The Georgia Enterpise, Feb. 11, 1887
DEATH'S SAD ROLL
  Mr. J. S. Thomas died at his residence in Covington, Monday night, Feb. 7th.
Aged about 30 years. A good and noble man has been called from among us, and
the announcement of his death will carry grief and sorrow to many hearts and 
homes in this state. For days and nights he lingered upon a bed of sickness and
pain and through all his suffering he murmured not. When the shadow of death
crossed his threshhold and the Master summoned him home he obeyed the call 
without a tremor. As a citizen and a Mason, Mr. Thomas so conducted himself as 
to gain the confidence and secure the friendship of all with whom he came in
contact. He leaves a young wife, daughter of Capt. F. M. Holder, and many true
friends and loved ones to lament his untimely death. May God in his tender mercy
give the heart stricken wife of our dear departed friend strength to bear the 
great misfortune which has been visited upon her, and may He cheer the good
mother whose bleeding heart is sore and lacerated over the death of her darling
boy.
