Georgia Enterprise, Febuary 3, 1899
LEWIS MILLER DEAD
     Lewis Miller, one of Covington's most respected colored citizens, died
at his home here Saturday evening, January 28th, 1899. He was taken violently
ill, and in a short while after reaching his home was cold in death. He died of 
heart disease.
     Lewis has been in this county a number of years, and was esteemed very
highly by all who knew him. He came here with nothing but push energy and good
manners, and by his exemplary conduct and kindness to all, rapidly pushed 
himself to the front. He has been in the restaurant business here for a number
of years, and there is hardly a man in Newton county who did not know him.
     He died in his 49th year. His funeral was preached at the colored Baptist
church Monday morning at 9 o'clock by Rev. E. P. Johnson, assisted by Tony
Baker. His remains were carried to Atlanta for interment on the eleven o'clock
train. 
     Lewis owns several pieces of property in town and a couple of hundred acres
of land in the county.
