The Atlanta Constitution 7 March 1919 
Judge S. J. Winn Dies on Thursday After Long Illness

Judge Samuel J. Winn, pioneer Georgian and well known throughout this section, 
died at 10:30 o'clock Thursday night at the residence of his sister, Mrs. E. 
H. Jordan, 26 East Ninth street.  He had been in poor health during the past 
two or three years and the end was not unexpected.  He was 82 years old.

Judge Winn, who served a term as a Georgia state senator, was born in Clark 
(sic) county, January 11, 1837.  He resided for a number of years at 
Lawrenceville, Ga., where he held office as judge of city court for several 
years. 

He came to Atlanta after the death of his wife in July, 1910, and began the 
practice of law here.  He was a prominent Mason, and was a member of the 
Lawrenceville Methodist church.  He had a large circle of friends throughout 
the state.  He was elected to the Georgia senate in 1876. 

Besides his sister, Mrs. Jordan, he is survived by one son, Courtland S. Winn, 
prominent Atlanta lawyer and former mayor of the city.

Although funeral arrangements were not complete Thursday it is expected that 
the last rites will be held at Lawrenceville Saturday.  Interment will be in 
the family lot at Lawrenceville.
