The Atlanta Constitution, 15 Feb. 1896:
JUDGE WHITESIDE DEAD
Had Been Suffering from an Amputation Several Weeks
Chattanooga, Tenn., February 14.--Judge Hugh L. Whiteside died here today from blood poisoning, which attacked the system through an amputated leg. He was the victim of his own carelessness, having accidentally shot his foot off with a shotgun.
He was one of the best known politicians in this state and had he lived would have been a factor in the next congressional race. Though but forty-one years of age, he has been mayor of Chattanooga and held the office of county judge. It was thought for awhile that he had been cured through the efforts of his sister, who is a believer in Christian science. The arrest of the blood poisoning was only temporary, however.
