OBITUARY: GEORGE BILBO DIES OF HEART FAILURE

"Apparently in the best of health and with no premonition of approaching death, George W. Bilbo, brother of Theo G. Bilbo, was found dead in his bed at Ottie Page home early Tuesday morning when Mr. Page stepped into his room to summon him to breakfast after his failure to appear caused the family uneasiness. Mr. Bilbo was about fifty years old and has been a resident of Pearl Rive County practically all his life."

"Mr. Bilbo returned from the funeral service of the late J. B. Newton and did not complain of any illness but sat up reading until 10 or 11 o'clock when he retired. Death visited him sometime in the night it is thought and he died apparently without struggle."

"For a number of years Mr. Bilbo was interested in sawmill work and constructions over the southern part of Mississippi. In that capacity he became well known among other leaders in the sawmill business, and some of his closest and most intimate friends are in the lumber and sawmill business today. Several years ago he became affliliated with one of the largest insurance companies of the country and for past years has devoted his time and energy to that field."

"Mr. Bilbo is survived by one sister and *five brothers, but has no other immediate relatives. He married a number of years ago but was later separated from his wife, who afterwards, it is understood, married again. They had no children, it is stated."

* George was actually survived by six brothers.
