Newton, Dec. 26--Maj. S. M. Finger died this morning at 7 o'clock and the burial service will be held tomorrow at the German Reformed church, of which he was a faithful, consistent and valuable member.
He had been ill for only a few days, but last evening about 6 o'clock suddenly took much worse, from which time the worst was feared by friends and the attending physician. He never rallied during the night.
Maj. Finger was a worthy member of the Masonic fraternity, a consistent Christian, and educated gentleman and a valuable citizen. His death has cast a gloom over this town, where he will be greatly missed. - Charlotte Observer December 27, 1896
