Middle Ga. Argus – week of January 19, 1884
Samuel Ridgeway

It is our duty to report the painful death this week to make mention of the 
death of another of our very best citizens, Mr. Samuel Ridgeway of Towaliga, 
which occurred at his home on Wednesday night.  Mr. Ridgeway was well, and most 
favorably known by the people of this whole section, having been a citizen of 
this county since its early settlement by the whites.  He was eve known as an 
honest, upright, and enterprising man, and a conscientious, sincere and devoted 
Christian, ever ready to do his duty to God and man.  He has long been a member 
and pillar of the Methodist church, and died in full faith of a blissful 
immortality.  During his illness he often called his family friends and 
servants around him, and would talk and pray with them, and admonish them to 
live better lives, and meet him in glory.  He was perfectly reconciled and 
conscious to the last.  How easy it is for a Christian to die!  Mr. Ridgeway 
was born in the year 1801 and consequently was in his 84th year..
