Barnesville, Georgia, July 31, 1890


Dr. Colbert Dead
This community was very much surprised and saddened
by the announcement of the death of Dr. J.E. Colbert
at The Rock last Friday. Dr. H. Perdue received a
message calling him to attend the sick man, and he
hastened to his side. Dr. Colbert had taken an over-
dose of Morphine and all efforts to destroy the
medicine were in vain, and Friday night he died.


Dr. Colbert was a man of fine stature and was in
Barnesville only a few days ago, looking well and
stout. He was a physician and was a prominent man in
this section, and his death has caused universal
sadness.
