Hon. W.H. Searcy

The passing of the Hon. Wm. H. Searcy removes from Talbot County one of her 
oldest inhabitants and most distinguished citizens.  Mr. Searcy had been quite 
feeble for some time.  His courtly presence had been missed from the scenes of 
Talbotton for many months, but it was a pleasure to his friends to know that he 
still lived, the potent, powerful influence of his strong personality far 
reaching.  Death came Tuesday afternoon at 5 o’clock in the home where he dwelt 
so many years, surrounded by his children and several grandchildren.

Mr. Searcy was as gentle as a woman; dignified as a judge, firm in his 
adherence to duty and unswerving in his allegiance to the best interest of his 
Church and State.  He was a true Christian and lived the life of the upright 
man in his daily walk.  His home was the center of beautiful Southern 
hospitality.  He was twice married.  He is survived by the following children: 
Mr. D.B. Searcy, Prof. W.E. Searcy, of Thomas County, Mrs. Walter Maxwell, Mrs. 
Mattie Searcy Leonard, of Columbus, also a goodly number of grandchildren.

A noble man has gone.  Men rise up and call him blessed. – Talbotton New Era
