Kestle, Richard Keith (Dick)
Jackson Progress-Argus June 15 1972
Wreckage of Plane Found Friday in Monroe County
     The dogged persistence of two local law enforcement officers, Butts County Deputy Sheriff W. L. (Bill) Taylor, Jr. and Jackson Police Chief Watson Vaughn, led to the discovery of the wreckage of a World War II fighter plane and the body of it pilot in a heavily wooded area off Lassiter Road in Monroe County, approximately two miles from the general area that the plane was observed in obvious distress Saturday morning, June 3rd, about 11:30 o'clock.
     The pulverized wreckage of the modified P51 Mustang that carried pilot Richard Keith (Dick) Kestle, 43, of Columbus to his death, was strewn around a crater, gouged out of hard red clay in a heavily wooded area, that was approximately 12 to 15 feet wide and 10 to 12 feet deep. The impact of the plane which nosed down almost perpendicularly, pulled dirt back into the crater, covering portions of the fuselage of the crumpled plane. A heavy foliage of oak and hickory trees had hidden the wreckage from planes of the Civilian Air Patrol that had combed the area since Monday afternoon.
     Monroe County Sheriff L. C. Bittick said that the wreckage was located in northeast Monroe County, approximately 1 � to 2 miles over the Butts County line. Butts County Sheriff Hugh C. Polk said that Chief Watson Vaughn and his wife were driving along Lassiter Road about 2:15 Friday afternoon when Mr. Vaughn spotted a solitary buzzard circling over the area where the plane was soon to be discovered. Chief Vaughn contacted Deputy Bill Taylor on the radio asking him to come join in a search of the heavily wooded terrain. The two men walked between � and 3/4 of a mile across a field and into the woods where the wreckage was located approximately 200 yards deep into the forest.
     The plane evidently crashed almost straight down, clipping two moderate size limbs off a hickory tree. The impact dug the aforementioned crater in the hard earth, bringing instantaneous death to the pilot. The wings were sheared off, scattered in a random pattern among the trees with no single piece of the plane outside the crater being larger than a pillow slip.
     Sheriff Bittick said there was only one body found aboard the modified fighter name "Miss Gatorade Cola." Mr. Bittick said the remains were taken to Dillon Funeral Home in Forsyth.
     Mr. Kestle piloted the plane in 1969 to a second straight victory in the annual Harold's Club Transcontinental Trophy Dash, a 1,667 mile race.
     The Columbus pilot was believed to have attended the Transpo 72 Exhibition in Washington and was enroute home from Dulles International Airport June 3rd when his plane developed trouble over Butts County.
     An Indian Springs State Park employee, Jack McDowell, told law officers and searchers of hearing and seeing a plane flying low over his house Saturday morning and only moments later hearing an explosion when it crashed. The site of the crash was almost directly in line with the area that McDowell predicted that the plane would be found.
     On Sunday afternoon, June 4th, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Torbett of Butts County discovered debris from a plane in their pasture. Among the pieces was portions of a plexiglass canopy that experts now believe blew off striking the plane's trim tab which probably triggered the fatal crash.
     Since Monday afternoon, June 5th, more than 100 volunteers, including Civil Air Patrol (CAP) personnel and Ft. Benning soldiers, have been engaged in the search. Lt. Harry Saunders of the Georgia CAP Wing theorized that the fighter's canopy blew off in flight and damaged the rudder and trim tab.
     Sheriff Bittick said the wreckage was about 3/4 of a mile from the nearest house and about the same distance from a dirt road which wound through the area.
     Mr. Bittick said that there was no indication of a fire at the scene with the plane apparently taking a steep nose dive straight through the trees and exploding.
     Authorities with the CAP and Federal Aviation Authorities sifted through the pieces late Friday and Saturday morning in an effort to pinpoint the cause of the crash. Authorities said up to 15 planes from the Georgia CAP wing and the Alabama CAP were involved in the search at one time. Officials had expanded the search Thursday to include an area in Southeastern Alabama.

