Perhaps you already found this information.

I live in Dalla County and have worked with the Old Cahawba Araeological Park for the last 20 years and am now working with the newly formed Cahaba Foundation Inc.

We are establishing a new Geneological society focused on finding and researching families of the old town of Cahawba. We are very familiar with Rueben Saffold and family in Cahawba and would love to connect with his descendants. We are working on establishing family files throughout the town’s history and working with the families
At present we have over 300 families on file and growing.

I was delighted to find your website as well as your Family Society out of Georgia. I hope that we can communicate and work together on putting the family puzzle pieces together with you all.

You can contact me at this email or my personal email is glyons9874@charter.net or feel free to call me at 334-872-9874.

Death of Ex-Judge Saffold.
Milton J. Saffold, the gentleman who died in the City Prison Receiving Hospital early Saturday morning, to which institution he had been taken the previous evening by Officers Rochefort and Williams, who found him lying insensible on the sidewalk at the corner of O’Farrell and Mason streets, was formerly a prominent citizen of Alabama. While scarcely a man in years he was elected a representative in the State Legislature from Montgomery county by a decided majority over the opposition of William L. Yancy. Shortly prior to the war he was elected one of the three Chancellors of that State, which office he filled with distinction. Subsequent to the war he was again elevated to the judiciary, this time to the Circuit Bench, and as such did much toward ameliorating the asperities then existing in that part of the country. The deceased was a scion from a family long prominent in the South in industries, letters, professions and public service. His father, Reuben Saffold, was for many years Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama; while his brother, B. F. Saffold, was for six years Associate Justice of the Same Court. That office he subsequently resigned. In January last the deceased came to this city, and associated himself with his relative, R. B. Safford [sic], in the practice of the law. He leaves five sons and numerous relatives adn friends in the South to mourn his untimely fall. He was buried from Grace Church yesterday, Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Platt officiating. Cerebral hemorrhage was the cause of death, as revealed by an autopsy made.
