Deaths and Funerals

LAMAR
The funeral of the late Henry J. Lamar was held yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock from the residence, No. 430 Vineville avenue, Rev. J. A. Smith of
the Vinieville Methodist Church officiating.

The following citizens were the pallbearers: Cooper D. Winn, A. D.
Schofield, B. E. Willigham, T. A. Cheatham, Emmett Barnes, Joseph R.
Riley, W. G. Solomon, and J. G. Burcjhardt, of Atlanta.

Interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery.

The following tribute to Mr. Lamar was written by a friend:
Yesterday afternoon when the shadows of the trees were lengthening and the
birds in the darkening river woods were calling good-night, not far from
the ever-moving river, that emblem of a measureless eternity, they laid
him in that "low green tent, whose curtain never outward swings." The
fairest of summer flowers were laid on the new-made mound where the body
of Henry J. Lamar was placed.

With the passing of the soul of this quiet unassuming gentleman, another
noble and generous spirit has gone to join the myriads who have lived and
moved and had their being on the ever-shifting stage of life, when sleep,
shaken off, and death, itself is gazed upon in all its majesty and mystery.

The quiet of home, the companionship of books and friends, the pleasures
of wood and stream were the things that made up the life of this golden-
hearted man. Possessed of a brilliant mind, which had been well-stored
with unlimited information on the events of the day, with a shrewd and
divining knowledge of affairs, Mr. Lamar conducted his large business
interests with rare executive ability and unerring judgement. Rarely
leaving home he was cognizant of and keely in touch with all things that
pertained in the welfare of his friends and town, and took an active
interest in all that was for the public good. Ever wuick and willing to
respond most liberally to every call for aid among the poor and
unfortunate, there are many hearts that will grieve for and miss him, for
his generosity was marked with that noble quality that proudly conceals
from the world the good deeds that are inspired by the desire to let his
charity go unknown except to the giver and receiver. Generous and
sympathetic to a degree, he was a devoted brother and friend, and will be
sorely missed and mourned.

FLAHIVE
Mr. Jerry J. Flahive, a well known and highly respected citizen of this
city, died yesterday morning at an early hour on board the steamer
Nacouchee, while enroute to Boston. Mr. Flahive left Wednesday night with
his wife and four sons for his summer vacation, and the news of his death,
which was told in a wireless message to Mr. Ed Devlin, of this city
yesterday, will be received with great sorrow by his many friends in Macon.

Mr. Flahive is survived by his wife, Mrs. Maggie, and four sons, John,
Joseph, Edward and Hugh Flahive, also a mother in Ireland, and two sisters
and five brothers, who are Mrs. Andy Devlin, of Macon; Mrs. John O'Brien,
Messrs. John, Patrick, Michael and Thomas, Of Boston, and Mourice Flahive,
of the old country.

Mr. Flahive was a devoted member of St. Joseph's Catholic church, from
which place the funeral will occur, the hour to be announced later.

TRIBBLE
The funeral of Paul E., the little son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Tribble, was
held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family residence, No. 1062
Oglethorps street. Rev. Clyde Turner officiated and the interment was
made in Evergreen Cemetery. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the
community in this the most sorrowful moment of their lives.

ROLAND
Little Homer, aged 10 months, died at the residence of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Roland, yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The little son
was the only child of its parents, and will be sadly missed by its little
playmates, as well as its fond parents. Short funeral services will be
held from the family residence this (Tuesday) morning at 10 o'clock. Rev.
Mr. Smith, of the Mabel White Memorial Chapel, will officiate, and the
interment will be made in Evergreen Cemetery...
