Taken from the Friday, April 17, 1903 issue of The Southern
Sentinel.                                                                      
   
DROPPED DEAD. Called away without the slightest warning.  J.T.F. Gorham,
an aged citizen, expires suddenly-was doing his evening chores when he
fell dead at the
gate.                                                                          
                                                Last
Saturday evening the life of J.T.F. Gorham, an aged citizen of the
southern portion of town, came to a sudden end without the least
warning, and he joined the silent majority.  He had been engaged in
doing the evening chores about the place and had finished and started to
go into the house when he suddenly dropped dead in the gate of his yard.
It is supposed that heartfailure was the cause of death.               
He was a good old citizen, had lived an upright life of many years and
was considered as honest and truthful as the days are long.  By a frugal
life he had accumulated some property and at his death owned several
acres of land in the south end of town where he had a nice home.       
He leaves a wife and four children.  The body was interred Monday.
