Notes
a. Note:   N9818 Clarksville Weekly Chronicle (Clarksville, TN), 28 February 1880
  From the Sumter County Advance, a paper published in Leesburg, Florida, we learn of the sudden death of Dr. N. L. Thomas, once a well know citizen of this county. The following is the account given in the journal of the manner of his death:
  It is our painful duty to chronicle the sudden death of Dr. N. L. Thomas, who died alone in the field, near Yalaha, Friday, February 6th. When found by Mr. Hocker, and others, he was leaning against a stump, with an arm full of wood and his ax near by. Evidently he had gone out to procure wood and was returning with it, as the day was cold and rainey. He had not been long dead when found, as his body still retained some warmth, and apparently he died without a struggle, it is supposed of heart disease. Mr. Hocker conveyed the corpse to the house and then proclaimed the sad intelligence to his neighbors. The circumstance of the death of Dr. Thomas are truly very sad. He was quite old and feeble, and lived all alone on his homestead; consequently when death placed its icy hand upon his brow, there was no one near to care for him. Dr. Thomas was a gentleman of vast intelligence, and a physician his equals were few. He moved to this county a few years ago from Clarksville, Tenn., where his relatives now reside.
  Dr. Thomas was brother to the late R. W. Thomas, who was for many years editor of this paper. He was himself long recognized in the county not only as a Scientific Physician of the first class, but as a gentleman of great social and political influence. Before the was he was a man of large property, but that great convulsion swept away his means, as it did those of many other Southern men. In his latter days he believed himself not only an unfortunate but an injured man, and under the influences of his losses and his supposed wrongs, a considerable change came over his character; from being one of the most genial men, he became misanthropic and suspicious of his fellow-men, and evinced a disposition to seclude himself from their society. The loss of his wife a few years ago confirmed this disposition, and his solitary death is the source of sorrow to many who knew him as the life and soul of the best society in Montgomery county.
