The Georgia Enterprise, July 2, 1891
DIED, MR. “AD” HARPER
     On Saturday night, Mr. Addison Harper, a poor and penniless man who has 
lived in this city for 50 years or more, departed this life. He had his faults, 
he had his ups and downs, but he was very kind and understanding. There were 
good traits in his character, and the worst enemy he had on earth was himself. 
For thirty years we knew Mr. Harper, and strange as the declaration may sound, 
we learned to love the man, and in a feeble way tried to aid and cheer him 
along, for the temptations which blasted his life, at one time came near 
wrecking ours. Loved ones lifted us up and helped us to stand. He struggled for 
a life time, as it were, alone, and the chains which bound him were riveted so 
tightly that death alone could never _____ and make him free. We are told that 
he pled for forgiveness, asked for prayer and died easy. Perhaps he found joy 
and peace on the other shore. We hope so. Peace be to the memory of “Old Man 
Ad.”
