Carol Homer Gray
Resolutions of Respect
University of Georgia
Athens, Ga., January 12, 1897
Editor Jackson Argus:
Dear Sir,
We respectfully request you to publish these resolutions:
Whereas it has pleased God in His wisdom to remove from our midst Carl Homer Gray, one of the brightest and most honored of our number and to deprive us of the companionship of one who commanded the love and respect, not only of his classmates, but also of the entire student body, be it resolved.
1st. That by his untimely death his class has sustained the irreparable loss of one who was the peer of any of his classmates on the field, on the rostrum and in the class room.
2nd. That we individually have lost an esteemed fiend, the University a loyal and devoted student, and the State one who posses such principles that, at his maturity, we have made him a useful and an honored citizen.
3rd. That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and assure them that their loss is shared by his classmates, friends and the entire college, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the afflicted family, to the Jackson Argus, to the Red and Black and to the Georgian.
Very respectfully,

H. H. White, J. A. Davis, Jr., C. A. Weddington, C. Westbrooks, C. H. Black, Committee from Jr. Class

Miss Clyde Gray
It is with much sadness that we record the death of Miss Clyde Gray which occurred at her fathers home Monday afternoon. A bright life has been taken from among us. Hers was a life of sunshine and happiness spreading its sweet influence upon all who came in touch with its beauties.
How sad it is to lose from the home a young life budding and blossoming into that exalted sphere of womanhood which renders it glorious and sublime. Her life is familiar to all of us.
Ambitious and brave to attain that usefulness and influence which makes the world brighter and better. Her life thought short was a success. Though she will no longer walk among us, her earthly life has just begun to bloom in to immortal splendor in that realm of eternal bliss beyond the pearly gates. It has been transplanted into a fairer clime where God and his angels can watch with tenderest care its growth into the beauties of that happy spirit land.

Frank Greer
Frank Greer of Flovilla died this morning after a short illness. (Jackson Argus - Week of September 13, 1895)

�����������������������������������

The funeral of Mr. Frank Greer, an old citizen of our town, last Saturday at Sandy Creek, was a sad occasion. A large concourse of relatives and friends paid their last tribute of respect to his memory. He was a kind hearted, generous friend, a devoted father and gentle, loving husband. His face will be sadly missed in our midst. It is hard for us to realize that his familiar figure will be seen by us no more. Frank had a host of friends all over Butts county and it was with sorrowing hearts that they laid his body in the tomb. The bereaved family have our deepest sympathies this their hour of sore affliction. We trust his spirit is at rest. (Jackson Argus - Week of September 20, 1895)

Mr. Jason Gresham - KILLED BY A CONVICT
On Thursday of last week Mr. Jason Gresham who was guarding some convicts for T. W. Manley & Son in Spalding county was killed by one of the same. Mr. Gresham and four Negro convicts under his charge in a new ground cutting timber. At the time he was killed he was sitting on a log with his gun between his knees and his pistol in his hands. He ordered the Negroes to cut a tree which stood within a few feet of where he was and as they approached him, one of them, named Oscar Carmichael, who was convicted in the recent term of Henry County Superior court for attempt to murder saw that the guard�s eye was not on him struck him a terrible blow on the head which killed him instantly. Not satisfied with this, he struck him again crushing the skull. He then severed his head from his body, with the exception of a small piece of skin. He asked his brother convicts to help him conceal the body, which they refused to do. He then took Mr. Greham�s gun, pistol, watch and pocketbook and forcing the other Negroes to go with him a short distance fled, while the others returned and gave the alarm. In a short while the whole community was on the lookout for the black fiend but he made good his escape, and at last accounts was still at large. We learn that a thousand dollar reward has been offered for his arrest, which no doubt will get him, and a hanging will be the sure and quick result. Mr. Gresham was a noble young man. Well known to many of our readers. (Middle Ga Argus � November 27, 1888)
