The Cherokee Advance 5 May 1880 p 2
Death of Mr. Silas Stephens
Mr. Stephens, who had been long a citizen of the place, in fact, one of its 
oldest, died yesterday morning at 6:30.  His health began to decline about 
the first of March, and about six or seven weeks ago he took to his room 
from which he came no more alive.  The cause of his death was a disease of 
the liver upon which, the doctor says, were formed two or three abscesses.  
He suffered very greatly, especially during the past week.  
The deceased was a native of Pickens district, S. C., where he was born in 
1821, and consequently he was 59 years old.  He came to Cherokee county in 
1838, where he resided until 1853, when he came to Cartersville, then a 
small village of shanties, and was engaged in merchandise until the war 
broke out.  Since then he has been similarly engaged and in trading.  Mr. 
Stephens was a consistent member of the Baptist church and left the pleasing 
assurance to his friends that he saw his way clear and hoped they would meet 
him in heaven.  He was a peaceable and good citizen.  We sympathize with his 
friends in their bereavement. ---Cartersville Free Press.
