Cedartown Standard, August 28, 1901
Mrs. Angelina A. Prior Potts Payne, closed her eyes in death, August 10, 1901, 
a life good, true and beautiful passed from earth to heaven. She was the 
youngest child of Asa A. and Sara Prior, who were pioneer settlers of this 
county and among the best citizens our county ever had. She was a sister of 
Mrs. Matilda West, an aunt of our well-known citizens, John and Jim Prior, and 
of Asa Prior who resided in the county until a few years age. On the 24th of 
April, 1855, Angelina Prior was married to Samuel Thomas Potts, who died April 
24th, 1867, leaving his wife with five children, of whom our citizen, Asa Potts 
near Cave Spring, is one. Mr. and Mrs. Potts resided in Mississippi for a while 
after their marriage, then in Texas, but when her husband had died Mrs. Potts 
returned to Georgia with her children, and here in Polk County she has lived 
out her beautiful life. On the 16th of September 1869, she was married to Thos. 
J. Payne, and became the mother of two more children~Mrs. Hawkins, who resides 
in Birmingham, being the youngest. The others are living in the West. Angelina 
Prior was educated at the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Cave Spring. She was a 
consistent member of the Baptist church, a faithful wife and a good mother. In 
her last days she was tenderly cared for by the family of her son, Asa Potts. 
She always seemed happy and had a smile for every one, notwithstanding the fact 
that she had her share of the reverses of life. She was a woman of refinement 
and culture, and in that has left her children and grand children a legacy on 
earth that will ever beckon them onward and upward to true manhood and 
womanhood. Mrs. Payne was for several years in feeble health, but she was ill 
only a few days when the Good Father numbered her with his angels in the 
celestial world. A Friend (Cedartown Standard, August 28, 1901)
