The Covington Star, June 3, 1885
Death of Mr. J. G. Anderson
     Mr. Joseph G. Anderson died at his home five miles south of Covington, on 
last Wednesday, after a painful and protracted illness of about six years, aged 
over 50 years. He was confined to his bed by a painful and acute disease for 
the past six years, during which time he suffered untold agonies, but he never 
once murmured or complained. His fortitude and patience are without a parallel 
in human suffering. His devoted wife was ever at his bedside to administer to 
his wants and cheer him with her kind and affectionate words of encouragement. 
Mr. Anderson was unable to take solid food upon his stomach for a long while, 
and for about 50 days before his death the only nourishment he took was in 
liquid form, and in the very smallest quantities. He was in the full possession 
of his mental faculties until a few minutes before his death, and passed calmly 
and peacefully into the Great unknown, where he is forever free from his long 
and terrible pain and suffering. May his rest be sweet and peaceful.
