Georgia News Notes
Colonel Jesse L. Blalock, one of the oldest and best known citizens of
Georgia, died at his home at Jonesboro a few days ago. Colonel Blalock was
seventy-six years of age at the time of his death and has spent all of his life
at
Fayetteville, where he was born, and at Jonesboro. The Blalock family has
resided in that section of Georgia for nearly a century and is among the best in
the state. Colonel Blalock was a lawyer by profession, but of recent
years he has practiced but little, devoting the greater part of his time to his
financial interests. He was possessed of considerable properties in Fayette and
Clayton counties, which he looked after with an active interest unusual in
a man of his advanced age.
