Cedartown Standard,  Cedartown, GA., August 1, 1901
Mr. G. W. A. McKinney, fell asleep last Thursday, July 25th, he was just 
seventy-five years, three months and eleven days old. Born of good old Scotch 
stock in 1826 in Rabun County, he grew up to be a sterling young man and lived 
an incorruptible citizen all his life. When the civil war came on he knew 
nothing but his duty to his country, and made a brave and loyal record as a 
Confederate soldier, in the strength of manhood, he allied himself with the 
Baptist church, and lived a constant and active member forth-six years. It is a 
fact that he was for forty years the clerk of his church. Always loyal to his 
religious beliefs, he supported the church and its institutions liberally, and 
his church at Fish will miss his upright life and wise counsel. In his business 
dealings and public life as an official, he was ever the same honest man, and 
in his private life, with his family and friends, he was the same man of 
integrity, truthful, kind and considerate of all. Such men do good to all 
communities, and their loss cannot be borne without a deep sense of regret by 
all good people. Let his family and neighbors cherish his memory by living the 
same fond parent, the obliging friend and sterling citizen that he lived. 
J.H.S. (Cedartown Standard, August 1, 1901)
