Americus Times Recorder, Sept 15, 1905
FUNERAL OF J. HENRY LUMPKIN
Conducted from the First Methodist Church
The funeral services of Mr. J. Henry Lumpkin, who passed away at a late hour 
Sunday evening, were conducted Monday afternoon from First Methodist church, 
the auditorium being filled with sorrowing friends joining in this final 
tribute.  The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.P. Wardlaw.  A 
selected program of music was rendered, and the services throughout were most 
impressive.  Many very beautiful floral emblems covered the broadcloth draped 
casket.  Besides the active pallbearers, Messrs. Charles R. Crisp, Zach 
Childers, L.G. Connell, John Sheffield, O.L. Dixon, W.G. Turpin, J.H. Hagerty 
and T.F. Callaway, there was a large escort of homorary pallbearers, intimate 
friends of the deceased.  The Americus bar, of which Mr. Lumpkin had for twenty 
years been a prominent member, attended the services in a body.  The services 
were concluded later at Oakgrove Cemetery.  The death of Mr. Lumpkin, resulting 
from a stroke of pparalysis received recently, is deeply deplored in Americus, 
where he had so long resided and was esteemed among all.  Stricken in the prime 
of manhood, his demise is sad indeed.  Mr. Lumpkin was reared in Schley county 
but for many years has resided in Americus.  As a lawyer he stood in the front 
ranks of the profession in south Georgia.  He was county attorney, and also 
city attorney until he resigned the latter office a year ago.  Mr. Lumpkin was 
serving his first term as one of Sumter's representatives in the house.  Only a 
few months ago the death angel hovered his home, taking therefrom the beloved 
wife and mother.  Three little children, two manly boys and a baby sister, are 
now left without mother or father, though tender hands will direct and guide 
them.  Mr. Lumpkin's only immediate relative is his half brother, Sheriff 
Lumpkin of Schley county.  A delegation from Ellaville attended the funeral 
services here yesterday.
