The Georgia Enterprise, March 16, 1883
  On Sunday night, the 11th inst., Judge John J. Floyd breathed his last at 
his residence in this city. He had been confined to his room for some time and
his death was not unexpected, although it was a shock to his many friends
in the city when the sad announcement was made on Monday morning that the 
spirit of Judge Floyd had winged its flight from earth. He was well known to the
people of Georgia and for years had been considered one of the best criminal
lawyers in the State. He was once Judge of the Flint circuit and wore the ermine
with honor to himself and satisfaction to the public. He was a member of the 
Methodist Church and death to him was not a terror, for upon his dying bed he 
expressed a willingness to answer his Master's summons when it came. At the
time of his death he was about 74 years old. We offer our condolence to the 
aged widow in her hour of grief and loneliness, and extend to the relatives
and friends of the deceased our tenderest sympathy in the loss they have
sustained by the death of this good man.
