PRITCHARD, Edward E.--donated by: Ed PFEIFER
71, died March 12, 1908. One of Augusta's oldest and best citizens, Major
Edward E. Pritchard, a prominent and highly esteemed citizen of Augusta, died at his home here, 601
Crawford Avenue. Major Pritchard had been ill for some weeks and for nearly a week past his loved ones and
friends had begun to fear that the end might be expected at any time. Throughout his life he had been a useful
citizen of his native city, state and nation. He was a gallant Confederate veteran and was for many years a
deputy sheriff. He was born in Augusta, GA on September 25, 1837. He was for many years connected
with the old Augusta Constitutionalist. He entered the services of the Confederacy April 13, 1861, as
sergeant in the Washington Artillery. He took part in the battles of Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga,
Atlanta and other battles. He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant in April, 1862 and was made Captain of Artillery
in September, 1862 then was given the rank of Major before the close of the war. His body will be laid to rest
wrapped in the folds of his old battle flag. Major Pritchard married Caroline E., the daughter of the late John
A. Bohler. The wife and the following children survive their union: Mrs. W. W. Thompson, of Augusta,
Miss Sarah C. Pritchard, of Augusta, Mrs. Wm. S. Perkins, of Savannah, Miss Elizabeth Pritchard, of
Augusta, Mr. Chas. F. Pritchard, of Augusta, Mrs. Ollie R. Murrah, of Augusta, and Mr. John B.
Pritchard, of Augusta. Two sisters also survive him, Mrs. A. J. Adkins, of Atlanta, and Mrs. James
Hughes, of Augusta and other relatives. The funeral services took place March 13, 1908 at 3:30 p.m.
from the Sacred Heart church. Interment was in Summerville Cemetery.

PRITCHARD--DEATH OF WILLIAM H., ESQ.--donated by: Ed PFEIFER
From the Augusta Constitutionalist, 26 March 1862
A telegraphic dispatch, dated Richmond, March 25th, from Mr. G. E. W. Nelson formerly connected with
this office, was received by us yesterday morning, announcing the painful intelligence that Mr. Wm. H.
Pritchard died in that city at 12 o'clock on Monday night last after an illness of three or four days duration.

This intelligence, painful in itself, was doubly so in the suddenness with which it came upon an affectionate
family and a large circle of sympathizing friends. It was but little more than a week ago that he had passed
through our city, on his way to and from the editorial convention at Atlanta, whither he had gone as a
representative of the Southern Telegraphic Company, and if necessary, to give an account of his stewardship
as general telegraphic news agent for the Southern press.

It was then a subject of remark among some of among some of his friends that he had apparently improved
in health and he was himself looking forward with pleasure to the summer months, when he could return to
his home and enjoy some rest from the labors of his arduous and mind-taxing profession. Alas! how vain
are the expectations of men -- how transitory are the things of earth. The hand that was so lately grasped
in life and friendship is now palsied in death -- the voice which was wont to speak in cheerful accents is
now hushed forever -- the kind spirit of a friend who was loved and respected by all who knew him has
passed away from earth. Verily, a good man has fallen.

Mr. Pritchard was a native of South Carolina and was about 50 years of age at the time of his death.

He was a printer by trade and was for many years connected with the press of the South. He was about
1850, Foreman of the Southern Republic office, in this city, then published by James M. Smythe, Esq.; this
office he filled up to the time when that journal was united with the Constitutionalist office, when he entered
into other business pursuits.

In 1852, he was employed to take the census of the city of Augusta and he discharged that duty with a
zeal and ability highly commendable.

On the 1st of October 1855, he assumed the duties of News and Commercial Editor of the Constitutionalist
-- that position having been vacated by Mr. Samuel Thompson, on account of impaired health. This office,
Mr. Pritchard filled with marked and signal ability, until June 1861, when he left the office to fill the
important position of General Telegraphic News Agent for the Southern Press. The duties thus required
of him were arduous and difficult, in consequence of the troublous times in which the country is involved,
requiring him to travel from point to in order to perfect his telegraphic arrangements and use greater
exertions than were formerly required to obtain much news as could be transmitted over the wires. He
had, perhaps, more experience in this business than any man in the Southern Confederacy, having been
for some years -- from 1857 to 1861, we believe -- the Southern Agent of the New York Associated Press
-- as well as from his long connection with the journalism of the country. His energy, his determination,
his knowledge of contemporary as well as of past events, rendered him eminently fit for the business in
which he was engaged.

As Editor of the Constitutionalist, he, no doubt, added much to the interest and value of the paper, by
the zeal with which he discharged his duties and by his great experience in the newspaper publishing business.

As telegraphic new agent, his energy, his quickness of perceptions, and his strong powers of analysis
and condensation well qualified him for that position.

As a father, he was kind and affectionate; as a master, just and considerate; as a friend, earnest and sincere.
As a politician, he was devoted to the interests of his party; and as a patriot to the service of his country. In
whatever business he engaged, he lent all his energy, all his talent, all his industry to its performance. His
long and useful life has at length been closed in death. He has left a large and sorrowing family, and hosts
of sympathizing friend to mourn his loss. His virtues were many -- his faults -- they will be blotted out by
the tears of sympathy which will water his tomb. Peace to his ashes. Honor to his memory.
