  Death of Judge Merriwether
 Passengers who arrived in this city Monday evening and yesterday morning, bring us the unwelcome intelligence of the death of Hon. James A. Merriwether, at his residence in Eatonton. Although in the prime of life, he had been a prominent man in the State, and had filled many stations of distinction with credit to himself and honor to the State. He had filled the several offices of State Legislator, Representative in Congress, Judge of the Supreme Court and Speaker of the House of Representatives of this State, in all of which he evinced a high order of talent, and a zeal and energy of character that preeminently distinguished him among his associates. - Augusta Chronicle.
d. Note:   N4540 Georgian Telegraph (Macon, Georgia), 27 April 1852
  Death of Judge Meriwether
 It is with painful regret, we announce the decease of Judge Meriwether. He died at his residence on Saturday evening last, of Typhoid Pneumonia, having been confined by that disease about a week.
  Judge Meriwether has filled a prominent place in the public eye, for many years. He has represented the people both in the State and National councils, in the State Legislature and in Congress. He presided with great ability for several years as the Judge of the Ocmulgee District, and more recently he filled the place of Speaker of the House of Representatives of our State. To all these elevated and responsible positions, Judge Meriwether brought untiring industry, and distinguished ability, and in all of them he did his country good service. In the public concerns of Georgia, we hardly know the man whose loss would be more felt than will be that of the distinguished man who has been so unexpectedly and suddenly cut down, by the fell destroyer--and professional and social life, he has left a very large circle who will sincerely mourn his loss. But to these and to his State, the death of Judge Meriwether is to be deplored, how shall we speak of the loss of his desolate! d family, alas! alas! - we cannot speak of this.
