He was the father of our efficient clerk, Judge T.J. Blasingame. The remains were interred at Shiloh church cemetery on Saturday. Mr. Blasingame was born in South Carolina May 16, 1806, and moved to Jones county, Ga., in 1822, and from there to Upson county where has lived for 40 years and reared a large family of children, eight of whom are living now - the youngest being 52 years of age. He was a deacon in the Primitive Baptist church for years and was regarded by those who knew him as a model Christian gentleman. It was rather a strange coincidence that Mrs. Blasingame, the wife of the deceased should have been buried on July 25, 1874, and Mr. Blasingame placed beside her on July 25, 1894 - exactly 20 years afterwards. The country misses such men, but no one can doubt that they are immeasurably benefited by the great reward promised to the faithful. Marvin S.
