Dr. Mumford’s Condition

Much anxiety has been felt in Talbotton for the past week concerning the 
condition of Dr. W.E. Mumford.  This being his old home, he has a very large 
circle of friends here and his serious illness has caused profound regret.

There has been very little change in his condition since last Saturday.  His 
condition remains very critical.  Monday morning, his family gave up all hope 
of his recovery but he improved very slightly during the day and continued to 
hold his own.  It was thought by the physicians in attendance that a slight 
change for the better could be noticed yesterday, and they now entertain some 
hope for his recovery.

Rev. W.E. Mumford

The death of Rev. W.E. Mumford removes from our midst a man who was displaying 
a great energy, and achieving success in a field dear to the heart of all who 
have sympathy for suffering, helpless humanity.

Mr. Mumford came to our town when he was quite a boy and remained with us for 
many years.  It was here he found a noble woman, a fit companion for life.  
Here he made many friends who watched his course with high expectations, and 
celebrated his success with pardonable pride.

Now that the tender ties are broken, his Talbot friends will unite with the 
State in sympathy for his sorrowing ones, and regret that his life was cut down 
in manhood’s middle age.
