April 10, 1902  unknown newspaper
Squire Billy Musgrove, as he was familiarly known by everyone, died at his house at

Mont Calm, Fayette county, Ala., on Wednesday the 9th last. He was one of the
oldest, 
and perhaps the most noted, citizen of Fayette county.  For some time he has been a

sufferer from dropsy, and although everything has been done to cure him, little hope
has 
been entertained for his recovery. Mr. Musgrove was truly a good man. It was his
desire 
at all times to do something for the comfort and pleasure of his neighbor, or any
one with 
whom he came in contact, and to show with what esteem the people of this county held

him they repeatedly gave him the highest honors which it was in their power to
bestow 
upon him. He will ever be remembered as a pious, honest and upright gentleman, and 
whose every-day walk is one worthy of immitation (sic). His remains will be interred
in the 
Piny (sic) Grove cemetery [Musgrove Chapel] today (Thursday). Peace to his ashes.
