"The Russellville Ledger, Wednesday, December 2, 1891 Town Crier"....Mr. Hite's Death:
Major George B. Hite died at the residence of his son, George T. Hite, in Adairville of pneumonia, last Tuesday, November 24th. He was seventy-six years of age.

He was a man of remarkable energy and of remarkable health, and was never confined to his bed with sickness during his life, until the attack pneumonia which ended his earthly career. The funeral services were conducted by Reverend I. W. Emerson, after which the body was laid to rest in the Adairville Cemetery.
