Page 9 of 28Page 28 Transcribed by: Death Announcements (M to S) Thomas Kidman from the London Times Sala George A. SALA - We regret to announce that Mr. George Augustus Sala, the well-known 1895 Dec writer, died yesterday at Brighton. His health, mentally and physically, had given way. Difficulties, brought about in good measure by the failure of recent literary enterprises, had shaken an iron constitution and affected his mind, so that his friends scarcely recognised in the prostrate invalid the brilliant writer and ready ever fluent talker. His mother was the daughter of a Demerara planter and a Brazilian lady, and he hints at having some "Red Indian" blood in her veins. In her day she had some reputation as a public singer and teacher of music. Mr. Sala wrote, in two volumes, his Autobigraphy. In a sense he never wrote anything else. Every page of his voluminous writings is autobiographical, and he has told at great length the whole story of his life more than once. He was born on April 24, 1828, in New-street, Manchester-square. His father was the son of an Italian, who came to England about 1776, and who was concerned in the management of the King's Theatre, Haymarket. Mr. Sala gives vague information as to his Italian ancestry.
