Thurman, which sad event occurred on Friday last. He had been in failing health for several months although he did not take to his bed until a few days before his death. For many years he filled the office of Justice of the Peace in this district and was held in high esteem by everyone. He was a veteran of the Civil War and when called to his final rest had passed his 70th birthday. He was a member of Turin Lodge F. & A.M. and devoted to that order. He is survived by his wife and three sons, the latter being Judge Albert Thurman of Monticello, Mr. Wm. Thurman of Atlanta and Mr. Pierre Thurman of Tifton. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.S. Gaines after which the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at this place with Masonic honors. Thus, after spending forty years in our community, he has gone to his final reward, and we drop a tear to his memory.
