OBIT; COL. SAM SOUTH DEAD
A Prominent and Wealthy Citizen of Frankfort Expires
Frankfort, Ky, Jan 22 - Col. Sam South, oldest son of Col. Jere South, deceased, who was once the leesee on the penitentiary and a political power in the state, died at his residence in this county to-day. Col. South was about 55 years of age, and, as a partner with his father in the penitentiary lease, acquired an extensive acquaintance, as well as a considerable fortune, during the course of his life. He was a private soldier in the Confederate Army, and participated in nearly all, if not all, the engagements of the Orphan Brigade, to which command he belonged. At the battle of Chickamauga, he was wounded and left on the field with the dead and dying, when a Federal soldier chanced to see him and succor him in his suffering. Long after the war, Col. South availed himself of the opportunity to show his gratitude in a substantial mark of friendship to his then needy benefactor. He leaves four grown children, among whom is the wife of Dr. E. E. Hume, the well-known physician of the city. The deceased, in addition to his large relationship with the State, has a wide circle of friends which the virtues of his character riveted to him, who will be deeply pained to learn of his death.
