d. Lauderdale Cty, AL

Obituary 19 February 1873 Florence, Lauderdale Cty, AL (Florence Times )
"We regret the recent death of three of the oldest citizens of our county, who were, also, we are informed, good and true men. On the 2nd inst. Died Samuel Richardson, aged 65 years; on the 9th inst., Fountain Rodgers, aged 77 years; on the 10th George Simmons, aged 83 years. While these respected citizens had attained to the three score and ten of human life, it is natural that those who knew and loved them should deeply sorrow at the departure to the unknown bourne."
