Middle Ga. Argus – Week of February 12, 1884
A. C. Bickers

A deep shadow of gloom has been thrown over our town this week caused by the
death of one of our prominent citizens: Mr. A. T. Bickers. His death was a
greater shock to our citizens than it would have been had he been confined to
his bed or several days; but no one apprehended the fatal results many hours
before it occurred, as he only took to his bed Friday and died Tuesday night
with Pneumonia. So short was his term of suffering, his features did not look
the least ematiated after dissolution. It looked more like burying a liver
being as we looked upon his familiar form lying cold in death. Although 67
winters had passed over him, he retained almost the full vigor of manhood. He
had just entered into a prosperous and paying business at this place, and no
citizen in the new town had more faith in the future of the place. He was a
member of the Missionary Church, and his membership with Bethel church in
Jasper County. The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of all our
citizens in this sad bereavement. We would admonish the bereaved ones to so
live as to meet him.
