Cedartown Standard, June 20, 1901
One of Polk,s best young men passed away last Friday at Rockmart. Mr. J. Sam 
Davitte, the oldest son of Hon. and Mrs. J. S. Davitte, yielded to the dread 
ravages of consumption, after a heroic struggle for life. He and his wife had 
only recently returned from an extended stay at Phoenix, Ariz., where they went 
in the hope that the salubrious climate of that region might prove beneficial 
to his health. He was about twenty-six years of age, and leaves a wife and 
little child to mourn his loss. His wife was formerly Miss Kate Barber of 
Rockmart. The remains were laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery at Rockmart the 
following day, the funeral obsequies being very largely attended. The many 
friends of the family throughout the county sympathized with them most 
sincerely in their great bereavement, (Cedartown Standard, June 20, 1901)
