Reuben Saffold's judicial career - Montgomery Advertiser, 1905-07-09 (excerpt)
Three-paragraph excerpt in column 3, from “As Judge of a Circuit Court” through “attention to his plantation.” The earlier biography and subsequent obituary/family narrative are not transcribed.
A retrospective family account in the Daughters of the American Revolution column, within “The Story of Reuben Saffold and Mary Phillips.” This excerpt describes judicial service and his later return to legal practice. It is a 1905 account, not a contemporary appointment record; its dates and quoted evaluations require independent corroboration. The full page also contains Confederate commemorative material and historical racial language.
