A. G. ATKISON DEAD
A.G. Atkison died at his home in Burnet Sunday afternoon April 12th, 1925, following an illness extending over a period of several years. His body was interred Monday at the Bluffton Cemetery, where his father and other relatives are buried. The pallbearers were A. G. Murchison of Llano County, C. S. Shipp, H. B. Duncan, Walton Christian, Bunk Gibbs and L. C. Chamberlain. Dayton Moses of Ft. Worth, a close friend of deceased for the past quarter century delivered a tribute to the life of Mr. Atkison, reciting his worth as a citizen and father. Mr. Moses stated that some twenty years ago, Mr. Atkison requested that when he died that if Mr. Moses could be reached he wanted him to deliver a talk at his grave.
Deceased was born in the Eastern part of Texas, March 12th, 1866, making him at the time of his death 59 years and one month of age. When one year old he moved with his father's family to Burnet County, and has resided continuously since on the Colorado River.
Mr. Atkison was a man of unusual business ability, and had acquired large and valuable ranch interests in the section where he lived, to which he was constantly adding until his health broke down.
The writer has spent many pleasant hours in company with Mr. Atkison on his ranch. He was always the soul of hospitality and anything he owned was at the disposal of his friends. In his address Mr. Moses stated that Mr. Atkison did not like his enemies but he was a true friend to his friends, and we will bear Mr. Moses out in this assertion. There was no limit to which he would not go in behalf of those whom he liked.
Deceased weilded an influence in Burnet County that brought honor upon his name, and his death is deeply regretted by hundreds in Burnet and adjoining counties. Mr. Atkison is survived by his wife, his daughter, Mrs. I. W. Friedsam of Waco, a step-daughter, Mrs. R. W. Preslar of Taylor, and other relatives. The Bulletin joins other friends in extending sympathy to those bereaved.
Transcriber's Note: It says he is buried in the Bluffton Cemetery in the obituary, but he is buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. The only thing I can think of, when they moved the graves to transfer them to the New Bluffton Cemetery, a family member might have had them transfer the body to the Odd Fellows Cemetery
