The Cairo Messenger, Friday, September 18, 1914
The whole of Grady county will be grieved to learn of the death of Mr. L. J. 
Rigsby, which occurred Thursday morning at 6:40 o'clock at the home of his son, 
Col. L. W. Rigsby, in Cairo.  Mr. Rigsby had been a sufferer for several years, 
but had only been confined to his bed for a few weeks, and it was not thought 
the end was so near upon this good man.

He was one of Grady county's best citizens and his exemplary life will continue 
to be a guide to those who know him, in the way of truth, honesty and charity.  
He lived close by the Golden Rule.

Mr. Rigsby was 80 years of age last January.  He was a loyal Mason and had 
lived a consistent Christian life from his youth up and was a member of Long 
Branch Baptist church at the time of his death.

He leaves a wife and one son, Col. L. W. Rigsby and numerous relatives and 
friends to mourn his loss.

The remains will be laid to rest at Long Branch, Friday morning at 10:30 
o'clock, with Masonic honors.  Rev. J. P. Swann, pastor of the church, will 
conduct the services assisted by Rev. Jesse W. Cannon.
