LOCAL News

Monday's news dispatches brought the announcement of the death of Mr. Sol 
Haas, which occurred at Los Angeles, California on Sunday. Mr. Haas was born 
in Germany but in 1849 his father's family emigrated to the United States 
and settled in Newnan [Coweta Co., Ga.]. Here young Haas grew to manhood and at 
the outbreak of the Civil War enlisted as a member of the Newnan Guards and 
remained in service until the close of the hostilities. After the war he 
engaged in the railroad business and rose rapidly from one position to another, 
until finally he was made assistant to President Spencer of the Southern 
Railway.
 
He was forced to retire from active work however on account of ill health 
and for several years prior to his death had resided in California.
