From: Sandersville (GA) Herald on Sep 17, 1885 (page 2, Col. 2). Reprinted in the Dublin (GA) Post on Sep 23, 1885:

A Good Man Gone

Washington County is called to mourn the loss of one of her best citizens, Judge Sampson Daniel, who died on Friday last, over seventy years of age. Born and reared in this county, he has passed his three score and ten within its limits in such a way as worthily to win and wear that which is rather to be chosen than great riches—a good name.

Of the dead we are wisely admonished to say nothing unless it is good, but of this man nothing but good was said while living.

From a countenance marked with intelligence, kindness of heart and native benevolence shown out so brightly that he irresistibly, and yet unconsciously, attracted and won the hearts of all. His readiness to respond to calls of duty, and his fidelity to trust were seen in his prompt and faithful service as a member of the County Board of Education, and often as a member of the grand inquest of the county, even after weighed down by the infirmities of old age. But best of all Judge Daniel was an humble, devout Christian, whose sincerity none doubted. But now life's duties are done, and he rests from his labors.

For some months he had been declining, but about ten days before his death he had a second stroke of paralysis, which confined him to his bed and finally caused his death. This afflicted family have the sincere sympathy of many sorrowing friends in their loss. Truly a good man leaveth an inheritance — Sandersville Herald..
