received here early Saturday afternoon and caused universal sorrow here and

about the head and body. Death was practically instantaneous.

He was the friend of everybody
and loved by all classes. He stood for all that was good and was a power in his
community.

perfect. He was forty six years of age and was born and reared in the vicinity,
where he spent his useful life and met his tragic death.

found at services.

Rev. J. J. Ansley and Dr. John McGehee of Oglethorpe, conducted the impressive
funeral service of Donald Barton Frederick. The procession, a long line of
carriages and automobiles, was the largest ever seen here, and included friends
in every station of life. Masons in regalia, the Sunday School, which he had
been superintendent for more than fifty years, and even the old family servants.
Exquisite floral tributes attested sympathetic affection, especially beautiful,
being a pillow of pink carnations and Easter lilies from the Sunday School, an
anchor from his children, wreaths of pink roses and pink chrysanthemums from his
grandchildren. The hymns used were favorites of the sainted dead, "Asleep in
Jesus". "It Is Well With My Soul," and "Gathering Home". At the grave the
Masonic service was led by worshipful master J. O. Booten, F. J. Frederick and
H. M. Hargrove with a large gathering of Masons to honor the man who had proven
himself a Christian hero in lifes battles.

"Little" Donald King Frederick
The Macon County Citizen - Oglethorpe, Ga. July 5, 1912
From: MARSHALLVILLE NEWS section: Marshallville relatives and friends were
greatly shocked and grieved to hear of the death of little Donald King
Frederick, the two year old son and only child of Dr. and Mrs. D. B. Frederick
on Monday night at 8 o'clock at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Paullin of
Atlanta. The little fellow had been critically ill at his parents home here for
many weeks. It was hoped that a change of climate would help him and a week ago,
his father and mother took him to Atlanta. Improvement began and there seemed
strong hope for his ultimate recovery until Sunday morning when the disease
assumed a more violent form. All that loving hearts and medical skill could
suggest was done. But the angels called the little sufferer and he slipped away
to the Heavenly Home.
The funeral service was held in Marshallville on Tuesday afternoon. A great
profusion of flowers vined the tender sympathy of hosts of friends for the
bereaved parents and the love of many hearts for this beautiful child around
whom so many hopes had centered and whose bright smile and winsome way won the
love of all who knew him.
