Beloved Pioneer Passes Away

  Monday morning at about 5 o'clock the 
spirit of Mr. P. C. King left its earthly home
and winged its way to celestial realms.

  "Uncle Pete", as he was lovingly called by 
the people of the community, had been ill for
about six weeks, having been stricken a 
short time before Christmas with rheumatism, 
the only serious illness he had experienced, it 
is said.

  The funeral and burial of Mr. King Occurred 
Tuesday morning at 10 o;clock at the First 
Baptist church. Rev. Charles S. Durden, the pastor, 
had charge of the exercises, and was assisted by 
Elder S. H.  Whatley, pastor Grace Primitive 
Baptist Church, and Reverend S.R. England, pastor 
Thomaston Methodist church. A beautiful service was 
held, splendid talks being made by ministers. The
body was laid to rest in Glenwood Cemetery.

  Mr. King was born and reared in Upson Co. He was
born 83 years ago on the 9th of January. 
He lived about three miles West of Thomaston until 
about twenty-five years ago when he moved to town.
58 years ago he married Miss Carrie Grantland Brewster 
also a resident of Upson Co., who survives him. 
To this Union was born six children.
