He was surrendered at Citronelle, AL, and paroled at Meridian, MS, with the majority of the battery.

The following account of George's death appeared in a Tennessee newspaper as related by his brother Sam:
January 5, 1898
A telegram was received from Grenada, Miss. Sunday afternoon by Sam Golladay, announcing the death of his brother, Geo. Golladay. Mr. Golladay had been apparently well and that day had attempted to drive some stock from his yard when he suddenly fell to the ground. When someone reached him life was extinct. His death was due to heart disease. Mr. Golladay was a good citizen and for a short time was a citizen of Wilson county, living on a farm just a short distance out on the Hunter's Pike.
