In November 1889, Jefferson Davis traveled to Brierfield Plantatain to resolve some family business. As he traveled to the plantation, Davis was exposed to cold-rain in New Orleans. The rain caused Davis to develop a case of bronchitis and a severe cold, which was further complicated by malaria.
Jefferson Davis later died at the home of a friend on December 6, 1889 between 12:30 AM and 1:00 AM.
This is what many of the Southern newspapers read after the death of Davis:
"Throughout the South are Lamentations and tears; in every country on the globe where there are lovers of liberty there is mourning; wherever there are men who love heroic patriotism, dauntless resolution, fortitude or intellectual power, there is an sincere sorrowing. The beloved of our land, the unfaltering upholder of constitutional liberty, the typical hero and sage, is no more; the fearless heart that beats with sympathy for all mankind is stilled forever, a great light is gone----Jefferson Davis is dead!"
