MIR, j. Il. WALLER PASSED
AWAY THURSDAY NIGHT
A Well known Citizen Dies at His
Home in Twelfth District.

Mr.. J. f. Waller died at his home
in the Twelfth district Thursday
night from gangrene poisoning. Sew
eral days before his death doctors de-
cided that his only chance of life was
the amputation of his affected leg,
and that this was only small
chance. Mr.. Waller would not give
his consent to the operation, and it
was not done. The gangrene was
caused by a poisoned blood vessel.
Mr.. Waller was the only child of
Pellius A. Waller, who refugeed from

break of the war between the states,
and comes from an old English FAM
lily whose first forefathers came over
to this country with the lord propri-
etors and settled in South Carolina,
Mr.. Waller was in early life edu-
Gated for a lawyer, receiving diplo-
ma from the University of GeOr-
gia as an honor graduate. But
instead of the legal profession he
chose the quiet life of a farmer and
miller, and devoted his time to these
avocations. Although he chose the
quietude of a country life he kept
posted on all public questions, and
was always well informed. He saw
active service in the Confederate
army.
He taught in the public schools for
years and served many years as sur
veyor of Terrell county.
He was a man of genial disposition
and had a great many friends in the
county At the time of his death Mr.
Waller was IS years old. He is sur
vived by his wife and four daugh-
tiers, Mesdames w. C. AmmOns, j. T.
Elder, w. P. McCarty, Fred Foster
and Mr.. John E. Waller.
The remains, were inferred in the
cemetery at Enterprise church, Revs.
