ANOTHER VETERAN GOES TO REWARD
MR. D. G. FLEMING, PIONEER CITIZEN OF PULASKI DIED LAST FRIDAY MORNING.
Mr. D. G. Fleming, familiarly known as Mr. Green Fleming, died at his residence on West Broad street last Friday at the ripe old age of 76 years. Mr. Fleming had been feeble for some weeks, being confined to his room the larger part of the time.
There are few better known men in the county, and this would include what is now Bleckley County, for Mr. Fleming has been actively identified with the political and civic welfare of the old county for many years. In fact, born in the county, his record among his own people has been highly honorable and praiseworthy.
He has filed a number of important county positions, and was adjudged one of the county's best accountants, being most careful and correct in his bookkeeping methods. For many years he was associated with Capt. Ruel Anderson when the latter was in the cotton warehouse business.
Perhaps few men among us has made for himself a better war record during the Civil War than did Mr. Fleming. He went out with the first company leaving Pulaski under Capt. T.D.L. Ryan, and remained in the army until the last battle was fought. He was in all of the great campaigns personally led by our great chieftain, Gen. Robt. E. Lee, and was in practically all the great battles led by that beloved General. He was promoted to Ordnance Sergeant of his regiment. He was one of the remaining three who went out with this early company, and the only one living in Puluaski (sic). When Mr. Fleming volunteered he was turned down because of his small statute, but he insisted on being accepted and as a result of his pleading to go, was allowed.
He was always loyal to the Old Vets, and was possibly largely instrumental in organizing and naming the S. M. Manning Camp and held the position of adjutant of same from its organization until his death, and the surviving veterans, now so few, feel their loss is beyond repair.
Mr. F. H. Bozeman and Mr. W. S. Lancaster acted as honorary escort, and veteran, Judge H. A. Haskins, was one of his pall-bearers. Others were L. N. Anderson, J. F. Fleming, W. A. Smith, S. M. Caldwell and J. B. Lewis.
Mr. Fleming early in life connected himself with the Baptist church, and for many years was the clerk of the local organization. He was of the old school type and enjoyed most the old time congregational singing, and the doctrinal style of preaching.
His wife, two sons, Thomas J. Fleming, of Atlanta, A. P. Fleming of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. Dave Scarborough, of Macon and Mrs. Janie Rice of this city survive him.
His funeral occurred Saturday morning at his late home, his pastor, Dr. A. Chamlee, of the Baptist church, offiffciating (sic).
Thus passes one of the county's land-marks. His record in private and public life was highly honorable. In all of his officials acts not a whisper of scandal in any way reflecting on the highest of ideals. He left a rich heritage to his posterity. Pulaski county is the poorer for his going.
The floral offering was large attesting the love and esteem in which he was held.
Among the out-of-town relatives attending the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Fleming and Mrs. Margaret Kinchen, of Atlanta; Mrs. Ruel Hightower, of Macon, and Mrs. J. L. Mims, of Cordele. His daughter, Mrs. Dave Scarborough, of Macon, could not be present on account of the illness of her husband.
