Page 2 A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY! Mrs. Newton Callier Sends Bullet Crashing Through Her Heart The entire town was startled at noon Tuesday by a telephone message stating that Mrs. Newton Callier had shot herself through the heart. At first it was thought to be a mistake but later messages confirmed the report. When the message was received Mr. Newton Callier was on the streets and was almost prostrated when he learned the terrible news that his wife had died by her own hand. Mrs. Callier had been unwell for some time and had gone out to the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Green, to spend several days in the hope that the change might benefit her. During the time she was there she was very despondent and expressed the belief that she would never be well again. Tuesday morning she was in a very melancholy humor and had been laying down a part of the morning. She came in to dinner as usual but could not eat very much. She excused herself saying that she would go and lay down for a while and possible she would feel more like eating. Upon leaving the dining room she went into the front room, which was occupied by Mrs. Green and obtained a pistol, which was in the tray of Mrs. Green's trunk. She then crossed the hall and went into the parlor, secured a photograph of her husband and returned to the former room. She sat down on the side of the bed, placed the pistol to her heart and fired the shot, which sent her into eternity. Mrs. Green and Mr. Will Freeman, the overseer of the Mrs. Green, were still in the dining room and immediately ran into the front room when they heard the report of the pistol. Mrs. Callier had fallen back on the bed leaning on her elbows and was gasping for breath. She lived only a few seconds as death as almost instantaneous. As she fell back, the pistol dropped over the bed. She leaves a little baby only seven months old and a statement she made to Mrs. Green a few days ago in regard to the baby is the only thing that leads them to even think that the terrible act was premeditated. She had stated to Mrs. Green that she was not going to live and that she wanted her to take the baby in the event of her death. When Mrs. Callier left the table, the little child was there in Mrs. Green's lap. From the time that Mrs. Callier left the dining room until the shot was heard, not more than two or three minutes had elapsed. It seems that she went into the room, secured the pistol, crossed the hall and obtained her husband's picture, returned instantly to the former room and fired the shot. Mr. Will Freeman in speaking of the tragedy said: 'Mrs. Callier has been very despondent for several days and appeared to be on the very eve of a nervous prostration. Several times just before her death she had stated that there was no chance for her to get well again and would cry when she talked on the subject. When she came in to dinner Tuesday she did not eat hardly anything and complained of feeling unwell. I saw she was despondent and had the blues and tried to cheer her up and encourage her, telling her that she would soon be well again. She left the table stating that she would go and lay down for a while and possibly she would feel better. In a few moments time report of the pistol was heard. I did not think it was a pistol or gun at first but thought it was a paper bag some one was bursting. But in a moment Mrs. Green had entered the room where the report was and as I started in I met her, and she told me Mrs. Callier had shot herself. I rushed into the room and saw Mrs. Callier laying back motionless on the bed. She was dead when I reached her. The ball I suppose had penetrated her heart and it came out of her back on the right side, passing entirely through her body.' Mr. Callier was in town when he heard the news and was almost paralyzed with grief. He ran down to his home, secured his horse and rode rapidly to Mrs. Green's before any of his friend could prepare to accompany him. When he reached the place and saw the prostrate form of the wife to whom he was so devoted, the scene was heart rending. The little motherless babe was in the cradle crying and would allow no one but its father to approach it. As the father was rocking the cradle and trying to sing the child the to sleep, while his heart was breaking, his mother entered the room before he knew of her presence, and throwing her arms around his neck, tried to whisper words of comfort to the grief stricken man. It was a pitiable sight and would have melted a heart of stone. Mrs. Callier was only twenty-one years of age and had been married eighteen months. She was a daughter of Mr. James W. Jones, one of the best know farmers of Talbot County. Since her marriage she has been living here in Talbotton. Her health has been very bad since her baby was born and it is the general opinion that despondency brought about by her condition was the cause of her ending her life. She was devoted to her husband and child. The last thing she did before her death was to get the photograph of her husband and play for a few brief moments with the little babe. The remains were brought to Talbotton Wednesday afternoon and interred in Oak Hill Cemetery. The funeral very largely attended by the friends of the deceased and her husband. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the heart-broken husband in his hour of agony and almost hopeless despair. The heart of the city of Talbotton throbs with sympathy for the father and motherless babe.

