The Georgia Enterprise, December 1, 1899
Mr. Rufus Almand Dead
     Mr. Rufus Almand, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Almand, of this county, died 
at Marianna, Cuba, on November 19th, and was buried on the 20th. Mr. Almand, in 
company with Messrs. Jno. S. Gleaton, James McElvany and Charlie Almand left 
Conyers on the 10th of Nov., for Cuba, to launch out upon a business career for 
themselves. They are all bright and energetic young men, and went, apparently 
under the brightest prospects for a successful career.
     Mr. Almand was stricken down a few days after arriving in Cuba, with 
yellow fever, and continued to grow worse until the end came. A Cuban Doctor 
was immediately summoned and as soon as possible an American physician from 
Havana was secured. A wealthy Cuban had the boys removed to his home, and all 
that could possibly be done in the way of providing medicine and trained nurses 
for Mr. Almand was done.
     Mr. Rufus Almand was well known in this county and Rockdale, having been 
in the fertilizer business at Conyers for several years. In his untimely death, 
the family have the tenderest sympathy of all in their sad hour of affliction.
