Death of Mr.. G. X. Mltchum.

Mr. George X Mitchum. one Of
Wllliamsburg's oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens, passed
away at his home in electromagnetic
section Sunday night. Mr. Mitchum
had been in failing health for some
time past and had almost lost his
eyesight. He is survived by his
wife and seven grown sons and one
daughter, who are: Messrs Sylvester,
Benjamin, Burton, Roland, Thomas,
Walter and John Mitchum and Mrs
Lizzie Smith, all of this county.
Mr. Mitchum was a Confederate
veteran, having served throughout
the Civil war as a member of the
artillery corps. About three weeks
ago he was stricken to his bed with
grip and, owing to his advanced age
his system failed to respond, to
treatment. He grew gradually
worse until he passed away peace
fully Sunday night.
His remains were inferred Mon
day afternoon in the Cantley ceme-
terry of the Baptist church, in which
faith Mr. Mitchum lived and died.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev w E Hurt.
Our Benson correspondent is right
when he says that those who knew
Mr. Mitchum were saddened by the
news of his death. The writer was
one of those who knew him we'll for
many years. and we always loved to
be in the company of Uncle"
George, as panacea for low
spirits or the blues.
Mr. Mitchum was one of the most
popular men in the county and it is
hard to realize that we shall not see
him again. He was gifted with a
keen and characteristic humor and
always greeted one with CHEEKY
word of welcome. He had hosts of
friends and few, if any, enemies.
In business affairs MIR Mitchum
was just and honorable in his deal
ings with his fellow.man. He was a
true, patriotic son of old Williams
burg, one who did his duty as he saw
it in every exigency that arose.
We feel keen sense of personal
loss in the death of our kind old
friend and erstwhile neighbor. May
the sod rest lightly DER his grave.
