The Cherokee Advance  4 Dec 1885  p 2
Death of Judge Irwin
Our special from Marietta communicates the death of that venerable and 
eminent Georgian, Judge David Irwin.
A good man has fallen, and a State will mourn. 
Judge Irwin was in political life as early as 1840, an ardent whig.  He was 
a candidate for elector on the Clay ticket in 1844.  He was a decided Union 
advocate in the Southern Rights contest of 1850.  He was elected Judge of 
the Superior Court in 1857, and was defeated afterwards by Joseph E. Brown.  
He was one of the Codifiers of the Code, elected by the General Assembly in 
1858 and revised it in 1873. 
Judge Irwin ran elector in 1861.  He was member of the Constitutional 
Convention of 1865, called by Gov. James Johnson.  He was nominated as 
candidate for Governor in 1868, but declined when General Meade pronounced 
him disqualified on account of having been a Presidential elector.
For a number of years he has been out of public life.  Judge Irwin has been 
recognized as one of the purest and best men of the State, universally 
honored for high character.  His death carries off one of the landmarks of 
the State. ----Atlanta Capitol.
