Husband And Wife Die Two Days Apart
Willacoochee, Ga., Feb. 21 (1917 - Wednesday)
Special to Enterprise.
It is with sincere regret that we chronicle the death this week of two of our best citizens, Judge and Mrs. Isbin T. Giddens. Mrs. Giddens died Sunday night (Feb. 18th) at 10 o’clock as the result of an attack some weeks ago of paralysis and was buried Monday afternoon. Tuesday night (Feb. 20th) at the same hour Judge Giddens was stricken with heart failure and suddenly passed away.
Mrs. Giddens was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church, 59 years of age, a true and devoted Christian woman and loved by all whose pleasure it was to know her.
Judge Giddens was serving his third term as Justice of the Peace of this district. In all of his rulings as a Justice presiding over the rights of his fellow man, he was just and fair and was one of the best officers the district ever had. He will be greatly missed as an officer, a citizen and a friend, whose place will not be easy to fill.
They leave surviving them and to mourn their loss four daughters, Mrs. Lou Roberts and Mrs. Sallie Hardy, this city, and Mrs. Alma Wheeler and Miss Bernice Giddens of Albany, Ga., two sons, Moses Giddens, El Paso, Tx, and Arthur Giddens, Willachoochee.
Mrs. Giddens leaves a mother, Mrs. Mattie Roberson, Tifton, two sisters, Mesdames C. W. Fulwood, Tifton, and P. J. Clark, Albany and one brother, Geo. Dearing, Tifton.
Judge Giddens leaves five sisters, Mesdames. Nancy Kerby, Arthur Moore, Alapaha, Mrs. T. L. Daughtry, Adel; Mrs. Bettie Wilkerson, Valdosta, and Mrs. Mary Lee, Willacoochee, and one brother, Mr. John Giddens, Alapaha.
