    BYRNE - At his late residence, No. 137 Maple avenue, on Saturday, Nov 28, after an illness of five months, George Griffin Byrne, aged 58 years.

    Mr. Byrne came to Jackson with his parents from the east when a child, and had resided in Jackson for a period of fifty-one years. Deceased had been a member of the Baptist church for about thirty years, and had served that organization as deacon and in other capacities, filling every office with credit to himself. Mr. Byrne had been employed by the Withington & Cooley company as foreman of their prison contract for twenty-three years. Deceased leaves a wife and seven children to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent husband and father.

    The funeral occurred at 10 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 2, Rev E. R. Curry officiating. The funeral was largely attended. The body was borne to the grave by the deacons of the Baptist church.  [12]

    Notes 
    • A carpenter by trade, working on his own, or as an employee of the Jackson penitentiary. When my daughter, Zoe, was born in 1988, my grandparents offered me a crib that had been made by George G Byrne. It was lovely, but looked terrible by comparison with modern cribs (e.g. slats that were a perfect fit for catching a baby’s head), so I declined. While I never would have used it, I regret not having a sample of his handiwork.
