The Covington Star, May 6,  1885
Death of Judge W. S. Lee
     At three o’clock on Friday morning, the first of May, Judge W. S. Lee, and 
old and prominent citizen of Rocky Plains district, in Newton County, breathed 
his last , aged 70 years, lacking one day. Judge Lee had been afflicted with 
dropsy for several years, and was a great sufferer with this dreadful disease, 
but he bore his afflictions patiently and with unusual fortitude.
     He was an honest man, and discharged all his obligations as a citizen with 
strict fidelity to principle and right. He was a good citizen, and filled many 
positions of honor and trust with satisfaction to his people. He was kind 
hearted and generous, and was much beloved by all who knew him. His remains 
were brought to Covington for burial on Friday evening, and were attended by a 
large concourse of our citizens. Elder J. M. Brittain conducted the funeral 
services.
