Middle Ga. Argus – June 30-1891
A Good Old Darky Gone

Uncle Dave Carmichael a good old Negro died at his home on the W. G. McMichael 
place on Wednesday, after a lingering illness.

Uncle Dave, by which name he was generally known, was one of he best men of his 
race in all the land.  He was sober, straightforward, industrious and 
trustworthy.  In 1866, soon after emancipation he moved to the farm of the late 
Rev. W. G. McMichael and remained there till his death.  While the weather 
would not admit of outdoor work he could always be found making baskets, 
bottoming chairs, etc. to gain an honest nickel.  Peace to his ashes.  There’ll 
be one Negro in Heaven, for good old Dave is gone.
