Death of Nose M. Holberg.

The community as whole, was
shocked and distressed when the
news, Monday of the sudden death
from heart trouble, of Nose Holberg,
was made known.
For number of years, Mr.. Hol-
berg had been in precarious health
on account of his heart, and his friends
and family were apprehen1ye that
he would have such an attack as came
to him Monday, still when it did come,
as is always the case in such instances
it brought with it distinct shock.
He was seen on the streets of Macon,
greeting his friends in the unfailingly
genial manner that was his, the Fri
day before his death, and seemed to
be in as good physical trim as usual.
No man in this community number
ed more well-wishers and friends than
he, for his was a nature OF most un-
usual geniality and good will-he
bore malice toward none, and malice
was felt toward him by none. He was
a natural Optimst, and spread spir-
it of cheer no matter what the cir
cumstances into which he was thrown.
AS husband, father, citizen and
friend, he was moved by the prompt
ing of the kindliest of hearts.
He was a member of one of the old
est families in this community, being
second son of Mr.. Jake Holberg, one
of the towns old-time and most prom
inent merchants, who yielded place
to none as to integrity and high re-
dpectability among his fellow citi-
Zens.
Nose M. Holberg was born in Ma
con in 1870, and lived his entire life
here. For a number Of years until
declining health forced him out of
confining business, he was proprietor
of the Holberg Meat Market.
He married Miss Mamie Lou Her
man, oldest daughter of Mr.. Henry
Herman, who for number Of years
was resident Of Macon.
He is survived by his wife and six
children, Mrs. Wallace Loren, and
Misses Julia, Mamie Lou. Mable. ard
Gretchen, and Master Jake Holberg,
all Of whom are in Macon. Also his
mother, Mrs. Sue Holberg, who has
been semi-cripple for years, from
the effect of a injury to the hip. and
his brother Mr.. l.. F Holberg proprie-
tor of the Rolberg Hardware, survive
him, and are residents too Of Macon.
The sympathy Of the entire COM
munity goes out to his bereaved tami-
ly in the loss of so kind and loving
husband and father
