Death of Judge Candler

One of Talbot County’s Oldest Citizens Passes Away

Died at his home in Geneva, on Sunday, Oct. 27th, Judge A.T. Candler, aged 86 
years.

He was a man of excellent habits, fine moral character, and he continued to be 
active long past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of 
workers.  To this end there is no doubt that his sunshiny disposition largely 
contributed.  He was a practical man, but had his own peculiar way of 
extracting merriment from life as it went along, and he was not disposed to 
worry about matters that could be bettered in other ways.  This cheerful spirit 
remained with him to the last, and he retained his clearness of intellect up to 
his closing days.  He was invariably a good neighbor, and there was no happier 
family circle in the land than his.  When he died, full of years and ready to 
be gathered to his fathers, the grief that was felt over the close of his long 
career was widespread and sincere.  His best monument will be the good report 
that he has left behind him in the community in which he lived for so many 
years.

Judge Candler was a man who believed in the fatherhood of God and the 
brotherhood of man.  He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the 
pathway of his fellowmen, who lets into the dark places of life the sunshine of 
human sympathy and human happiness, is following in the footsteps of his master.

The funeral took place on Monday following his death and was conducted by Rev. 
Thomas of the Methodist church, of which denomination Judge Candler was a 
member.  The services were largely attended.

The deceased is survived by three sons and two daughters, Messrs. Geo. Candler, 
of Atlanta, Herb Candler, of Montgomery, Cliff Candler, of Atlanta, Mrs. 
Winchester and Miss Susie Candler of Geneva.
