A DEATH IN JAIL
Jeff
Coffee, an United States Prisoner, Dies of Measles in Fulton County Prison
On Thursday the 5th of April, John J. and Jeff E. Coffee, two brothers from
Towns County, were tried in United States court for illicit distilling and found guilty of the charge. One of them, John J. Coffee was sentenced to three month imprisonment while his brother Jeff was more fortunate and got off with a sentence of 30 days and $30. After sentence had been passed and the prisoners had been confined to jail they were allowed to occupy any cell they desired, provided it was not already crowded. The two brothers asked to be placed in a cell which was occupied by other prisoners named Kite, Martin and Bowen, the entire party being well acquainted. Accordingly their wish was granted. After a few days had elapsed, they contracted measles, which at present is prevalent in the jail. Night before last John J. Coffee was dangerously ill and it was thought that he would not live through the night, while his brother was considered in a critical condition. Late in the night their conditions were somewhat improved, and the jailer and his assistants were greatly surprised to find about 8 o'clock that Jeff was in a dying condition. A courier was sent for Dr. J. M. Boring, the county physician, who soon arrived, but too late, as a speedy death was evident. About half past 9 o'clock the unfortunate man breathed his last. On the same pallet lay the sick brother of the dead man, unable to move. The scene was an affecting one and will be remembered by all who visited the jail as one of extreme sadness. The surviving brother has requested that the remains be sent to the family of the deceased in
Towns County for interment.
Measles have been raging in the jail for nearly two months. The first case developed on a prisoner from Gwinnett County named Erwin. The county physician is doing all in his power to suppress the disease and attending every want of the unfortunates. Mary Drucilla "Pollie"

Garrett Burial Ground is located. Jim Mac was a financial figure in the community. He loaned money and signed bonds. He always stored a portion of his crop for lean years. He was illiterate. Mandy did all of his business transactions for him. He would not sell more than a bushel of corn at a time, because he didn't want anyone to be able to use it to make a run of liquor. He was a very hard working man. He would bury the person trying to catch hay that he was pitching into the barn loft."
