Mr. Grice Lucas Died At Fort Valley Tuesday

Announcement of the death of Mr. Grice Lucas came as a great shock to his many
friends throughout the county.  It was known that he was quite sick; but up
until a very short time before his death his condition was not regarded as
serious.  His early passing has cast a gloom over this entire section, where he
well well-known and held in the highest esteem by all.

Mr. Lucas’ death occurred Monday morning about eleven o’clock at Fort Valley, in
which city he had been residing during the past twelve months or more, being one
of the most highly esteemed employees of the Fort Valley post office. His death
was due to pneumonia and other complications.

Mr. Lucas who was reared in this county, was 32 years of age the son of Hon. and
Mrs. C.M. Lucas, of Panhandle district.  Besides his parents he is survived by a
grief-stricken wife, two sisters and onebrother, all of this county.

He was not only a model young man, but a Christian gentleman in the full sense
of the term. He was a member of the Methodist church and his life was truly in
keeping with the doctrines of his church.

His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Crowell church Tuesday
afternoon, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. L.A. Harrell and largely
attended not only by his many friends in Taylor County, but many from Fort
Valley and adjoining counties.

The greatly bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy of the Herald.


Additional Comments:
Transcriber's note: The title of this death notice states that Mr. Lucas died on
Tuesday, however in the article it states he died on Monday.  I'm not a
researcher of this family and don't know the correct date of death.
