Sudden Death Of Col. G. Powell.

The people OF Knoxville when going
to church last Sunday morning were
shocked at the information that Col
Columbus Powell, one Of the best
known citizens CT this city, had died
suddenly of heart disease. Col. Pow.
ell on account Of his tall and well
built form, was a notable figure upon
our streets, and as he had the appear
ance of excellent health, the announce
ment of his sudden death was cause
OF surprise and sorrow.
The deceased was one Of the most
public spirited of our citizens. He
was connected with numerous enter
prises Of a public character and has
done much for the prosperity of the
city.
He was one of the early proprietors
OF the K. & o. railroad and had faith
in that enterprise when many of his
friends thought there was no hope for
it's success He held on to his faith
in the road until it became one of the
great feeders of this section OF this
state. Col Powell was secretary and
treasurer Of the East Tennessee and
Island Home Insurance companies
and was stockholder in many of the
leading enterprises that has made
Knoxville what it is to-day.-Sentiuel.
Col. Powell is we'll known in John
son City, having large interests in the
Johnson City Real Estate Co., and his
death is universally regretted by our
citizens.
