TONDEE Mr. Edgar A. Tondee, the youngest son of the late Major Tondee of this county, died at Washington, D.C. on last Friday night. His relatives here were notified immediately and his remains reached here Monday, being interred in the Ellaville cemetery. Edgar A. Tondee was born in this county forty one years ago and was raised to young manhood on his father's farm. At the age of 17, he entered the newspaper business, doing his first work at the old Schley Enterprize, the first paper published in this county, edited by Mr. Sam Harp. A short while afterwards he accepted a position with the Times-Recorder and after a few years service with that paper, he, through the influence of the late Charles F. Crisp, received an appointment in the Government Printing Department at Washington, which position he has held with credit to himself as well as the department for 18 years. At the time of his death, he held the position of "Proof Reader," a very responsible place, and carrying with it a handsome salary. The account of his death came as a great shock to his many friends and relatives here, all of whom have anxiously watched his useful career since leaving his home for duties in other fields. He leaves in this county to morn his seemingly untimely death, four brothers and two sisters, namely, L.E., V.H., T.C. and C.R. Tondee; Mrs. A. Allen and Mrs. R.T. Bivens.
