Mr. J.C. Sealy Passes Away

Mr. John C. Sealy, after an illness of four days from pneumonia, quietly and 
peacefully fell asleep at his home here Tuesday night at 9:15 o’clock.

Mr. Sealy’s death was such a surprise, having been ill only a short time, that 
his friends and the people of the town and community were greatly shocked when 
the sad news was rapidly spread Wednesday morning.

Mr. Sealy was born near Howard, engaging in business at that place when a young 
man and where he was happily married to Miss Lovie Smith.  He afterwards moved 
to Butler where for the past thirty years he, with his wife, have been engaged 
in the hotel business.  Mr. Sealy, for a number of years while in Butler, was 
engaged as a salesman with Bateman & Colbert also with J.W. McCrary, and was 
regarded as the best salesman that Butler has had since the war.  He knew what 
would suit the customer and suitable trimmings for the dress.  And he was so 
pleasant and affable to all with whom he came in contact that he won for 
himself a host of friends, and who remained his friends until called to the 
home and heaven of the good.

He was a member of the Methodist Church, and though not demonstrative in his 
life, yet, his heart was in the right place, and he was at all times a strong 
advocate of morality and pure, unselfish Christianity.  He was universally 
loved and respected, and no one in the county was better known than Mr. John 
Sealy.

He had a bright, sunshiny disposition and delighted to make those about him 
happy.  He had a kind word and a pleasant smile for all.  So it is no wonder 
that he will be greatly missed.

He leaves a brokenhearted wife; two daughters, Mrs. Jewel Childs and Miss Janie 
Sealy; one son, Mr. Gurney Sealy, of Macon.  Also three brothers, Messrs. Geo. 
C. Sealy, of Atlanta, Gus Sealy, of Montezuma, and A.H. Sealy of this county; 
one sister, Mrs. Droa Mathews, of Alexander City, Ala.

Card of Thanks

To the friends who came to us in our hour of trouble and deepest sorrow, 
through the illness and death of our beloved husband and father, and 
contributed all that human hearts, minds and hands could suggest and do, to 
help and comfort, we wish through the columns of the Herald to return most 
heartfelt thanks.  More especially are we indebted to Dr. W.W. Edwards for his 
faithful, painstaking and skillful services in trying to restore him to health.

Although such devoted friendship as that extended us cannot remove the sad 
memories that linger around our vacant chair, it brings into view the brightest 
side of humanity, and throws the pure light of an unselfish friendship into 
darkened homes.

May the day be far distant when those friends who gathered around us will need 
similar attention, but when the time comes may they receive the same full 
measure of generous aid and tender sympathy they brought to our home.

Mrs. J.C. Sealy and Family
