In Memory of VIM. N. Thornton, Late
Sheriff of Terrell County. Ga.

Sheriff of Terrell County, Ga
The subject of this memorial
was born in Randolph county,
Ga., Feb. 9th, 1852. His father
was Capt. Singleton A. Thornton,
OF that county, who has been dead
for number of years.
William n, in his early man
hood, settled in Dawson, where he
resided until his death. He en-
loyed excellent health until few
weeks ago, when he was attacked
with typhoid fever. From Sep
tember 11th, until about the first
of October, though his suffering
was considerable, his condition
was hopeful. For the last few
days, he was greatly distressed
with congestion of the stomach
and bowels. On the 9th Of Octo-
Der he expired.
His latest days were remarka-
bic, for the fact that realizing the
nearness Of death and suffering
many extreme pangs, hs seemed
little emaciaNed and retained his
strenth in an uncommon degree.
His mind was clear and active to
the last, and his composure never
failed him. When first informed
of the fatal result, anticipated by
his physicians, though surprised
to find death so near at hand, he
was not overwhelmed. Immedi-
ately he directed his attention,
with remarkable coolness, accura.
cy and method, to the arrange
ment of his worldly affairs. He
seemed to forget nothing of his
business, which he owed to others,
or which could provide the best
condition of things for the below
ed family, whom he was about to
leave.
Mr.. Thornton was man Of ac-
tive and elastic person, handsome
face and winning address. His
natural disposition was frank,
brave and friendly; quick in sym
pathy and ready in liberality. As
a friend, he was to be warmly
loved, and firmly trusted A ten.
der and devoted husband and fa-
ther, his loss to his family cannot
be repaired. AS citizen, he was
upright, law-a9iding, public spir-
tied and patriotic. For several
terms he had fillel the Office of
Sheriff of Terrell county in q
manner to raise the character of
the Office itself. Indeed, in his
official conduct, and especially in
his. administration about the
courthouse, he displayed prompt
ness, activity. intelligence and
faithfulness which we have never
sean excelled.
For years he was q member of
the Dawson Baptist Church. In
his last illneFs, looking death in
the face, while he saw much to
regret i'll the imperfection of his
Christian life, he showed no fear,
but calmly and trustingly he
yielded up his soul to the God
who gave and the Savior who re-
deemed it.
While his bereaved wife and
children mourn loss which this
world cannot repair; while Daw-
son and Terrell county lament a
valued and honest cirizen and Off
Ger, and many personal friends
grieve over his grave, We joyfully
trust that, through the mercies of
God in Christ, it is all well with
his departed spirit.
