"Bess George, aged 50, a well-to-do farmer living one mile west of Formosa, was taken sick Sunday morning June 4, and died at 11:30 that morning. His death is believed to have been due to apoplexy. Interment took place Monday at Union Hill cemetery, funeral services being conducted by Rev. Claud Jenkins. His wife and eight children survive. Mr. George was born on the farm where he died and as a farmer had been rather prosperous, though it is most probable he had suffered some reverses in recent years along with all others. He was a good citizen, upright and honorable, and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. "
