Georgia Enterprise, March 4, 1897
THE LATE WM. DOLLAR
     Mention has been made of the death of Mr. Wm. Dollar, which transpired at 
the home of his son in Gwinnett county, not long since. But a man like Mr. 
Dollar deserves more than a brief notice when he dies. For sixty years he lived 
near South River, in Newton County, and was highly esteemed by all who knew 
him. He was an honorable man, courteous and gentle to everybody. He was a 
social man and made friends all along the journey of life. He loved the Lord 
and endeavored to keep His commandments, and at the wonderful age of 107 years 
1 month and 4 days he gently “wrapped the drapery of his couch about him and 
lay down to pleasant dreams.” He certainly fought a good fight, and did his 
best to keep the faith, and those who knew him have the consolation of 
believing that a crown of righteousness awaited him in the Spirit Land. Mr. 
Dollar was a quiet, peaceable man, but he possessed courage and will power and
could always be found on the side of right and justice, and the rough places in 
this old world was made smoother by his having lived in it for seven and one 
hundred years. Peace to the memory and rest to the soul of our dear departed 
friend.
