A GOOD MAN GONE=Hon.J.R.Jarratt, of Marianna, is dead. He was one of it's leading citizens, and one to whom that city owes an everlasting debt of gratitude for his personal interest in its welfare and his help in a financial and every other way in making it what it is. He was a Southern gentleman of the old school, a Chesterfieldian in his manner and bearing, and one of its best citizens. He died Monday, Jan.1,1912, and was buried Tuesday in the Cedar Heights cemetery, the funeral being attended by a very large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends who will miss and mourn him. He had lived in Marianna thirty seven years, having been a member of the old and highly esteemed firm of Jarratt & Rodgers, one of the oldest firms in Lee County. He had retired from business several years ago. Capt.Jas.Fussell went down to Marianna Sunday to be at his bedside, and remained for the funeral. He speaks in glowing terms of his old friend's manly virtues, and deeply deplores his death.
