Those those of you who requested surname look-ups, I will get to them after I get the "BROWNS" done. It's a part of my tree and will take a bit of time! For right now - here are the THIGPENS.

I appreciate all of your thank-yous. Working on this has got me re-hooked into genealogy! ...Debbie

KILLED BY MORPHINE.

Carrolton, Ga., May 18.-Our town was greatly shocked yesterday over the death of the pastor of the M.E. church at this place, the Rev. A.M. Thigpen, which occurred about four o-clock in the afternoon. He had not been very well for several days but no uneasiness was felt until shortly afternoon yesterday. Dr. W.W. Fitts was hastily summoned to his side, only to find him in a dying condition caused by an overdose of morphine administered by himself. All was done that could be done for him by Drs. Fitts and Hallum, but to no avail. The deadly drug did its work of death, and at a few minutes before four o'clock the man of God fell asleep surrounded by a large number of the members of his church and other friends. His estimable wife is greatly prostrated by the terrible blow which has fallen so heavily upon her. It is not yet known where his remains will interred, though it is probably they will be carried to Clinton, where his father and mother are buried.
