       A GOOD MAN GONE TO REST

   It is with pain we announce the death of Mr. J. W. Lipsey, which occurred at 
his home Sunday morning at 5 o'clock April 16th, after a painful illness of 
nearly three weeks.  Mr. Lipsey had for a long while been a great sufferer from 
indigestion and heart trouble and it was with the greatest difficulty he 
attended to his business.  On the 30th of March he was confined to his room and 
bed, though from then until his death he had the best medical attention and 
careful nursing--death at last came as a relief to his suffering.
  Mr. Lipsey was born in Bibb County, Ga.,  June 19th, 1847 and was married the 
first time to Miss Sarah L. Paul, of Bibb County,  August 22nd 1867.  Of this 
union four children were born, only one of shom, viz, Mrs. Lucile Ernest, of 
Macon is now living.  Mr Lipsey's second marriage occurred in Macon, Ga., 
January 18th 1894 to Mrs. Annie E. Chapman, of this union two children survive 
who with a broken hearted wife mourn his death.  Besides his wife he is 
survived by  three children, two brothers,  Mr. Burrell Lipsey of Savannah and 
Mr. J. B. Lipsey of Columbus,  three sisters,  Mrs. Laura Brooks,  Mrs. Jones 
and Mrs. Ella Stalnaker, of Columbus, besides many friends to mourn their loss.
  Mr. Lipsey joined the Presbyterian Church in Macon in 1847 and from then 
until his death was true to the teachings of the Church and for a long while a 
member of the Masonic Lodge in Butler.
  The funeral services were held from the residence at 3 o'clock Monday p.m. by 
Rev. J. T. Adams, assisted by the pastor, Rev. W. O. Stephens, after which the 
interment took place at the cemetery with Masonic honors.  Owing to his having 
long been identified with the mercantile interest of Butler all places of 
business was closed during the serice in respcect to his memory.
