"DR. W. T. POOL DIED SUDDENLY THURSDAY NIGHT // Dr. William T. POOL died at his home, 114 Sixteenth street at ten o'clock last night after an illness of only five days of capillary bronchitis. Dr. POOL was widely known through West Georgia and the news of his death will carry sorrow to the hearts of many friends. // It was not generallyknown that Dr. POOL was seriously ill as his attack was not regarded as necessarily dangerous. Yesterday morning some improvement in his condition was mainfest and it was hoped that within the course of three or four days he would be able to be out again. Early last night, however, he had a sinking spell and passed out in a comparatively short time. // William Thompson POOL was born in Harris county, near Hamilton, 68years ago. When a lad of 16 years he ran away from home in order to join the Confederate service and, while young, his record as a soldier was a gallant one. // Dr. POOLE came to Columbus a year or two after the close of the war and in 1871 was married to Miss Ellen Sophia McEWEN. Miss McEWEN, who was a member of a prominent Virginia family, was visiting in Columbus at the time. // Dr. POOL practiced his profession, dentistry, from the time he came to Columbus until the close of his life and was one of the best known members of his profession in west Georgia. He was a leading member of the First Baptist church and, as a member of Columbian Lodge No. 7, A. F. & A. M., took an active part in Masonic affairs for many years. He held the warm friendship of a largen umber of people who esteemed him for his fine character and genial disposition. // Surviving Dr. POOL are three sons, W. Cloyd POOL, of New York, Joseph B. POOL, of Birmingham and Martin A. POOL, of Memphis, and one daughter, Miss Minnie POOL, of this city. Mr. Cloyd POOL was in Charlotte when notified over long distance telephone of the death of his father and arrived in the city today and Mr. Joseph POOL, who was notified in similar manner, arrived from Birmingham early this afternoon. Mr. Martin POOL is expected tonight or tomorrow morning. // The funeral services will be conducted from the home at some time tomorrow, but the exact hour has not yet been fixed."
