Atlanta Eve, News, November 17, 1900
Mr. W. J. Langford, a popular and well-known printer, died at his home in 
Cedartown Thursday at 5:30 p.m. This sad intelligence will bring sorrow to many

Newspaper Union, and, up to a few months ago, when he retired from the service 
on account of bad health, he was efficient assistant foreman of that company. 
The cause of his death was consumption. He leaves a wife and one child who have 
the sympathy of their many friends in Atlanta. The funeral occurred yesterday 
in Cedartown. (Atlanta Eve, News, November 17, 1900)
