Clay County Advance
Charles Sanders Leeker was born in Madison County Georgia January 1820, moved to 
Tallapoosa County Alabama in 1843. In November of that same year, he returned to 
Georgia and married Miss Martha Ann Shores, who survives him. He lived in 
Tallapoosa County until 1852 then move him to clay county near Lineville and in 
1859 moved eight miles northeast of Goodwater where he died May 24, 1896, having 
so journed on earth 76 years and 4 months, Brother Leeker joined Methodist 
church in 1846, but in 1857 united with Alder Springs Baptist church near 
Lineville baptized by Hiram H. Hickey. In 1871 the deceased assisted in 
organizing Bethsaida [Noe Rock Springs] church and was a constant member of that 
same, til he went to his home beyond the skies. For many long days this old 
father in Israel, patiently boro his afflictions and God in his goodness took 
him from his pain. Many relatives and friends mourn his departure.
Fraternally, C. J. Bentley.

Additional Comments:
Should read: Charles Sanders Luker, also it should read Randolph County, not 
Tallapoosa. In 1852 the area of near Lineville would have still been Randolph 
County.
