Bedwell, the shoe man, died this morning at 7:10 o’clock at his home in the southwest part of town following his second conjestive chill. His first was Tuesday afternoon when he was carried home from his shop and came very near dying in spite of medical aid. The second hill came on this morning and he lasted but a few minutes. He was 65 years of age. He was a good citizen, always active for those things that tend toward progress, and attended strictly to his own business, never meddling in the affairs of others. He leaves a wife and daughter here. ------------------- The Fulton County Democrat Friday, Jan. 18, 1924 Vol. XXXIII No 23 Page 1 The funeral of S.S.
