You really have to read these closely, but frequently they mean "formerly". So, you have "John Smith, late sheriff of Jones County" -- he isn't "late" as in "dead" but "late" as in "former" "John Smith, late of Jones County" -- where does he live now? Hmmm. It usually helps to see the total context, which may give more clues.