In Memoriam.
Sacred to the memory of little Tommie Key,
Whose spirit hath flown far away;
Where pinions have swept across that dark sea,
To the realms of eternal lay.
We love the memory of that bright little boy,
So suddenly taken away;
But he's gone to a world of heavenly joy,
To the realms of eternal day.
Sweet child, now free from al sorrow and pain-
The Savior will kiss you, and may
The God of all ages, smile at the scene
In the realms of eternal day.
Dear mother, grieve not for Tommie, he's gone
High up with the Savior to stay---
Altho' he has left you all sorrowed forlorn.
To enjoy the eternal day.
Dear father submit to the will of our God,
He doeth all things his own way
Whom He leaves He scourages with chastening rod,
To bring them to eternal day.
Sweet Tommie will watch at the window for you
Both mama and papa to come,
He leaves you the promise of God which is true,
He will welcome you travelers home.
A Friend.

He had been confined to his room for a few months from a partial stroke of paralysis, during which time he was visited by hundreds of those who have heard him preach, and it is said that hr preached Christ Jesus the Savior to all of his callers and was greatly used by the Lord on his death bed.

Though the worker has fallen asleep, the work goes on.

The Jackson Argus July 21, 1899
Sketch of His Long and Useful Career.
     The subject of this sketch was born in Oglethorp county, Ga., on January 12, 1814. He professed a hope in the Savior at the age of 17 and joined Antioch Baptist church in Oglethorp county; was baptized by Jack Lumpkin in his 17th year. In his 20th year he was married to Miss Mary P. Lumpkin, which union was blessed with five sons, three of whom survive him. His beloved wife was called home from the cares of earth eleven years ago. In the year 1841 he moved to this county and settled near Jenkinsburg, where he resided until his death, which sad event occurred on June 5, 1899.
     He, with his estimable wife, united with Towaliga church by letter February 5, 1842, and he was licensed to preach Aug. 5, 1845. His true devotion readily made its self seen and felt and his power to preach the gospel was recognized and his ordination was called for by the brethren of Indian Creek church, and he was ordained May 30, 1847. He at once took pastoral charge of Indian Creek church, and served as pastor for one year.
     On November 3, 1855 he was called by Towaliga church as her pastor, and so powerful and effective was his preaching both in and out of the pulpit and so beloved was he by our membership that no change was ever made. He has served as most faithfully for forty-three years. In the annual choice of pastor he succeeded himself in other churches as in this one. He was pastor of Shiloh church, Monroe county, 6 years; Union 28 years; Bethany 18; County Line, Butts County, 12 years; McDonough 11 years; Philadelphia 5 years; County Line, Newton county, 2 years; Paran 2 years; Liberty 3 years; Indian Spring 2 years; Indian Creek 1 year.
     In the Flint River Association of which he was an honored and beloved member his opinions and advice were often sought and as often received and adopted. He was for some years clerk of this organization, and many times he was unanimously chosen moderator of this body which position he filled with wisdom and dignity.
When the churches of Butts county came together in August, 1897, to organize themselves into a new association it seemed to be the spontaneous desire of every one that the new body should be called by his name "The John T. Kimbell Association."
     He protested against it, and agreed that if it was the wish of the body to call it The Kimbell Association which name was adopted.
     Uncle Johnnie Kimbell was looked upon as a model citizen, and while he took no stand in politics he could always be found giving sound and conservative advice on the right side of every question. He made no claims to a high education and attended no theological institution, yet his knowledge of the Bible was deep and thorough and his interpretation of the Scriptures was clear and explicit. He served his denomination and churches with a true love and a faithful devotion, and in the work of the Master was his daily and chief delight; and his services were always in such great demand that it can truly be said of him that he delivered on an average of one sermon a Sunday from the time he was ordained until his death.
     Brother Kimbell preached the Gospel as he understood the Scriptures, and while he was an uncompromising Baptist he was never known to speak harshly of other denominations. Like Paul, he has fought the good fight, he kept the faith, and has received his reward and today he is wearing a crown of glory. Though dead he yet speaketh, and his work in the Masters vineyard in this section of the state will no doubt bear fruit for many years to come. We do not weep for him as for those who have no hope, but it is more of a joy in that he taught so many of us the way of Life and led us in that way and has gone to glory.

A Sad Death
     Our readers will be pained to learn of the death of Mr. F. M. Kinard at his store on Wednesday morning. The coroner, Simon Hardy, was summoned and the jury returned the following verdict:
     "We, the jury, after hearing the evidence under oath, find that Mr. F. M. Kinard the deceased, came to his death from a pistol shot from his own hand. T. F. Bell, foreman; J. G. Colwell, L. B. Carmichael, J. B. Evans, J. M. C. Thaxton, W. A. Mangham."
     There was no evidence as to whether the killing was suicidal or accidental. Mr. Kinard was in easy circumstances and had never hinted his intention if it was suicide. But he had just removed the pistol or was in the act of removing it from under his pillow where it was kept every night, when it fired. Whether he did it on purpose or it was an accident will never be known.

