Obituary
“Death of Dred Scott,” Christian Inquirer, October 16, 1858, p. 3: 2.
Death of Dred Scott. – The name of Dred Scott is imperishable,
for it is the title of a great step taken in behalf of American
slavery, which will be followed by others, or else will have to be
reversed by the slow but sure progress of free principles. But Dred
Scott, the individual, the negro of African descent, and therefore not
a citizen, is no more. He died at St. Louis on Friday last, at a very
advanced age. Nearly all of his years were passed in obscurity, and his
greatness was thrust upon him as the sands of life were fast running
