All the afternoon and night he lay in an unconscious condition. During the early part of the night hope of recovery seemed almost improbable. We are pleased to learn, however, this morning that his condition is some better. Consciousness seems to be recovering and the Judge may yet recover. He is a man of most remarkable vitality which has been evidenced through former affliction being a paralytic from childhood and the victim of another severe shock two years ago since which time he has been confined to his home. Judge Colbert is one of the oldest and best known citizens of Butler and his illness is very much deplored. The Butler Herald Tuesday, October 10, 1911 Page Three Local Paragraphs The improvement in Judge Colbert’s health for the past week has been very gratifying to his many friends. He was able to be out of bed all day Sunday and continues to improve. His brother, Mr. A.J. Colbert, of Macon, spent Wednesday at his bedside. The Butler Herald Tuesday, October 17, 1911 Page Three Local Paragraphs Judge O.M. Colbert spent Thursday afternoon at the courthouse and on the streets shaking hands with his many friends all of whom cordially welcomed his presence. He has been in very feeble health for sometime and his improved condition is very gratifying to his many friends.