Obituary-Tom Childs September 16 1906

Death of Mr. Tom ChildsMr. Tom Childs, one of the oldest and best-known citizens of Talbot County, died at his home near Prattsburg last week. His death was not unexpected as he had been sick the greater part of the year. His death will be quite a loss to the community in which he lived, as he was liked by everyone and his influence was always on the moral side of every issue. Mr. Childs was the father of Mr. Will Childs, Talbot County's well-known and popular tax collector. He is survived by his wife and several children. They ask that their friends be thanked through this medium for the many kindnesses and attention shown them during the sickness and at the time of the death of their beloved father and husband.

Tribute of Respect
To Thomas J. Childs, who departed this life Sept. 16th, 1906 at his home near Prattsburg, Talbot County. He was born Feb. 2nd, 1836, and had lived a citizen of this county and in the community of Prattsburg all of his life not far from the home of his childhood. A wife, two sons and one daughter survive him. He united with the Primitive Baptist Church in July 1853,
and lived a consistent member until his death. Mr. Childs was in deed and in truth a good man, an affectionate husband, father and neighbor. All who knew him will bear out what I state is true. He was always ready to wait on the sick, night or day, and he in company with his good wife, would visit the sick, rich or poor, so to love him was to know him. He was a great sufferer several months before his death, but he bore his affliction with that Christian fortitude which characterized one of God's saints, for by an experience of grace, he realized that this was not his home, that a better life awaited him beyond this vale of tears, for in this life he exemplified that faith that Absilum had of old: he looked for a city which had foundations and whose builder and maker is God.
I had the pleasure to meet this good man in the fall of 1877, and ever since then I have loved him, for he has left to us who have a hope of a better life an example of faith and trust in God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ worthy of our emulation. May the God of all mercy and the Lord Jesus Christ bless his bereaved family, is the prayer of his pastor and brother in hope.

In Memoriam: James K. Polk Cunningham was born Jan. 13th, 1850 and was married to Miss Mattie B. Stribling, Oct. 15th 1879. To them, one son was given, and they named him Ben Hill, in loyal admiration for the great and glorious statesman. Mr. Cunningham was a good citizen, a helpful, ready and obliging neighbor; to his wife and son he was ever kind and indulgent. His tender ministries in the home, his watchful care and devotion, the thoughtfulness he always exercised toward his family was admired and appreciated by all who knew him.   He was given to hospitality and welcomed the stranger as well as friend with willing heart and lavish hand. He was indeed a genial, generous host. He was a member of the Baptist church. He suffered greatly in his last days, but bore the pain with patience and fortitude. On March 19th, 1908, his weary spirit winged its flight to the undiscovered country. All that was mortal of Mr. Cunningham sleeps peacefully on the 'red old hills' of Talbot, those hills where 'many and oft the time he wandered in boyhood's days, near the home he loved so well, and where he wooed and won his bonnie bride, and as the years passed on they wandered down life's hill together, happy in the love and companionship of each other,' one is taken and the other left, but memory gathers the bygone hours into a garland fair and fadeless ' many friends extend sympathy to the bereaved wife and son and pray comfort and strength be theirs.

