Passed  to  His  Reward.

The sad news of the untimely death of Mr. James I. Clements, at his home in 
Macon, reached this city on Monday afternoon.  In reporting the death the 
Telegraph says of him:

Mr. J. I. Clements, claim adjuster for the East Tennessee railroad, died at 
his home on Walnut street yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock of pneumonia.

Mr. Clements contracted pneumonia almost one week ago, and since that time had 
gradually grown worse until yesterday the summons came.  He leaves a wife and 
five children.

Mr. Clements was born and reared in Irwin county, and was always regarded as 
an honorable, upright and intelligent citizen, and those who knew him best 
esteemed him most.

"About a year ago he came to Macon and accepted the position of stock claim 
adjuster, which position he filled with such satisfaction to his superior 
officers that one month ago he was promoted to the position of claim adjuster, 
and had up to the time of his recent sickness filed that position with such 
ability that he would, no doubt, in a short time have been promoted to a still 
higher position."

The remains were brought from Macon to Sycamore Tuesday morning and buried 
with Masonic honors Tuesday afternoon, 2 o'clock, in the Clement's burial 
ground---six miles northeast of Sycamore--where his dead relatives for three 
or more generations have been laid to rest.  There was a large concourse of 
relatives and friends at the funeral.  Quite a number of his Tifton friends 
and Masonic brethren--- all who could possible do so---attended at the 
obsequies.

In death of J. I. Clements his wife and children have suffered an irriparable 
loss.  He was our friend and we invoke for his loved ones, left behind, the 
protecting care and guidance of our Allwise Creator, "Who doeth all things 
well" and for His own glory.
