Death of M.B. Mathews

Mr. M.B. Mathews died at the home of his brother, Mr. J.B. Mathews, at 
Prattsburg on last Thursday night from heart failure.  He was forty-two years 
of age, and one of the best-known and most prominent citizens of Talbot 
County.  While he had been in bad health for two or three years, his death was 
sudden and unexpected.

His death caused a dark gloom to spread over the whole community because all 
were his friends.  Life will never be quite the same to those who knew him, 
while those who were nearest to him will long for him with unutterable 
longings – long for a friend’s advice, and a brother’s kind and gentle presence.

The funeral services were held at Prattsburg Friday morning, Rev. J.G. Harrison 
officiating, and paying a beautiful tribute to the memory of the deceased.  The 
casket was covered with as beautiful flowers as loving fingers ever wrought, 
all of which spoke of peace, purity, and immortality.  At the open grave his 
friends and relatives said “farewell.”  May God’s purest angels guard his 
slumbers.

He leaves three brothers, Mr. E.R. Mathews, of Talbotton, Mr. J.B. Mathews, of 
Prattsburg, and Mr. Frank Mathews, of Oklahoma.  Also one sister, Miss Mary 
Mathews, of Thomaston.  We can only remind these dear relatives that he is not 
dead, he is only asleep – resting after a life of labor and sorrow.
