.
For more than forty years he had faithfully followed his
chosen profession, at all times ever ready to respond ot the
call of the suffering and in this particular he doubless did
more chartiable practice than any man of his age.  As a
physician the Dr. was reckoned as one of the best in the
country; as a citizen , he was appreciated by all for his
intellectual worth; as a soldier throughout the civil war,
he was held in the highest esteem of his comrades, and as a
father and husband he was beloved by a large family. The
burial services were conducted at the Ellaville cemetery
Tuesday morning, by Rev. O.L. Peacock, a large assembly of
friends beign present, thereby attesting heir appreciation
for their departed friend. Schley Co. News A Card of Thanks
