Holifield, Thomas Jefferson
Mr. T. J. Holifield passed away at the home of his son, Mr. J. H. Holifield, about 12 o'clock Monday. He had been in feeble health for several months and while his demise was not unexpected it nevertheless came as a shock to the family and a wide circle of friends over the county. The infirmities of old age and a general breakdown were the causes of death.
Mr. Holifield had reached his 89th year and was perhaps the oldest Confederate veteran living in Butts county, and one of the county's oldest citizens. He was well and favorably known throughout the county and had a wide circle of friends. During the civil war Mr. Holifield served as a member of Company I, Thirtieth Georgia regiment.
Besides a son, Mr. J. H. Holifield, the deceased is survived by a brother, Mr. Matt Holifield, of Conyers.
The funeral was held at the residence Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The short service was conducted by Dr. Robert VanDenter of the First Baptist church, and interment was in the City Cemetery.