     The news of the death of Mrs. George Kinsman, which occurred Monday morning was heard with profound sorrow by the entire town. While her health had not been good for two years, her death was unexpected and was a heavy blow to her family and friends. She leaves a husband and four little children, besides a loving mother and brother to mourn her loss. The taking away of this Christian wife and mother from the home where she was the light and joy is among the mysterious acts of Providence which are past finding out. To hear her voice, her step, to see her kindly smile no more, makes deep and dense the shadow on this home. May He who owns and loves them brighten this home so sadly bereft. This was a Christian home and her last Sunday at church Mrs. Kinsman saw her three oldest children received into the church. May he who has broken the family circle on earth unite them in heaven. The funeral services were conducted from the residence Monday afternoon, the Rev. R. B. O. England officiating, after which the remains were interred in the city cemetery. The pallbearers were: R. S. Brown, Starr Winn, S. A. Biles, Z. T. Buttrill, A. F. Whitney and A. J. Roberts. With the entire city, The Argus extends heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.

In Memoriam.
     Mrs. Carrie S. Kinsman, daughter of Leroy H. and Mrs. Annie Moore, was born in Butts county, Georgia, on May 2nd, 1868, and departed this life at her home in Jackson, Ga., in the early morning of August 4th, 1902. On September 2nd, 1888, under the ministry of Rev. Miles H. Dillard, she was happily converted, and joined the Methodist church at Jackson, of which she continued a faithful and consistent member to the day of her removal to the Church Triumphant.
     Sister Kinsman was the mother of four children, and surrounded by these little ones, so full of hope and promise, and devoted Christian husband, she was in her home life contented and happy. Here her Christian virtues shone most brightly. Indeed, here was a happy home, because Christ, the true light, was enthroned in the home, and His will was the law of her heart and life.
     For some time before she went away from the happy home life here to find her place in the heavenly home, she talked much of the going, giving every assurance that she was ready and that she was not afraid to go out with the messenger that should come to take her across the river into the sun-bright clime of God's eternal presence.
     She lived well, and died the death of the righteous. A good woman, a good devoted wife, a dutiful, obedient, loving daughter, a sweet spirited, kind, gentle sister, a most tender and affectionate mother has gone to her reward. May the sorrowing ones so live as to meet her again, in the great "crowning day."

     The following account of the tragedy is taken from The Covington News of July 31.
     Mr. Ben L. Kitchens, was burned to death when his oil truck overturned on the highway about four miles east of here Wednesday afternoon. Those who arrived immediately after the accident found the body about fifty feet off the road, where he had apparently been thrown clear of the truck when it exploded.
     The cause of the tragedy could not be ascertained perfectly. The tracks on the pavement showed that the truck swerved, striking a concrete post on the side of the highway and overturned. Mr. Kitchens was thrown clear of the truck, but his clothes was burned off and his face was burned beyond recognition.
     The presence of a wound on the back of his head led some to believe that death had been caused by a blow there instead of by burning.
     Mr. Kitchens had lived in Covington for the past thirty years, moving here from the southern part of the county. He was well known here, and had been connected with oil companies for many years.
     He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. J. P. Hammonds and Miss Miriam Kitchens; three sons, Aldine, Lanier and Laban Kitchens; three sisters, Mrs. T. R. Kitchens, Mrs. G. R, Harper, Mrs. Luther Duke; three brothers, Mr. A. K. Kitchens, Mr. W. D. Kitchens and Mr; Woodie Kitchens.
     The funeral was held from the First Methodist church at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Rev. M. M. Maxwell, assisted by Rev. C. M. Haynes, officiating at the services. Interment followed in the Covington cemetery.

