Varner Obituary I have the obituary for my great-grandfather, Charles Harrison Varner (1841-1882) who was Schley County Ordinary at the time of his death. It is from the Sumter Republican, Friday, May 12, 1882, and available on microfilm at the Americus library. A GOOD MAN GONE We are pained to learn of the death of Judge Charles H. Varner, ordinary of Schley county, who died at his home of dyspepsia, on Monday morning at eight o'clock . Judge Varner stood high in the estimation of all as a most perfect Christian gentleman - a member of the Methodist Church he consistently adorned its doctrines by holy living. Honored by his fellow- citizens with offices of honor and trust he proved himself to be faithful in every responsibility placed in his hands. When such men die we sorely feel the loss, for the place of such men is hard to fill. We tender our heartfelt sympathy to all sorrowing ones. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn the loss. His life was insured for $1000.
