Leaf-Chonicle. Weekly (Clarksville, Tennessee), 14 November 1878, Thursday, p. 5
Mr. William Douglas Meriwether died at his home, Meriville, Todd county, Ky., on the 6th inst., in the 67th year of his age.
Mr. Meriwether was in many respects a remarkable man and useful citizen. He was a highly cultivated man, possessing talent, and in every sense of the word strictly honorable. He was one of the most generous men we have ever known, dealing out open-handed charity wherever he saw it deserving. The young men growing up around him who made an effort to help themselves were sure to enlist his sympathy and advice.
He possessed a large fortune, and during his life used it to good advantage, and left to his relatives quite a large estate.
The community has lost a valuable citizen in the death of Mr. Meriwether, and the poor a staunch friend.