Mother Demented Slays Daughter.
Four year old girl decapitated by mother and the body thrown in river. Awful tragedy.
     News was received in Covington on Tuesday that Mrs. Homer Kitchens, residing near Yellow River, had killed her little daughter, Nellie, aged four years, and cast the body into the river.
     Mr. Kitchens, who was in town at the time, was notified and hurried to the scene of the tragedy.
     The Kitchens' two sons related that about nine o'clock Tuesday morning they saw their mother returning from the river, with her clothing wet and bedraggled.
     On being questioned, she told them that she had been to bury the baby. Some of the neighbors were summoned and a searching party was soon formed and went out in a bateau. The little body was seen floating on the water wrapped in a piece of bagging, which at first looked like a drifting fish basket. On recovery, it was discovered that the head was severed from the body of the child.
     Sheriff B. L. Johnson, Coroner Jack Harwell and Judge J. S. Peek went to the Kitchens home where an inquest was held in the afternoon by Coroner Harwell. The following verdict was rendered:
     "We the jury, find that the child came to her death by the use of a razor in the hands of her mother, Mrs. Laura Kitchens, and pronounce it murder."
     A warrant was sworn out for Mrs. Kitchens, empowering Sheriff Johnson to take her in charge. She was brought to Covington for safe keeping overnight and early Wednesday was carried by Deputy Sheriff Hay to the State Sanitarium at Milledgeville.
     Mrs. Kitchens suffered an illness of influenza several years ago which left her mind seriously impaired. It is said that her ministry and care of the little girl, her only daughter, was the one obsessing thought in her life.
     She has never realized the tragedy, the horror of which is unspeakable.
     The funeral of little Nellie Kitchens took place Wednesday.

     Coming as a severe shock and bringing deep sorrow to hundreds of friends was the death of Miss Pauline Knox, eleven years of age, which occurred shortly after midnight on November 28, at the home of her brother, Prof. R. I. Knox. Miss Knox, who had made her home with Prof. and Mrs. Knox, following the death of an older sister on September 18, complained of not feeling well during Thanksgiving but her condition was not regarded as serious. Shortly after midnight she became suddenly ill and medical assistance was summoned at once but the end came within a few minutes. Death was attributed to heart trouble.
     During her short residence in Jackson Miss Knox had made hosts of friends who were grieved to know of her sudden passing. She was a popular student of the Jackson public schools and a member of the Presbyterian church. Her bright, sunny disposition and her many excellent traits of character won for her many friends. Her loss is an overwhelming blow to members of the family, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow.
     The body was taken to the old home at Readyville, Tenn., Friday night and was accompanied by Prof. Knox and Mr. William Knox. Funeral services were held Saturday at Stone's River Presbyterian church and interment was in the family lot.

A Tribute To Miss Knox From Her School Mates.
     God has plucked another beautiful lily bud. We do not know why it was not allowed to open in full bloom, except that God wanted it now.
     Pauline had been with us only two short months, but she had woven herself into our hearts so deeply with her pleasant, enthusiastic manner. She was so willing and eager to do, so grateful for a kindness, and just bubbling over with life. How sad our hearts are to her vacant seat, to miss her sweet smiling face and not to hear her happy voice and jolly laugh!
     We can recall little sayings and comments of hers which makes us know she was truly a sweet little Christian, and consolation comes to our hearts when we know she is safe in the arms of Jesus.

     Funeral services will be held in Hartwell at 11 o'clock, eastern time, Friday morning. Rev. Julian Warner, pastor of the Jackson Presbyterian church, will assist in the funeral services.
     Prof. Knox had been ill since the past December. His finger became infected and early in January he was taken to Atlanta for treatment. The disease was pronounced blastomycosis, a rare and strange affliction and the first case ever reported in Georgia. In efforts to check the infection the hand was first amputated and later the arm. Prof. Knox was apparently much improved and physicians believed they had succeeded in checking the disease. He returned to his home in Hartwell several weeks ago and encouraging reports were received from his bedside. Recently he took a turn for the worse and for the last few days his condition had been critical.
     Prof. Knox was superintendent of the Jackson public schools from 1922 to 1927, resigning the past spring to accept a position in Hartwell. During his residence in Jackson he built the Jackson school system to a high standard and is conceded to have been one of the best rounded educators ever to serve the school system here. He served as president of the Sixth District High School Association and as vice-president of the Georgia Education Association and was responsible for Butts county teachers enrolling 100 per cent in that body. At the last convention he was elected treasurer of the Georgia Education Association.
     A native of Murfreesboro, Tenn., he was a graduate of the Middle Tennessee State Normal School. He had taught in Georgia for many years and was studying at Mercer University summer school for his master's degree. He had constantly risen in his profession and newer and higher objectives seemed within his grasp when he was struck down.
     He was a member of the Presbyterian church and took an active interest in religious affairs. He was an active member of the Kiwanis club of Jackson during his residence here. He was a good and useful citizen and had thousands of friends over the state who are deeply grieved to learn of his passing.
     He is survived by his wife and three children, Irvin, Frances and Arthur Osborn Knox; three brothers, including Prof. William Knox, who taught several years in Butts county.

