A.S. RAINEY, Ellaville
Ellaville, Sept. 16--A.S. Rainey, one of Ellaville's most prominent citizens, 
died at his home here Thursday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock.  For more than two 
weeks Mr. Rainey had been suffering from a severe attack of fever and while for 
several days his condition had been considered serious, his friends held out 
the hope that he would survive.  All that could be was done for him by the 
doctors of Ellaville and the neighboring towns but to no avail.  He could not 
stand the ravages of the fever and succumbed.  Mr. Rainey was about 38 years of 
age and reared in Schley county, having moved to Ellaville eight years ago.  No 
more useful citizen ever lived in Ellaville than Mr. Rainey and in his death 
the county and town loses a citizen of true worth.  He was active in everything 
that pertained to the good of the town.  For many years he had been tax 
receiver of the county and has held other offices of trust.  He was a member of 
the board of trustees of the Ellaville High School, a teacher of the Bible 
class in the Baptist Sunday school and secretary of the Schley County Sunday 
School Association.  he took a leading part in all the affairs of the town and 
enjoyed the highest esteem of all who knew him.  The whole town and county is 
in morning over the seeming untimely death of som useful a citizen.  Mr. Rainey 
is survived by his wife and three children, Daniel, Louise and carmen; his 
mother Mrs. M.S. Rainey, and two sisters, Mrs. E.S. Wall, of Ellaville and Mrs. 
J.C.???? of Bainbridge, besides a large (rest cut off)
