Sanders Hawks, the trustworthy and industrious drayman, a hard-working, upright, honest colored man, and one of the most useful citizens of Cartersville, was buried on yesterday. He was taken with a violent hemorage (sic) from the lungs on Friday evening and so severe was the attack that death ensued before medical assistance could reach him. He is a real loss to the community; was a prosperous man, and had the confidence and respect of all. His remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse, among whom, were many whites. We shall miss Sanders, and will find it no easy matter to fill his place. |
