DIED AMONG STRANGERS

A particularly sad death occurred at St. Simon [sic] Mills a few days ago.  
Mr. W.H Ryals, a young man of 20 years, after a month’s illness, passed away.  
Mr. Ryals came to St. Simon [sic] some time ago, and was employed by the 
Hilton-Dodge Lumber Co.  No one knew whence he came, nor could they even learn 
his past history.  When he died it was impossible to notify his relatives, as 
they were unknown.  Several young men at the mills built a rude coffin for the 
stranger, and buried him with all the ceremonies possible.  Mr. Ryals left no 
means to defray funeral expenses.  He is spoken of as having been a man of 
exceptional good character, industrious and showing good Christian training.  
His death among strangers makes one of the saddest incidents with which 
humanity comes in contact.
