(Cedartown Standard, Thursday, March 28, 1918) 
With far more than the allotted three score years and ten to his credit, Mr. W. 
T. Lee, one of Polk’s most highly esteemed citizens, fell asleep. Sunday after 
a few days illness, aged 79 years, at his home in Youngs district. In spite of 
his advanced age he had remained quite vigorous and had served on the jury in 
Cedartown only a few days before, so that his death came as a surprise and 
shock to his many friends throughout the county. In his young manhood, Mr. Lee 
married Miss Sarah McKibben, who survives him. Twelve children were born to 
them, only two of whom are living—Messrs. John S. Lee of Birmingham, and Mr. 
Reuben W. Lee. Mr. Lee was a brave Confederate veteran, fighting during the 
four years of war and being four times wounded. He served his district for many 
years as Justice of the Peace and was a devoted member of the Baptist Church. 
Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at Felton by Rev. T.A. Cook, 
and large numbers gathered there to pay the last tribute of respect to a long 
and useful life of strict integrity. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, March 28,
