The Schley County News  Thursday, September 13, 1905
A PROMINENT  AMERICUS CITIZEN DEAD
Hon J.H. Lumpkin, after a brief illness of only two
days;  died at his home in Americus, last Sunday
night, his death resulting from a paralytic stroke
on Friday before.  It would seem his brain was the
most seriously effected part from the very first, so
much so that he never regained consciousness.  Mr.
Lumpkin was a brother of sheriff W.W. Lumpkin of our
town, and the oldest son of the late Jno. T.
Lumpkin, who was one of the first and foremost
citizens of this county during the early days.  He
was born and reared here in Schley, and after
reaching his majority, he removed to Buena Vista,
where he read law and was admitted to the practice. 
Seeking larger fields, he afterwards removed to
Americus, where he had risen in his chozen
profession until at the time of his death, he was
considered by the legal fraternity as one of
Georgia's leading lawyers.  During the past year the
people of Sumter county honored him by choosing him
as one of their representatives in the Georgia
legislature, which position he filled with great
credit to his state, his county and himself.  For
many reasons, his death was a very sad one indeed.
Not only did the sad end come just at a time when he
had rippened into the fullness of his manhood;  but,
sader still is the thought, that he leaves behind
three little bright eyed children, who had only a
few months ago sustained the invaluable loss of
their mother.  He had many friends in this county
who will deeply regret his untimely death.
