(Cedartown Standard, Thursday, February 20, 1919) 
Rev. S. B. Ledbetter, D. D., the Presiding Elder of the Dalton District with 
his pastoral home at Cartersville, died Thursday at LaFayette, where he was 
taken ill with influenza the Sunday before while conducting a quarterly 
meeting. The deceased was a son of Rev. and Mrs. L. L. Ledbetter, and his 
boyhood days were spent in Cedartown where he numbered many friends who deeply 
regret his death. He was one of the best known and most generally beloved 
members of the North Georgia Methodist Conference, and had filled many of its 
best appointments. Four years of his ministry were spent as Presiding Elder of 
this district. Surviving him are his wife and four children, his wife before 
her marriage being Miss Emma Napier, of Lafayette. He also leaves four brothers 
and four sisters, D. H. Ledbetter, Copperhill, Tenn.; Hon. L. S. Ledbetter, 
Cedartown; Rev. C. M. Ledbetter, Waycross; E. L. Ledbetter, Decatur; Mrs. J. W. 
Lee of St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. W. J. Waddey, Decatur; Mrs. Carrie Hughes, Atlanta; 
and Mrs. J. T. Eakes, Augusta. Funeral services were conducted Saturday morning 
at Cartersville, and the remains were taken to Marietta for interment. A noble 
and useful life has ended, and the North Georgia Conference has lost one of its 
ablest and best members. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, February 20, 1919)
