The Constitution, Atlanta, 25 April 1869
Death of Col. Sumner J. Smith.-
We regret to learn that this able and esteemed gentleman died at his residence 
in Banks county last Saturday.  He had been in bad health for sometime.  Col. 
Smith was a man of fine ability and exalted personal worth.  He served in the 
Georgia Legislature about year 1859 from Towns county, and was a leader in the 
debates of that term.  He was ardently devoted to the cause of the Confederacy, 
and raised a regiment early in the war.  His health failed, and he returned 
home, where he has led a life of close retirement ever since.
Athens Banner.