     The news of the death of Mrs. George Kinsman, which occurred Monday morning was heard with profound sorrow by the entire town. While her health had not been good for two years, her death was unexpected and was a heavy blow to her family and friends. She leaves a husband and four little children, besides a loving mother and brother to mourn her loss. The taking away of this Christian wife and mother from the home where she was the light and joy is among the mysterious acts of Providence which are past finding out. To hear her voice, her step, to see her kindly smile no more, makes deep and dense the shadow on this home. May He who owns and loves them brighten this home so sadly bereft. This was a Christian home and her last Sunday at church Mrs. Kinsman saw her three oldest children received into the church. May he who has broken the family circle on earth unite them in heaven. The funeral services were conducted from the residence Monday afternoon, the Rev. R. B. O. England officiating, after which the remains were interred in the city cemetery. The pallbearers were: R. S. Brown, Starr Winn, S. A. Biles, Z. T. Buttrill, A. F. Whitney and A. J. Roberts. With the entire city, The Argus extends heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.

In Memoriam.
     Mrs. Carrie S. Kinsman, daughter of Leroy H. and Mrs. Annie Moore, was born in Butts county, Georgia, on May 2nd, 1868, and departed this life at her home in Jackson, Ga., in the early morning of August 4th, 1902. On September 2nd, 1888, under the ministry of Rev. Miles H. Dillard, she was happily converted, and joined the Methodist church at Jackson, of which she continued a faithful and consistent member to the day of her removal to the Church Triumphant.
     Sister Kinsman was the mother of four children, and surrounded by these little ones, so full of hope and promise, and devoted Christian husband, she was in her home life contented and happy. Here her Christian virtues shone most brightly. Indeed, here was a happy home, because Christ, the true light, was enthroned in the home, and His will was the law of her heart and life.
     For some time before she went away from the happy home life here to find her place in the heavenly home, she talked much of the going, giving every assurance that she was ready and that she was not afraid to go out with the messenger that should come to take her across the river into the sun-bright clime of God's eternal presence.
     She lived well, and died the death of the righteous. A good woman, a good devoted wife, a dutiful, obedient, loving daughter, a sweet spirited, kind, gentle sister, a most tender and affectionate mother has gone to her reward. May the sorrowing ones so live as to meet her again, in the great "crowning day."

     Mr. Ben L. Kitchens, was burned to death when his oil truck overturned on the highway about four miles east of here Wednesday afternoon. Those who arrived immediately after the accident found the body about fifty feet off the road, where he had apparently been thrown clear of the truck when it exploded.
     The cause of the tragedy could not be ascertained perfectly. The tracks on the pavement showed that the truck swerved, striking a concrete post on the side of the highway and overturned. Mr. Kitchens was thrown clear of the truck, but his clothes was burned off and his face was burned beyond recognition.
     The presence of a wound on the back of his head led some to believe that death had been caused by a blow there instead of by burning.
     Mr. Kitchens had lived in Covington for the past thirty years, moving here from the southern part of the county. He was well known here, and had been connected with oil companies for many years.
     He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. J. P. Hammonds and Miss Miriam Kitchens; three sons, Aldine, Lanier and Laban Kitchens; three sisters, Mrs. T. R. Kitchens, Mrs. G. R, Harper, Mrs. Luther Duke; three brothers, Mr. A. K. Kitchens, Mr. W. D. Kitchens and Mr; Woodie Kitchens.
     The funeral was held from the First Methodist church at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Rev. M. M. Maxwell, assisted by Rev. C. M. Haynes, officiating at the services. Interment followed in the Covington cemetery.

