J., George and John, and three daughters, Mrs. W. W. Mohler, Mrs. Samuel Murdock and Lydia Price.

He united with the Primitive Baptist church April 29, 1888, and lived a christian life until the end. His body afflictions were long and severe, but his confiding trust in Jesus, his unshaken faith in God and his cheering hope of Heaven strengthened him, and patiently he bore all, and peacefully fell asleep in the triumph of living faith August 8, 1909, at the age of 74 years, 4 months and 17 days.

May his sorrowing wife and children find comfort in God, whose promises never fail and whose mercies endure forever.