Obituary-Gardner Dozier November 15 1905

After an illness of about 10 days, Mr. Gardner Dozier died at his home in Talbotton yesterday from a perforation of the bowels. For several days his condition had been most critical, and the physicians in attendance had but little hope for his recovery. About ten days ago he came in on the rural route upon which he carried the mail, in an unconscious condition. He grew very ill quite suddenly when about five miles from town, and was unable to hold the reins in his hands. The horse which he was driving came on home and stopped in front of Mr. Dozier's residence here in town. Mrs. Dozier had been looking for Gardner for some time, as he was later than usual, and she was uneasy on account of his having complained of not feeling well before he left that morning. She assisted him into the house and immediately summoned a physician. From the first his condition was critical, and the end came on yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon about 4 o'clock. Every possible attention was given him by the physicians in attendance, and he was tenderly nursed
by the loving hands of his mother. But all the medical skill and tender nursing were insufficient to restore him to health.The death of Gardner Dozier has caused profound regret in Talbotton, as he was one of the most popular young men of the town. He was a model young man in every respect, and never knew what it was to do wrong. He lived a clean, pure life, and told his mother just a short while before his death: 'I am ready to die; I am prepared to go'. In his home he will be particularly missed. He has never thought of leaving home, but had lived with his mother and father, looking after the business of the farm and assisting in all the work to be done. He was always at home when no engaged with his business, preferring to be there than elsewhere. Mr. Dozier is survived by his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Dozier, and two brothers, Messrs. Lawrence and Persons Dozier. All were present when the end came. He was a member of the Methodist church and also of the Talbotton lodge, Knights of Pythias.

Obituary-Walter Hugh Drane April 4 1905

Death of Dr. W.H. DraneLast Tuesday evening Dr. W.H. Drane died at his home in Batesville (Mississippi), after an illness that had lasted a long time. For more than a year his health had been so feeble that he hardly ever came out on the street. Tuesday afternoon he went to his room to take a nap, as usual. He stayed inside a long time and members of the family, who looked in to see how he was getting on, saw him apparently asleep. About five o'clock someone went inside the room and touched him, when it was discovered that he had peacefully died. Walter Hugh Drane was born January 8, 1832 in Columbia County, Georgia. He was raised in Talbot County, Georgia, and
graduated at the University Medical School of New York in 1854. He came back to his native state, practiced medicine until the civil war. When the struggle was over he returned to peaceable pursuits, and in 1866 moved to Panola County, Miss.

Aunt Fannie was born in Georgia, was faithful attendant of Dr. Drane in his infancy came to Panola County with him in 1866, and was with those who saw him laid to final rest.

William Holmes Ellison April 2 1908

Death of Col. W.H. EllisonCol. W.H. Ellison died at his home near here on the 2nd inst., after a lingering illness and much suffering. He having sustained a fall while on a visit to Columbus in December. Recently he was carried to St. Joseph's Infirmary in Atlanta for treatment, but to no avail, owing probably to his advanced age, eighty-one. The funeral obsequies were conducted by Rev. Harrison and the interment at Sardis cemetery. Many friends from all parts of the country were there, with tributes of beautiful flowers, for the bier of one they loved and esteemed in life.
Deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs. E.A. Richards, of Macon, and Mrs. G.J. Peacock, of Columbus. Several grandchildren and great-grandchildren and one sister, Miss Sallie Ellison. Col. Ellison's wife preceded him to the grave several years ago. He was a loving father, and devoted brother to his only sister. It was beautiful to see them descend life's hill together; their devotion being deep and tender.
Col. Ellison was a gentleman of the olden type, true courtesy, culture and suavity of manners characterized his whole life. He was a devoted member of
Sardis church, and when the sunset came, after a long and useful life, visions of heaven were revealed to him as he exchanged earth for a home in the celestial city. Thursday, April 9, 1908 Page 3

A TributeThat 'death loves a shining mark' is again verified in the passing away of the noble spirit of Mr. William Holmes Ellison on the morning of April 2nd. Inheriting the retiring modesty of his forefathers, he sought not for himself high, worldly places but found his greatest earthly happiness in the simple discharge of his duty to his God, his family and his fellow man. A good life cannot die. In thoughts, words and deeds it lives on incalculably and 'the good that it may do eternity alone can tell.' In the arch of this well spent life, kindness was the very capstone; in its symphony, unselfishness was the keynote. Richly endowed, spiritually and intellectually, and possessing in a marked degree sound judgment and rare discernment, his influence was felt by all, and the imprint of his life left strongly on those about him. Following in the footsteps of his godly father, he, at an early age united
