JEFFERSON, Geo. H. - The brothers, George, John and Tip Jefferson, are having a serious time in their families, there being nine cases of Lagrippe among them: three cases in George's family, four in Tip's and two in John's. In the case of George himself, pneumonia supervened and he has been seriously ill but is reported much better.

Died, at his home, Geo. H. Jefferson, elder of three remaining brothers of a family of ten children (5 boys and 5 girls), in the 57th year of his age, of pneumonia. He was born in Bedford county, Tenn. and his father moved to Arkansas in 1836 and the deceased has lived on the land where he died for over 50 years. Was in Confederate army nearly five years; was intermarried with Emeline Cliburn in Nov. 1865, at the place where he died, by Uncle John Maxwell; leaves a widow and six children -five girls and one boy, the boy only 11 years of age. He professed religion some three or four years since but never joined any church. He was buried at the family graveyard at 10 a.m. April 14th, Rev. P. Carnahan officiating. One of the best citizens Benton county ever had has joined the hosts across the river. We sympathize with the bereaved.

Geo. Jefferson, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Benton county, died at his home two miles east of Bentonville Saturday morning at 9 o'clock from La Grippe and pneumonia, aged 57 years. The deceased was born in Kentucky but was taken to Missouri while quite small where he remained for one year; he was about three or four years old when he came to Arkansas. He was not a member of any church but was a good, honest, moral, upright citizen and his death is deplored by his many friends who knew his worth. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Carnahan at his home Monday at 10 o'clock a.m. The remains were interred in the Jefferson family grave yard.
