J. M. HOLBROOK IS DEAD.
Pioneer citizen Expired Early This Morning at His Residence on Peachtree Street

J. M. Holbrook, pioneer citizen and one of the best known of the elderly men of Atlanta, expired at 12:20 o'clock this morning at his residence, 311 Peachtree street. Because of the lateness of the hour of his death, it is impossible to announce arrangements for the funeral further than the fact that the interment will be at Oakland, where the body of the old citizen will rest beside that of his wife.

Mr. Holbrook had reached the age of 76 years. He is survived by two children, Miss Lula M. Holbrook and W. P. Holbrook. He is also survived by a brother, Jesse C. Holbrook, who is himself so ill that it was impossible for him to be at the beside of his dying brother.

For years Mr. Holbrook owned a store in Atlanta. About fifteen years ago he moved form Atlanta to Norcross, but two months ago returned to Atlanta. His death was not unexpected, for the reason that he was dangerously ill for several days before his death.
