The Georgia Enterprise, December 25, 1868
DIED
      On Monday evening, December 21, at his residence near Covington, of 
Hemorrhage, Mr. _____ H. AUSTIN, aged about 75 years. Mr. Austin was a native 
of Greene County, from which he removed to the vicinity of Covington about 
fifty years ago, being one of the earliest settlers as well as the  most 
universally respected, citizens of what is now called Newton County. Although 
he had for many years had a home in the salvation of God, a sense of 
unworthiness kept him from uniting with the church. As in life he commanded the 
respect of the whole community, so his death is universally lamented. His 
funeral was largely attended at Holly Spring Church on the 22d, when a sermon 
suited to the solemn occasion was preached by  the pastor, Elder J. L. 
Purington, from John XI, 25, 36.
