RAWLINS, Hon. Nicholas The Times-Journal, Eastman, GA Friday, May 9, 1890 COLD IN DEATH. The Brittle Thread Snapped and the Soul Took Its Flight. Hon. Nicholas Rawlins is dead. After a long and painful illness he passed away from this life last Thursday evening, and was buried on the following day, in the Rawlins private burying grounds, in the presence of a large concourse of mourning, sympathizing friends. Mr. Rawlins was sixty-six years of age, and had, at different time, filled well and acceptably, many positions of trust and honor. He was elected in 1858, Tax Collector of Pulaski County , and was afterwards elected Sheriff of the same county. In 1870-71, and also in 1880-81, he served Dodge County ably as a Representative in the Georgia Legislature, and to him our farmers, and the friends of the Alliance, are indebted for many advantages and privileges they enjoy; but for his untiring efforts and zeal, they never would have existed. In the death of Mr. Rawlins, Dodge County has lost one of her noblest defenders. For more than a half century (for he was born and raised in Dodge County) he has espoused the cause of our grand old county, and never, until his tongue became paralyzed in death, did he fail to speak her praised.---Dodge County to him, was a theme of which he never tired. Being ever genial and whole souled, and an enthusiastic and zealous worker for the interest of the farmers, he numbered his family by scores, and many a mourner met around his grave last Friday evening, to pay their last respects to his memory. To the widow and fatherless children, who ha ve thus been bereaved of husband and father, the Times-Journal extends its heartfelt sympathy. A shadow has been thrown over that once happy household, that time only can remove. Submitted by Sheila Rawlins |
