Memorial being left for reference--please see discussion.
Although this article names Isaac Hightower, it should read William, his brother.
William Hightower died in Macon the same day and had the same funeral and burial information. It seems very unlikely for two well known and aged Hightower gentlemen in Macon to have the same death date, funeral date and burial information without there being a mention of this coincidence in the local paper.
Should any additional information come to light, the memorial will be updated. This memorial is being left for reference should others find this obituary in the future.
