FAHM, AGED VETERAN, DEAD--PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AFTER A LONG AND
LINGERING ILLNESS.
Maj. Geo. E. Fahm passed away yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Gustaf Anderson, after a long and lingering illness.

city hospital, where it was soon realized that his death was only a matter of
days, and it was then decided to remove him to the home of his daughter.
Major Fahm was 79 years of age, was a Confederate veteran, and wounds
which he received in the battles of the sixties, six in all, partly brought on
his illness. While, of course, his death was not due to these old wounds, when
he was taken ill two of the wounds for the first time in years gave him some
pain, and during the past few days these wounds became sore and painful. This
is said to be the first time that they have given him any trouble in years.
Mr. Fahm fought in many of the hardest battles in the Civil War. In the
battle of Gettysburg he received two serious wounds on the same day, and was in
many other hard struggles.
The deceased was also a Mason, one of the oldest members in this city,
and has been an active member of the Confederate Veterans association ever since
the Civil War. he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Anderson, one son, John R.
Fahm, one brother, Captain B.A. Fahm, and one sister, Mrs. Oxford Green, all of
this city.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. ?. E.
Roberts, of the Baptist church, officiating. The Masons, Confederate veterans,
Daughters of the Confederacy, and other such organizations, attending.

Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!

When summer birds from far shall cross the sea
When autumn tints shall tinge the mellow grain,
But who shall teach us when to look for thee?”

PARK
POLICEMAN FISH Takes his own Life by Blowing his Brains Out.
Park Policeman J.W. Fish shot himself last Saturday with a .38
calibre Smith & Wesson pistol whilst seated in a chair in his kitchen.
Mrs. Fish has been away for some time visiting relatives and friends
in New York and Kentucky. Miss Ella Fish, the daughter, was married two days
before to Mr. Jas. McRea, of Macon, so there were none of the family at home,
except Mr. Fish.
A gentleman named Barnard and his family from Florida occupy rooms
upstairs in Mr. Fish’s house. About seven o’clock in the morning Mr. Barnard
heard the report of the pistol, and found on coming down stairs Mr. Fish seated
in a chair in the kitchen, pistol still in hand and his head leaning back
against the window, with a ghastly hole in his right temple and the blood and
brains oozing out.
Policeman Dubberly was soon on the ground and took charge. The
writer got to the scene shortly after, and found that life was extinct.
Those who have seen most of him lately, state that he has been quite
low spirited of late, saying that he would lose his place as Park Policeman in
the new deal in politics this winter, and that he has been drinking heavily of
late.
We could find no writing of any kind except an unsealed envelope on
the bureau in his room, addressed to Mrs. Jas. McRea, No. 454 Oak street, Macon,
Ga., containing a post office notice of registered letter in post office for
Miss Ella Fish.

DEATH OF MR. O.H. FISH
On Sunday last this gentleman passed away suddenly, the victim of a
congestive chill. He was at the breakfast table apparently in good health and
spirits, though he had been unwell for several days, and at noon he was a
corpse. His death was a shock to our people, he being well known and much liked
and respected. His stricken relatives, and especially that aged mother, have
our most sincere circumstances. His funeral took place on Monday, and was
largely attended. He was interred with military honors by the Riflemen, of
which he was a member. Our band, of which he was also at one time a member,
participated in the ceremonies.

