The Schley County News  Friday, January 19, 1912
OLD CITIZEN DIES
Mr. J.W. Souter, one of Schley's oldest residents, died on last Saturday night 
at the home of his son, Mr. Monroe Souter, near Midway.  Mr. Souter had passed 
his eightieth birthday, but was a well preserved man.  He enjoyed the 
confidence of all who knew him and numbered his friends by the score.  The 
sympathy of the News is extended to the bereaved ones.



Additional Comments:
Hinton Hambrick wrote the Souter family history found in the "History of 
Schley County."  It relates the death date of John Wesley Souter (father of 
Monroe)as January 14, 1921.  Using the birth date which that family history 
supplies he would have been 96 years old had he died in 1921.  John Monroe 
Souter, the son mentioned in the above obituary, died Sept. 2, 1918, so he 
could not have been living if the 1921 date shown in the history book were 
correct.  In fact the marker for John Wesley Souter found at County Line 
Methodist church just across the boudary in Macon county list a death date of 
January 14, 1912.

The date in the history book is incorrect.  It appears the numbers were 
transposed when it was printed.
