“9-4-1830 Federal Union and Georgia Journal. Died in this place on Wednesday last, Thomas Dover, son of Pryor and Margaret Wright, aged 4 years, 9 months and 15 days. The boy was generally beloved, had made considerable progress in his education and gave promise of possessing every virtue that could elevate and adorn human character ere the “silver cord was loosened. Let his afflicted parents console themselves, for their flower was not plucked but transplanted by a Father’s hand, to the garden of Paradise, there to bloom forever”. ®4940
