NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, SEPTEMBER 20, 1878 

DRAKETOWN News 
  
Mr. Lemuel Lockhart, an old man about 70 years of age, died while under 
medical treatment at Dr. Hutcheson's about the 1st of July. He came to this 
section from Stewart county about two years ago last January. He had no 
relatives nearer than Columbus, Georgia where he had two sons. Mr. John Morgan 
with whom the old man was living and made a crop, immediately informed the two 
brothers by letter of their father's death and requested them to come and see 
after his effects which they did arriving at Mr. Morgan's last Friday a week 
ago. They arranged their business with Mr. Morgan and others and came down 
here to settle with the doctor and view the last resting place of their old 
father, who was buried at the cemetery at this place. They returned to Mr. 
Morgan's, expecting to start back home Monday, but the older brother was 
suddenly attacked on Sunday with a hemorrhage of the bowels. Dr. Hutcheson was 
summoned immediately and afforded him all the medical treatment that was 
possible, but to no avail. He died Tuesday night and was buried here Wednesday 
by the side of his father. The younger and only son, after having viewed the 
grave of his father and saw his only brother buried by his side, still had the 
painful duty of returning home all alone and carrying the sad news to the 
widowed wife and five children.
