The Atlanta Constitution, February 4, 1910, Page 4, Col. 4: J. A. Aycock is Dead At Carrollton Home. Prominent Cotton Seed Oil Man Succumbs to Long Illness. Word was received in Atlanta yesterday announcing the death of J. A. Aycock, at his home in Carrollton, Ga. He had been in ill health for six months, and while his death was a sad blow to his friends and family, it was no surprise. His death is particularly sad in Atlanta, where he has been long and intimately know, and where he numbered his friends by his acquaintances. His identification with the cotton seed oil and fertilizer business, in which he was a pioneer, had made him prominent throughout the state and south. At one time he was the president of the Cotton seed Crushers' Association of Georgia, and it is largely due to him that this splendid organization has grown and prospered. Secretary Hutchinson, of this association in speaking of his death, said: "In the death of Mr. Aycock, the association loses one of its strongest and most prominent workers; the industry, a pioneer and one of the best -posted men in the south. His death will be a distinct loss not only to the industry, to which he was a credit, but to the state as well." He was formerly manager of the Mendeville mills at Carrollton. Mr. Aycock is survived by his wife and three sons. The funeral will take place at Carrollton this afternoon.
