The Georgia Enterprise, Feb. 4, 1887
DEATH'S SAD ROLL
  Master Woodson Perry, aged about 15 years, died at the residence of his uncle,
Mr. Edward Heard, in Covington, on Sunday last, Jan. 30th. His death was caused
from meningitis. He was a noble youth, and beloved by all who knew him. For some
time past he had been clerking for Messrs. Heard, White & Thompson, and was a 
general favorite with the proprietors and all the salesmen, as well as with the 
trading public. He had been confined to his bed only a few days before death 
claimed him as its own. Just blooming into a promising young manhood, with a 
kind and gentle disposition, steady in his habits and pious in his demeanor, 
the startling announcement of his death caused saddness to prevail over this
city as it was heralded from lip to lip and told from house to house. Woodson
was a son of Josiah Perry, Esq., and the heart stricken father, relatives and
friends have the sympathy of this entire community in their time of grief and 
bereavement, over the demise of this true and generous young man, whose brief
sojourn here on earth was like a sweet poem set to soft music in which harmony
prevailed and no discord appeared. Monday his remains were interred in the 
family burial ground near his father's residence in Hay's district.
