Sandersville Progress - April 19, 1922
James F. Brooks Died Last Week - Mr. James F. Brooks, one of the oldest 
citizens of the county, died at his home at Brooks Spring, eight miles west of 
Sandersville, last Friday, after an illness of several days, at the advanced 
age of eighty-seven years and was probably the oldest citizen of Washington 
County. For a number of years he was the owner of the property known as Brooks 
Spring, but a few years ago he sold it to Mr. W.H. Sheppard who has made 
considerable improvements by the building of a hotel and cottages, swimming 
pool and other conveniences. Mr. Brooks reserved a part of the property for his 
own use and made his home there, as he had great faith in the mineral 
properties of the water which he had used for many years. He was a good 
citizen, a member of the Tabernacle Church, and enjoyed the confidence and 
esteem of all who knew him. He is survived by his aged wife and a number of 
relatives. The burial took place at Tabernacle cemetery last Saturday.
