MR. STERLING J. MCCRORY DEAD
The Peaceful Ending of a Long Life.
Despite the tenderest care and the best medical attention, Mr. S.J. McCrory, 
after a long illness, passed away at the home of his son, Mr. C.R. McCrory 
Friday evening at 8 o'clock.  Death came gently to the tired sufferer and the 
soul entered it's new life without a pain shadowing the last moments on 
earth.  Mr. NcCrory lived for weeks in full conciousness of approaching 
dissolution and on several occasions talked calmly and rationally of the end, 
giving orders about his burial and other matters, seeming always to wish to 
avoid burdening his loved ones unnecessarily.  The deceased was born in South 
Carolina in 1822 and when quite young moved with his parents to Alabama.  At 
the age of 18, he came to Georgia and was married in 1847 to Miss Maria 
Prevatt who with four sons survives him.  Mr. McCrory was kind, generous and 
in a long life spent in Ellaville, made many friends.  The flower laden casket 
was followed to our city of the dead by a large number of citizens.  The short 
funeral service was conducted by Rev. R.F. Williams.
