MR. WOODALL DEAD
MR. J. Dan Woodall, one of the best known citizens of this vicinity, died at his home near the city Thursday last evening last, after an illness lasting for some weeks. It was known that his condition had been serious for days and his death was not a surprise to the people of the community, who had kept themselves informed as to his condition. Mr. Woodall was fifty eight years old and moved to Barnesville from Talbot County, GA; where he was reared.
Mr. Woodall, like most men, had his peculiarities, but he was a man who was always contending for the right as he saw it. He was even regarded as extreme by some in this particular and many of his views were novel. He attained some reputation as a writer on agricultural subjects and some years ago won an important prize in a contest conducted by the Atlanta Constitution. He wrote numerous poems, a number of them of real merit.
For years Mr. Woodall has been a familiar figure before the people of Barnesville, where he frequently, almost daily, went from home to home selling farm products, from which he realized a competency and from which he reared a large family.
The funeral was conducted at the home by his pastor, Rev. W. T. Hamby, assisted by Dr. H. S. Yearger. Mr. Woodall was an earnest and sincere Christian and a worthy gentleman and citizen. The burial took palace in the Greenwood Cemetery. A wife and a number of sons and daughters are left in sorrow, to all of whom the people extend deepest sympathy.
