Fairfield Recorder - July 9th 1888 edition of "Antioch Happenings" 
[from the Freestone Co History book, A History of Freestone County: Its 
Communities: Its People, Phase III, page A 165.]

DIED.-- Mr. William J. DAY, whose illness was mentioned recently died last 
Friday at 12 o'clock.  Mr. DAY was very well known in our county, as well as in 
adjoining counties.  He was an old man, and has a large family and several grown 
boys to attend to his business.  But that is not like having a father and husband 
to go for advice.  Mr. DAY was among our most energetic citizens and we regret
very much to lose him.  He will be greatly missed in our community.  His
remains were interred in the family grave yard on his place. [William Jackson 
Day family cemetery]

On page A-149 of this same book, it mentions that " Mr. William J. Day, living 
a few miles east of town, is critically ill with flux."
