"The Chronicle" (Lockesburg Arkansas newspaper, photocopy at Lockesburg City Hall) dated April 2, 1884
At Lockesburg Arkansas, April the 2nd Mr. George Nall in the 48th year of his age. Mr. Nall was a citizen of Lockesburg from the time it became the county city, until his death and was well known in this and adjoining counties and was beloved by all who knew him. We can hardly realize that we will see his cheerful face and hear his friendly greets no more. As a friend he was kind, as a neighbor he was obliging, as a husband he was devoted, as a father he was affectionate, no sufferers appeal went unheeded by him. His remains were followed to Belleville Cemetery by a large concourse of people where he was buried by the Masonic Fraternity of which he was a member. The weeping wife and children have the sympathy of the entire community.
