Decatur Weekly Republican, Thursday July 18, 1878: "At Champaign yesterday took place the funeral of Mrs. Sarah A. Scroggs, widow of Hon. J. W. Scroggs, and mother of Col. George Scroggs, of the GAZETTE. The deceased was a woman of rare mental gifts, and had a host of friends. She had been in feeble health for a long time. The sympathies of a legion of friends will be extended to the bereaved son, who has been called upon within a brief period to lay away in the grave father, wife and mother."
Decatur Daily Review, December 16, 1878: "The health of Col. George Scroggs, editor of the Champaign Gazette and representative elect to the legislature is reported to be in a precarious condition. We sincerely trust the colonel will yet permanently recover his health and strength."
