The Covington News, Feb 17, 1909

MR. JAS. P. SAIN DIED MONDAY
Whole City is Cast In Gloom Over Death of This Popular Citizen
  A death which has cast a gloom over the entire community was that of Mr. 
James P. Sain, which occurred at his home in this city Monday morning. In his
death Covington has lost one of its most popular citizens and a man who held
the esteem of everyone. Mr. Sain had been a resident of this city for several
years, coming from Acworth, and from the day he came here he began making 
friends, to whom he was always loyal to a fault.
  When he first came here he was the picture of health and it looked as if
he was a man with an unusually strong constitution, but about two years ago
he began to have rheumatism, after which Brights disease began its ravages
on his constitution and since that time his health has gradually grown worse
and two months ago he was forced to stay away from his business, going to
Fla., with the hope that he would improve, but the trip was not beneficial to
him and he was brought back to the city last week. After his return his 
condition grew rapidly worse and the grim reaper made his last call Monday
morning at 8:30 o'clock.
  Mr. Sain was one man in Covington who was a friend to everyone. It made
no matter to him what walk in life a man had his friendship and interest was
extended. He looked more at the heart of a man than the attire, and will be
sorely missed by a host of people all over the county. Just the other day
the writer heard a gentleman say that if he had to pick out the man of the
highest sense of honor in Covington he would select James P. Sain. This is a
tribute to any man and one that was felt by everyone.
  The funeral services were conducted at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning from
the Presbyterian church by Rev. John B. Gordon, and was one of the most largely
attended of any funeral held in Covington in recent years. After the services
at the church the Odd Fellows took charge of the body and the last sad rites
were administered by that order at the grave. All the business houses in the
city were closed.
