The Schley County News, November 23, 1923  
Another Schley Citizen Enters the Great Beyond

Mr. R. T,. Oliver, who resided near Murray's Crossroads died at his home 
Thursday morning...(Note must have been Thursday Nov. 15, 1923 as could not 
have made the paper by the next morning, the 23.).
Several weeks ago, Mr. Oliver suffered a stroke of paralysis and since then 
other strokes added to the seriousness of his condition until there was little 
hope of recovery.  With loving hands his dear ones tried to nurse him back to 
health but to no avail.  "The Silver cord was loosened, the golden bowl was 
broken"  and Mr. Oliver's soul winged its flight into that vast unknown world 
where myriads have gone before him and where it is the Christian's sweet 
privilege to think there is a land of pure delight where angels forever 
dwell.  Mr. Oliver was a good man and enjoyed the confidence, love and highest 
esteem of his fellow man.  He was unpretentious, but nevertheless wielded an 
influence in his community as well as elsewhere.  
Mr. Oliver was 67 years of age and had resided all his life in Schley County.  
He was an active member of the baptist church, having occupied a place as one 
of the Deacons of County Line where his membership had been for many years.  
The funeral obsequies for Mr. Oliver were conducted by Rev. J. A.  Nelson of 
Lilly at County Line about 10 o'clock this morning in the presence of a large 
concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. 
He is survived by five sons, Messrs. Jeff, J.P., J. N.,  T. E and W. H. 
Oliver, four daughters Mrs. Elmer Jernigan, Mrs. Henry Phillips, Mrs. Olia 
Millirons and Miss Lucille Oliver.