FLOWERS, Theodore “Tiger”
Historical Newspapers, Birth, Marriage, & Death Announcements, 1851-2003; The
Atlanta Constitution; 17 November 1927
TIGER FLOWERS IS DEAD AFTER MINOR ILLNESS—“Georgia Deacon,” Ex-Ring Champion,
Dies Suddenly in New York Hospital.
New York, November 16.—(AP)—“Tiger” Flowers, the taciturn negro
“Praying Deacon” who formerly ruled the middleweight boxing ranks, died shortly
after 8 p.m. tonight in a private hospital here following a comparatively minor
operation.
The Atlanta, Ga., battler submitted to an operation for removal of a
growth above his right eye at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Although he came out of
the either [sic] in “fair” condition, he suffered a sinking spell soon afterward
and was rushed back to the operating room, where he failed to rally.
Flowers, a deacon in a church at Atlanta, Ga., where he made his
home, wore the famous “Tiger” bathrobe that has appeared in rings all over the
country when he walked to the operating room this afternoon. After a few
breaths of ether he murmured his last words: “If I should die before I wake, I
pray the Lord my soul to take.”
The man who lost his title to Flowers—Harry Greb) died in a hospital
at Atlantic City in October, 1926, under almost the same circumstances. Flowers
was beaten for the title in Chicago by Mickey Walker on December 3 of the same
year.
The negro battler, one of the busiest of present-day fighters, won
19 contests this year and seemed due for another chance at his old title due to
legal measures planned at Madison Square Garden today to secure a match with
Mickey Walker. Flowers fought twice last week, gaining a draw with Maxie
Rosenbloom in Detroit November 9 before knocking out Leo Gates, heavyweight, in
four rounds here last Saturday.
Flowers, 32 years old, is survived by a widow and one child.
KNOWN HERE AS THE “WHITEST COLORED MAN.
Flowers was known in Atlanta as “the whitest colored man in the
ring” because of his conduct during his career. He was always game and he
always fought his hardest. His conduct was unimpeachable and he was one of the
most popular fighters the south has ever produced.
Born at Camilla, Ga., on August 5, 1895, Flowers spent his early
days in Brunswick, where he began fighting. The story among ring followers goes
that Walk Miller, back in 1918, sent Billy Hooper, well-known local negro
fighter, down to Brunswick to fight Flowers, then an unknown. Flowers knocked
Hooper out in short order and the latter came back with the word that Flowers
was a comer and Miller brought him to Atlanta.
At that time Miller owned a gymnasium at the corner of Forsyth and
Hunter streets, and he began putting Flowers in preliminaries. His gameness and
fighting spirit soon began to attract attention and he advanced rapidly. Under
the management of Miller, Flowers was soon fighting better-than-average men and
about four years ago made his debut in New York, where he immediately gained
popularity.
Flowers, ofttimes [sic] called the “Fighting Georgia Deacon,” was a
prominent church worker among his people and a member of the Butler Street C.M.E.
church.
Once he was established in New York, Flowers kept going up until he
got a chance to fight Harry Greb, then holder of the middleweight title. The
fight was 15 rounds, to a decision, and went the entire limit. Flowers put up
one of the great fights of which he was so capable and won the decision. That
was on February 26, 1926.
Then, on December 3, of the same year, he defended his newly-won
crown against the onslaught of Mickey Walker. The fight was held in Chicago,
and went 10 rounds. Walker was given the decision, which occasioned
considerable wrangling and a return bout was the outgrowth of the arguing which
followed the fight.
There was some argument over Walker’s going through with the return
bout, and recently the National Boxing association and the New York boxing
commission ordered Walker to meet the Georgia ringster.
The order by the New York body was issued Wednesday and called for a
bout within the next five days.
Shortly after that story clicked in over the wire, bearing the
message that meant so much to this popular and game colored man, those same
wires again carried a message—announcing his death. Telling the story of the
passing of a great fighter and a good citizen.
For Flowers was that. He made a good-sized fortune during his ring
career and gave a large part of it to colored churches in Atlanta and Georgia.
He owned a home in Atlanta that is one of the most beautiful in the city.
But the followers of ring affairs and those connected with it will
miss Tiger Flowers, because he was a square shooter and loved by the white man
and colored man alike.

TIGER FLOWERS DIES SUDDENLY IN NEW YORK
Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, colored, of Brunswick, former middle
weight champion of the world, died suddenly in New York Wednesday morning,
following a minor operation for the removal of a growth over one eye. Tiger
Flowers was raised in Brunswick where his father, Aaron Flowers, still resides,
with other members of his family. He entered the ring as a pugilist some twelve
years ago under the management of Lee Bailey, colored boxing promoter of the
famous L Street Park and became so proficient that he attracted the attention of
Walk Miller, promoter of Atlanta, under whose management he steadily climbed the
ladder until the championship of his class was his reward. His loss of the
title last year is one of the outstanding scandals of the prize ring, it being
generally agreed that he was robbed of it by a grossly inaccurate decision of
the referee.
Flowers, always a steady and ambitious man, was known as the Georgia
Deacon, because of his publicly announced interest in religion. He saved his
money and was reputed to be possessed of considerable wealth, among his holdings
being a home in Atlanta said to have cost him $65,000.
Telegrams received here by members of his family and his lodge,
indicate that his body will be brought to Brunswick for burial, either Sunday or
Monday. There will be wholesale mourning among the colored population of
Brunswick, all of whom revered and respected “Tiger”, who was their idol. He
had a wide acquaintance and close friendships among the white people of the
city. His father is one of the most highly respected colored citizens of the
city.

her long residence in Brunswick has made an unusually large number of close
friends, all of whom will be grieved to learn of her death.
The deceased was born in Quincy, Fla., on Nov. 17, 1846, being 80
years of age. She was married to John R. Franklin, of this city, who died many
