J J Abrams a famed Southeast Georgia figure, long known as a shrewd but reckless man, died after a sudden illness following a controversial life. Once a conscript officer in the Civil War era, he endured many personal clashes and a fatal incident involving Frank Fonda, the Central Railroad supervisor, when a rifle discharged accidentally from his window. The coroners found Abrams not guilty of that death, yet his life remained marked by peril and hardship. He was engaged to marry soon and had recently secured an insurance policy.
