Newnan, Coweta Co., Georgia
Friday, June 18, 1909
Mr. John Clem Thurmond, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Senoia, died at the home of his son Mr. Harvey Thurmond in this city last Thursday morning from heart failure. Mr. Thurmond was up town only a short while before his death. He complained of feeling badly and was carried home by friends who left him thinking that he would soon be all right.
He was born in Coweta county on Nov. 20, 1843 and remained a citizen of this county until the fall of 1891 when he moved with his family to Fayette county, remaining there until last year when he came here to reside with his son. At the time of his death Mr. Thurmond was 65 years of age. His wife died about two years ago. Several brothers and sisters survive him.
As a soldier, he served faithfully in the 41st Georgia regiment for four long years and during all the trials of the Army was never injured in a battle. His record was clear and his reputation was that of a good soldier. Few lives can show a cleaner record or a man more upright in his dealings with his fellow man.
The funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church Friday morning by Rev. E.W. Jones and the remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery beside his wife.
