Lineville Headlight
Another good man has fallen asleep in Christ after 62 years of useful life and 
service. Brother. Y. J. A. Bartlett was born April 20th, 1816, in Stewart 
County, Ga., and died home in Lineville. Ala Nov. 18, 1908. Early in life he 
moved to Lee County, Ala., where he had the misfortune to lose his right arm in 
a railroad accident. Later in life when a young man he came to this (Clay) 
county, then known as Randolph County. and when about 18 years old he professed 
faith in Christ and joined. Mt. Prospect Baptist church. On the 20th day of Dec 
1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Hayes. a Christian woman who 
had joined the same church. Their marriage was blessed with six girls, two of 
whom (Ethel and Anna) preceded their father into the Beautiful Beyond. Brother 
Bartlett leaves a Christian wife. Four Christian's daughters, and a host of 
relatives and friends to mourn his death on earth, but they sorrow not as those 
who have no hope in Christ, but with blessed assurance they look forward to that 
day when they will meet him in that great reunion above, where death, sadness 
and sorrow enter not. He lived a consistent Christian life, being gentle, mild, 
and patient both in his life work and in his sickness unto death, and by his 
daily walk and true integrity of manhood he gained the love and respect of all 
who knew him.  At the time of his death, he was clerk of his church. We thank 
God for his life and realize that our loss is his eternal gain. May God's 
blessings rest upon the entire family, and many the Holy Spirit comfort the 
hearts of those bereaved, is the prayer of their pastor and church.
