DEATH CALLS
MR. PLOWMAN
______


WELL KNOWN DALLAS ATTORNEY
SUCCUMBS TO SEVERE ATTACK
OF PNEUMONIA.

Weakened by an attack of rheumatism, from which he suffered for some time, George H. Plowman, well known lawyer of Dallas, and a resident of the city for nearly forty years, was unable to stand a severe attack of pneumonia, which developed only last Saturday a week ago, and yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, he quietly passed away at the family home on San Jacinto street. To add to the sadness of the death, Mrs. Plowman is also ill with an attack of pneumonia. It was stated last night, however, that she was bearing up well under the shock, and as her illness was not so aggravated, it is not believed that her condition is serious.

Funeral Monday Morning.
Funeral services for Mr. Plowman will be held at 10:30 o'clock Monday morning at the First Presbyterian church and Rev. W. M. Anderson will conduct the services. Interment will be made in the Greenwood cemetery. Active pallbearers will be O. C. Youngblood, Judge W. J. J. Smith, Judge J. C. Muse, John Leachman, John W. Young and D. Frank Carden.
Honorary--Captain Sydney Smith, Col. W. C. Holland, Col. J. B. Adoue, Capt. C. F. Carter, Col. W. L. Crawford, C. A. Robinson, Judge Curtis P. Smith, John Hamilton, W. A. Metcalf, Judge W. H. Clark and Huber W. Adams.

Native of Alabama.
Mr. Plowman was born at Taladega, Alabama, fifty-seven years ago. He was the youngest son of George P. Plowman, a well known resident of Alabama. His mother was formerly Miss Agatha Scales, who also came from an old family of Alabama. His first wife was Miss Laura Worth McClellan, daughter of General William B. McClellan. She died in this city in March, 1896. His second wife was Miss Estelle Hunt, daughter of the late Judge Hunt, who was a prominent member of the Dallas Bar. Surviving him by his first wife are three children, M. M. Plowman, who is an attorney and member of the Dallas Bar, Miss Daisy Plowman and Harding Plowman.

Came to Dallas in 1874.
Mr. Plowman was a graduate of the University of Alabama, and later, of Harvard, where he made high average, especially in the law department, which he had chosen for his life profession. He moved to Dallas in 1874 and shortly afterwards, became a law partner of the late Judge Alexander White.
Mr. Plowman was one of the most successful practitioners at the local bar, and enjoyed a very lucrative practice during his career. By many lawyers, he was regarded as one of the foremost attorneys of the Texas Bar and died amidst a busy career-actively engaged at work until a week ago yesterday, when he was stricken with the fatal attack of pneumonia.
