City building closing early for Small funeral
Offices at the Augusta Municipal Building, Sixth and School, will close at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for the funeral of George R. Small, 47, a longtime police officer who died yesterday at Augusta Medical Complex.
The funeral will begin at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Dunsford Funeral Home chapel. Rev. Gaylen Burow of Christ Lutheran Church will officiate and burial will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
The city offices will not reopen tomorrow and workers there won't return until Friday because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The black and white memorial flag for a deceased law officer was raised half-staff
on the city building flagpole yesterday after news of Small’s death was received at the safety department.
