DEATH OF MR. HOMER BURTON
Mr. Homer Burton, only son of Capt. Robt. Burton, died in Americus Saturday
from the effects of a stroke of paralysis received two weeks ago. The
remains
were brought to Ellaville on the afternoon train Sunday, and followed to the
grave by a large number of boyhood friends of the deceased. Rev. G.P.
Pournelle conducted the short funeral service and his touching remarks made
a
deep impression on all present. Mr. Burton was an ex-confederate soldier,
and
was about 45 years of age. He was born in Ellaville, and the greater part
of
his life was spent in the community.



Additional Comments:
Homer Burton served as company musician in Co. G, 5th Ga. Inf., which his
father commanded for a time. He was later postmaster for Ellaville.
