Newspaper
"The Gospel Messenger", Volume 8, No. 8 – August 1886:
Johnnie Higgins.
This amiable young man, Johnnie Higgins, the loved son of Brother S. G. and 
Henrietta Higgins, after intense suffering of twenty four hours, died of 
congestion February 18th, 1886, in the eighteenth year of his age. He had 
never made any public profession, religiously, by uniting with any religious 
sect, but in point of strict morality, was excelled by none. During several 
years, in which the writer has lived in one-fourth of a mile of him, he has 
never known of anything in word or deed, to disprove or condemn in the 
character of our lamented young friend. Indeed there is evidence that he 
brought forth fruit unto the glory of God. One morning I was discussing the 
duty and importance of baptism and discovered that many tears flowed freely 
from the eyes of the dear youth, giving evidence that he loved the truth and 
felt the force of what had been said. But alas! He has fallen asleep, but we 
trust he sleeps in Jesus. Sleep on, dear Johnnie, till this mortal shall put 
on immortality and dwell everlastingly with the Lord, in love, and wonder 
and praise. – J. T. Satterwhite
In addition to what Elder S., has written above, we will say that Johnnie 
was a grandson of the beloved and lamented Elder V. D. Whatley, on his 
mother's side, and of Deacon Tucker Higgins and Sister Higgins, and their 
immediate ancestry, we greatly sympathize with them in the death of their 
lovely son.
- M.
