Frank M. McLaughlin Dead At Home Here

Popular Young Man Succumbs to Illness

“Frank McLaughlin is dead,” was the story briefly told and with quivering 
lips Saturday morning as friends bore the sad tidings, one to another, until 
hundreds in Americus knew that this erstwhile popular young man and genial 
gentleman had succumbed to long illness.

In the quiet of the night before, while the city slept his spirit quit the 
tired frame, so tired from long suffering, and winged its flight to higher 
and brighter realms.

“He has passed away, but the image of Frank McLaughlin, as hundreds knew and 
loved him, will be reflected in many hearts long after he has gone to silent 
and pathetic dust. Such men as he are not forgotten.

The idol of widowed mother and loving sisters whose strong right arm he was, 
loyal and tender ever to them and to his friends, he held closely the love 
and regard of those with whom he was associated, and none knew him who did 
not express for him high regard and admiration.

And when confronted by the inevitable; when the presence of the fell 
destroyer, Death, was slowly approaching through months of illness, he met 
the issue bravely and was ready to go. Cool and courageous in life, under 
all circumstances, so was he to the end of his last unequal combat. 

Frank McLaughlin was just thirty years of age and son of the late Dr. Frank 
McLaughlin, himself one of nature’s noblemen.

For several years he was associated with the drug business here until 
declining health necessitated a change to lighter work. Nearly all of his 
life had been spent in Americus, and by all here he was held in highest 
esteem. Everybody knew Frank McLaughlin and loved him.

The funeral was conducted from Furlow Lawn Baptist church at 3 o’clock 
Sunday by Rev. R. L. Bivins. Messrs. J. E. Prather, T. H. McLendon, Harris 
S. Council, I. B. Small, B. R. Ford, and Herbert Hawkins were the 
pallbearers.
