Cairo Messenger, December 1, 1905
Mr. J. I. Gandy died suddenly at his home near Cairo last Saturday afternoon. He had been ill for several weeks but his sudden death was not suspected. Mr. Gandy was near seventy years of age and had lived consistently the life of an upright and honorable citizen, always doing the best he could for his community and manifesting the highest interest in the welfare of his county and state. The latter part of his life was spent in this community and all who knew him regarded him with the utmost respect.
Jared grew up on a farm in rural Thomas County,GA. He married about 1859 to Mary Magdelene Rosencrantz daughter of Jacob Anthony Rosencrantz, an immigrant from Zurich, Switzerland. May 15, 1862 just shortly before the birth of their second child Jarrett enlisted at Savannah, Chatham County GA as a Private in the 50th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company E, "Thomas County Rangers", Confederate States Army. Two months later July 17, 1862, Major General John C. Pemberton sent the 50th Georgia Volunteers to Richmond to join the Army of Northern Virginia under its commanding general, Robert E. Lee.

He was again hospitalized September 30, 1862 in Winder hospital then transferred on October 9, 1862, to Petersburg, Virginia, where he was diagnosed as having typhoid, presumably from drinking bad water. He was released from the hospital on November 14 1862. Jarrett fought at Gettysburg and several other engagements. He was appointed 2nd Corporal February 1864. Hospitalized again between September and December 1864 in Lynchburg, VA and returned to duty before the end of February 1865. Captured at Farmville, VA 6 April 1865. Three days later, April 9, 1865 Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House. The rest of the regiment was captured four days later on April 13, 1865 at Lynchburg, VA. Most of the regiment spent a little over 2 months in the POW camp at Point Lookout, MD. Jared was released at Newport News, VA June 25, 1865. After the war he returned to his home and family in Thomas County, GA where he and his wife had 6 more children. Issue: 8 children.
