WORD
Mr. E. M.  Word died suddenly at his home in this city

having suffered a stroke of paralysis sometime ago. The

Mr. Word was 75 years of age, having been born in
Grantville. For a number of years, he resided at Griffin
being the agent for Southern Railway. He also lived
several years in LaGrange, coming from there to Thomaston
about 5 years ago.

The deceased leaves his wife and the following children
to mourn his loss: Mr. C. L. Word of West Point, Mrs. W.
S.  Herring of Washington D.C., Mrs. J. L.  Pasley of
Thomaston, Messrs R. M.  Word and Hubert Word, of
Atlanta. Mr. Word was a member of the Presbyterian
church.

Mr. Word was highly esteemed by the people of this
community, among whom he had lived for the past five
years, and his death will be a source of sorrow to them.
The sympathy of the people of Thomaston is extended to
the bereaved relatives.
