OGLETHORPE CHOSE
TO DIE IN BRITAIN
Georgia Founder Sought to
Spend Last Half of His Life
There, Records Show.
By the Associated Press

| By the Associated Press
LONDON. October 16-Gen. James
E. Oglethorpe, who planted the ban
ner of freedom, prohibition and anti
slavery in Georgia, found America a
pleasant and healthful place in which
to live, according to the records in
the old parish church at Cranham,
where he was inferred.
But it is clear from these same
records that the general believed
England a better place to die in, for
1t is recorded on the walls of the
church in which DR.. ThornweIl ia
cobs has just dug up the generals
bones for removal to Georgia that
Oglethorpe. sought to spend the latter
half of his life in England, dying
at the age of 102.
Local historians attribute his lon
gevity to the abstetmious habits he
acquired in America and to his frugal,
quiet life in the most sequestered part
of England. At the age of sixty-two
after his return from America, it is
recorded that the general took to
throughout his life and outlived him
by two years.
Tribute to Temperance.
A modest tablet on the wall of the
church in which he was married and
buried relates in quaint English how
"he lived until the first of July, 1775,
a venerable instance to what a full
ness of duration and of continued
usefulness a life of temperance and
virtuous labor is capable of being
protracted."
After 'narrating how his "disconso-
late widow" died in her 18th year.
the tablet recalls that Oglethorpe, as
chairman of the British parliament
ary committee in 1892, found a truly
suitable employment for his talents
by visiting with> his colleagues the
dark and pestilential dungeons of the
dishonored the metropolis, detecting
the most enormous expressions, OBJ
tanning exemplary punishment of
those who had been guilty of such
an outrage against humanity and JUS
tice, and restoring multitudes from
the extremes of misery to light and
freedom"
Inmates Come to u. s.
Of these prison inmates, who We're
thus liberated, the tablet says:
About 700, rendered by long con-
finement for debts. strangers and
and desirous of seeking an asylum in
the wilds of America. were by Ogle-
thorpe conducted thither in 1892, and
there encountered in their behalf, a
variety Of fatigue and danger, and
thus became founder of the colony
of Georgia, a colony. which. founded
on the ardent wish for liberty. set an
example of prohibiting the importa-
ton of slaves"
