   Dr. T. J. Walker Passes Away
   Died of Heart Failure - He Was A Gentleman of The Old South
   Dr. T. J. Walker died yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at
   his home on Reed Street.
   Dr. Walker was a native of Morgan County... He sufferd with
   asthma many years and this induced heart trouble which was
   the immediate cause of his death. The deceased leaves five
   children, as follows: Misses Rosa and Stella Walker, Messes
   S. W., W. L., and Percy Walker.
   Dr. Walker was a truly cultured gentleman, and his manners
   were those of the old school of the South. He was of the
   type now rapidly passing out and which will not come again.
   In heart he was a noble Christian and out of this grew his
   manners which were of a Chesterfield. He was a prolific
   reader and was as well versed in literature as the best of
   the times. He delighted in conversation and his language
   was chante and classical.
   Since coming to Waycross he has lived closely at home and
   very few people had the pleasure of his acquaintance, but
   he had a few friends who sought his company and he was ever
   ready to entertain.
   His last illness was short and he died while asleep,
   passing out without a struggle of any kind. his body will
   be carred to Madison this evening and be buried at the home
   place near that city beside his wife.
