With pain we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of Ware County's best and most upright citizens, Mr. J. W. Remshart, at his residence in Tebeauville, Ga, at 9:10 o'clock a.m., on the 3rd inst., after a protracted illness of several weeks. Mr. R., was upward of 77 years of age at his death and was a consistant member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years. The deceased was highly esteemed by all who knew him, was surrounded with an innumerable host of friends and kindred who mourn his departure. His remains were taken to Savannah on the succeeding day for interment.