Mother Demented Slays Daughter.
Four year old girl decapitated by mother and the body thrown in river. Awful tragedy.
     News was received in Covington on Tuesday that Mrs. Homer Kitchens, residing near Yellow River, had killed her little daughter, Nellie, aged four years, and cast the body into the river.
     Mr. Kitchens, who was in town at the time, was notified and hurried to the scene of the tragedy.
     The Kitchens' two sons related that about nine o'clock Tuesday morning they saw their mother returning from the river, with her clothing wet and bedraggled.
     On being questioned, she told them that she had been to bury the baby. Some of the neighbors were summoned and a searching party was soon formed and went out in a bateau. The little body was seen floating on the water wrapped in a piece of bagging, which at first looked like a drifting fish basket. On recovery, it was discovered that the head was severed from the body of the child.
     Sheriff B. L. Johnson, Coroner Jack Harwell and Judge J. S. Peek went to the Kitchens home where an inquest was held in the afternoon by Coroner Harwell. The following verdict was rendered:
     "We the jury, find that the child came to her death by the use of a razor in the hands of her mother, Mrs. Laura Kitchens, and pronounce it murder."
     A warrant was sworn out for Mrs. Kitchens, empowering Sheriff Johnson to take her in charge. She was brought to Covington for safe keeping overnight and early Wednesday was carried by Deputy Sheriff Hay to the State Sanitarium at Milledgeville.
     Mrs. Kitchens suffered an illness of influenza several years ago which left her mind seriously impaired. It is said that her ministry and care of the little girl, her only daughter, was the one obsessing thought in her life.
     She has never realized the tragedy, the horror of which is unspeakable.
     The funeral of little Nellie Kitchens took place Wednesday.

     Coming as a severe shock and bringing deep sorrow to hundreds of friends was the death of Miss Pauline Knox, eleven years of age, which occurred shortly after midnight on November 28, at the home of her brother, Prof. R. I. Knox. Miss Knox, who had made her home with Prof. and Mrs. Knox, following the death of an older sister on September 18, complained of not feeling well during Thanksgiving but her condition was not regarded as serious. Shortly after midnight she became suddenly ill and medical assistance was summoned at once but the end came within a few minutes. Death was attributed to heart trouble.
     During her short residence in Jackson Miss Knox had made hosts of friends who were grieved to know of her sudden passing. She was a popular student of the Jackson public schools and a member of the Presbyterian church. Her bright, sunny disposition and her many excellent traits of character won for her many friends. Her loss is an overwhelming blow to members of the family, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow.

A Tribute To Miss Knox From Her School Mates.
     God has plucked another beautiful lily bud. We do not know why it was not allowed to open in full bloom, except that God wanted it now.
     Pauline had been with us only two short months, but she had woven herself into our hearts so deeply with her pleasant, enthusiastic manner. She was so willing and eager to do, so grateful for a kindness, and just bubbling over with life. How sad our hearts are to her vacant seat, to miss her sweet smiling face and not to hear her happy voice and jolly laugh!
     We can recall little sayings and comments of hers which makes us know she was truly a sweet little Christian, and consolation comes to our hearts when we know she is safe in the arms of Jesus.

     Funeral services will be held in Hartwell at 11 o'clock, eastern time, Friday morning. Rev. Julian Warner, pastor of the Jackson Presbyterian church, will assist in the funeral services.
     Prof. Knox had been ill since the past December. His finger became infected and early in January he was taken to Atlanta for treatment. The disease was pronounced blastomycosis, a rare and strange affliction and the first case ever reported in Georgia. In efforts to check the infection the hand was first amputated and later the arm. Prof. Knox was apparently much improved and physicians believed they had succeeded in checking the disease. He returned to his home in Hartwell several weeks ago and encouraging reports were received from his bedside. Recently he took a turn for the worse and for the last few days his condition had been critical.
     Prof. Knox was superintendent of the Jackson public schools from 1922 to 1927, resigning the past spring to accept a position in Hartwell. During his residence in Jackson he built the Jackson school system to a high standard and is conceded to have been one of the best rounded educators ever to serve the school system here. He served as president of the Sixth District High School Association and as vice-president of the Georgia Education Association and was responsible for Butts county teachers enrolling 100 per cent in that body. At the last convention he was elected treasurer of the Georgia Education Association.
     A native of Murfreesboro, Tenn., he was a graduate of the Middle Tennessee State Normal School. He had taught in Georgia for many years and was studying at Mercer University summer school for his master's degree. He had constantly risen in his profession and newer and higher objectives seemed within his grasp when he was struck down.
     He was a member of the Presbyterian church and took an active interest in religious affairs. He was an active member of the Kiwanis club of Jackson during his residence here. He was a good and useful citizen and had thousands of friends over the state who are deeply grieved to learn of his passing.
     He is survived by his wife and three children, Irvin, Frances and Arthur Osborn Knox; three brothers, including Prof. William Knox, who taught several years in Butts county.
