Ivy Felton Mundy1

M, b. 19 November 1879, d. 2 August 1917
  • Last Edited: 11 Jul 2018
  • Birth*: 19 November 1879; Rockmart, Polk Co., Georgia1
  • Marriage*: 12 June 1907; Polk Co., Georgia; Principal=Minnie G. Allgood2
  • Death*: 2 August 1917; Rockmart, Polk Co., Georgia1
  • Obituary*: say 3 August 1917; Senator Ivy Felton "Felt" Mundy, big-hearted, whole-souled "Felt" Mundy is dead. Stricken with appendicitis Wednesday afternoon while at his post of duty in the Senate Chamber in Atlanta, it was characteristic of the man that he should insist on waiting to vote on a bill in which he felt an interest before being taken to the hospital for an operation. The surgeons found that their efforts were too late, and he passed away about 2 o'clock Friday morning. Rockmart and Polk County have sustained a heavy loss in the death of Felt Mundy. He was a community builder, ever working for his home town, but broad-minded and farsighted enough to recognize the fact that whatever helps one part of the county helps all. There was no movement for the upbuilding of his town and county that did not safely count on him as a vigorous leader. Stricken down in the prime of manhood, when his prospects for success and usefulness were at the highest, his taking away is inexpressibly sad and is a grievous shock to his family and to all who knew and loved him. He had served capably as Mayor of Rockmart, and was a leader in affairs of the Methodist church and the various fraternal organizations there. His success as an attorney had been marked ever since his admission to the bar after graduating from Mercer University, and he took an active interest in various enterprises. Genial and sympathetic by nature, he was always a helpful friend to the needy and distressed. When his remains were brought Friday afternoon to Rockmart, they were accompanied by an escort from the Senate and every business house in the town was closed as a tribute of sympathy and respect. The funeral Saturday morning was the largest ever held in Rockmart, the Methodist church being filled to overflowing, and the floral tributes being many and beautiful. Services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. M. D. Cunningham, assisted by Rev. Claude Hendricks of Lindale. The Polk County Bar attended in a body and a delegation of Knights Templar came from Rome to participate in the Masonic services at his grave. Surviving him are his wife, nee Miss Minnie Allgood, and three little sons, Clay, Felton and Lee; his mother, Mrs. M. E. Mundy; three brothers, Messrs. W. W. Mundy of Cedartown, J. E. Mundy of Augusta, and C. G. Mundy of Rockmart; and three sisters, Mesdames Irving Tinsley and D. H. Young of Rockmart, and G. C. Powell of Nashville. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire county in their great loss, which is shared by all. (Cedartown Standard, August 9, 1917)1
