GRANDFATHER OF MRS. HAL
LAMBDIN PASSES AWAY

From the Savannah Morning News.
One of the oldest and bestowed
ministers in the South Georgia con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, the Rev. John B. McGhee
D. D., died at Talbotton Sunday night
His record was one which has rare
ly been equalled, for he had served
his church actively for period of 61
years. He was superannuated two
years ago when he became too feeble
to longer continue a career which for
two generations had placed him as
one of the most distinguished clergy
men of the state.
DR.. McGehce was born in Houston
county in 1881 and was educated at
Franklin College. He very quickly
took a prominent place in Georgia
Methodism and filled the most impor-
tant paStorates at Atlanta, Macon,
Fort Valley, Augusta, Cuthbert and
IhomaSville. He was an educator
as we'll as minister and was one of
the founders of Andrews Female Col
lege in Cuthbert, serving as president
of the institution for three years be-
for the Civil War.
DR.. McGehee was the oldest minis
ter in the South Georgia conference
and probably served longer than any
other man in Southern Methodism.
He was for 80 years a presiding elder
havGg served in this district, and
many of the older families of Savan-
nah remember him when he made his
home here Is years ago He was a
trustee of Emory College and interest
ed himself not only in religious and
educational work, but in all political
movements as well. For more than
decade he used his influence in pro-
noting the cause of prohibition.
DR.. McGehee's family survive him,
his widow and his childrn, Z H. Nc
Gehee and Mrs. Fannie Rawls, of Tai
bottom, w. N. McGehee of Washing
otn, D. c., Mrs. Mamie Dickson, of
West Point, and Mrs. Lilli, of Quit

GIVING THE BOYS A CHANCE

Editor John Herring says the rea-

get off occasionally and give the

has lot of work and responsibility,
but the editor OF the Observer has
such job himself, and he finds some
times when he slips away :hat things
