Death of Capt. T.H. Frierson
Capt. Thomas H. Frierson, one of the most prominent citizens of this place died at his home Tuesday night, March 5th at 11 o’clock. Several months ago Capt. Frierson had a stroke of apoplexy but had seemingly recovered from this attack when a few days ago he had a similar attack, and from this he rallied only for short intervals.
He was born at Athens, Ga., July 1841, where his two sisters, Misses Sarah and Mary Ann Frierson, reside, the former of whom has been librarian of the University of Georgia for many years. Both of his sisters were at his bedside at the time of his death. He leaves an interesting family and is survived by his wife, two sisters, four brothers and several grown up children. His children are: Mrs. James Hall of Macon; Mrs. H.P. Wallace and Mrs. Lucile Bateman of Butler and Messrs. Robert, Herbert and Flem Frierson.
Capt. Frierson went to the front in the Civil War with the Athens Guards, afterwards Company K of the Third Georgia regiment, which company he served as Captain and besides the part he took in many sanguinary battles, fought with gallant distinction at Gettysburg, in which great battle all of his company were killed except three.
He came to Butler about thirty-three years ago where he has since resided, during which time he has held many positions of trust and honor. He was for years cashier of the Bank of Butler. Many years ago he was tax receiver of this county, and was Mayor of Butler for more than one term. He was a Mason and a Knight of Honor.
He was buried here at 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Capt. Frierson had many friends and a wide acquaintance throughout the State. As an attestation of his popularity, almost the entire white population of Butler turned out to pay their last respect to the memory of the deceased. The family have the sympathy of all in their bereavement
