Mr. T.D. Bartlett Died Suddenly in Columbus Friday

Relatives and friends of Mr. T.D. Bartlett, of Columbus, were very much grieved 
and shocked Saturday to learn of his death, which occurred Friday afternoon 
while acting in the discharge of his duties as officer in charge of Riverdale 
cemetery.

When the body of Mr. Bartlett was found lifeless, he was sitting in an upright 
position with little appearance of being dead.  A coroner’s jury, which made an 
investigation of his death, rendered a verdict that Mr. Bartlett died from 
natural causes, having suffered for some time from asthma and was subject to 
heart weakness.

Mr. Bartlett was reared in this county, where he has scores of friend, besides 
many relatives.  After temporarily recovering from an attack of asthma, Mr. 
Bartlett spent a few days here last week with relatives, and thinking himself 
able to resume his work, returned to the same just a day or two before his 
death.

Mr. Bartlett was 57 years of age, a man beloved by all who knew him.  He was a 
prominent member of the Heptasophs, a member of the Independent Order of Odd 
Fellows and has been for many years well known in civic affairs, having been a 
member of the police force for years, having been appointed to that body Feb. 
8, 1894, and resigning Dec. 15, 1912, to take the place of sexton of Riverdale 
cemetery, which position he held at the time of his death.

The funeral service took place Sunday afternoon from the late residence of Mr. 
Bartlett, 916 Third Avenue, Columbus, and attended by Mr. C.M. Bartlett, of 
this place.

The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: Messrs. J.S. Roberts, C.W. 
Mizell, O.W. Thomas, W.T. Johnson, R. Reid and L.A. Camp.

The deceased is survived by his wife, four daughters, Miss Beulah Bowden 
Bartlett, Mrs. W.F. Hamilton, of Marshallville, Misses Ruth and Louise 
Bartlett, of Columbus, and one son, J.W. Bartlett, of Columbus; five brothers 
and two sisters, C.M. Bartlett of Butler, George Bartlett, of Columbus, Mrs. 
J.G. Chamblis, of Sumner, Mrs. H.A. Childs, of Butler, Homer Bartlett, of Fort 
Valley, W.A. Bartlett, of Marshallville and Oscar Bartlett, of Sumner.
