Died

At the residence of his parents at 1 o’clock on Friday morning the 7th inst., 
occurred the death of Mr. W.P. Russ, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.O. Russ.  Percy 
Russ, as he was familiarly known was born June 9th, 1862, and was consequently 
in the 31st year of his age.  For several months he had been much troubled with 
an affection of the lungs, and despite the earnest efforts of kind friends and 
relatives with the assistance of the best medical skill in Georgia, every 
effort proved unavailing, and like the dew drop of the morning or the flower he 
gently passed away, and while loving hearts knew that the end was near, no one 
was prepared to accept the sad summons.  He was loved by all who knew him, and 
as the sad news is carried from heart to heart his loss will be felt.  He as 
one that was never led astray by the evil influence of life, but always sought 
the best of company and tried ever to wield an influence for good over his 
associates.  He was honest, upright and pure; in fact he was one of the best 
young men that has ever been raised in our community, and his loss will be 
sadly felt.  He leaves a devoted wife, two little children, father, mother, 
sister, besides many friends and relatives to mourn their loss who have the 
sympathy of this entire community.  The funeral services were conducted by Rev. 
Dr. H.J. Harvey of Macon, at the residence of Mr. W.O. Russ on Friday evening 
and his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery in Butler.

We are pleased to state that Mr. Russ left his family in pleasant 
circumstances – unencumbered by debt, and by industry and close economy left 
them some property and an insurance policy of $5000 on his life.
