J. W. Landrum Succumbs Here at Age of 92
Often Recalled Visiting Atlanta When City Had Only One Store
J. W. Landrum, 92, who often recalled having visited Atlanta when
the city boasted of only one store, died yesterday at the home
of his son, T. C. Landrum, 848 Hollywood Road.
Landrum, born in Fayette county, was looking forward to his 93rd
birthday anniversary which he planned to celebrate May 11, when
stricken ill more than a week ago.
He spent his young manhood in Fayette, Paulding and Douglas county,
and frequently told of having visited Atlanta as a little boy
and how he noted its growth from year to year as he returned on
other visits.
For the past 25 years, after retiring from the contracting business,
he had made his home with his only son.
Other survivors are three daughters, Mrs. W. C. Standridge, Mrs.
L. G. Pilgrim and Mrs. J. W. McKelvey. He is also survived by
10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Union
Grove Baptist church near Lithia Springs, and burial will be in
the churchyard.
