The Georgia Enterprise, February 25, 1892
DEATH’S SAD ROLL
     Mr. WASHINGTON LOYD, one of the oldest and best men in Newton County, died 
at his home in Oak Hill district, on Wednesday, Feb. 17th. Aged 82 years. He 
was modest and unassuming, upright and honorable in all his dealings, and the 
world has been made better by his having lived in it. He had been a resident of 
this county for 41 years, and had been an obedient servant of the Lord for 60 
years. He was a member of Bethany Presbyterian Church, and a Christian man, 
true to his vows and just toward his fellow-men. He was an earnest and worthy 
Mason, loved the order and practiced its glorious teachings. He was an old time 
Southern gentleman, always polite, courteous and hospitable. It would be 
impossible in so limited a space to give the history of this good man’s life 
and tell of his many virtues. On Thursday he was buried, near his home, with 
Masonic honors. He will be mourned and missed by all who knew him. He leaves 
many loved ones and dear friends to lament his death, all of whom have the 
sweet consolation of believing that he lives in Glory in that land beyond the 
stars. His pure and spotless life is bequeathed as a rich and lasting legacy to 
his children, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren.
