Middle Ga. Argus – Week of February 17, 1893
On last Sunday morning Lee Brooks was lying dead in his bed.  He had been 
complaining for several days, but nothing serious was contemplated until the 
above event. The doctors themselves were mistaken but he realized his condition 
and told his little brother he would die before day, but not to tell the family 
and disturb them, seeming perfectly reconciled.  This brother was by him when 
he died.

Lee was one of the best young colored men in Georgia.  When you and living on 
the farm of Dr. Mays he got the sympathy of the Doctor by his studious habits, 
and truthfulness, who carried him to the Atlanta University, where he graduated 
and he was holding first grade teachers license when he died.  He has paid Dr. 
Mays back all the money loaned to him to enable him to complete his education.  
Lee had no enemies and Dr. Mays has never had cause to regret the interest 
taken in him.
