“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical April 1969 Issue

ROSTON DOLAND HATCHETT – Limestone Co., Ala.

	It is with a sad heart that I try to write in memory of Brother Roston 
Doland Hatchett.  He was born Aug. 30, 1882, to the late J. D. and Lura 
Hatchett in Limestone Co., Ala., and passed from this life Nov. 28, 1968, in a 
Lubbock, Tex., hospital at the age of 86 years, 2 months, 28 days.
	He was united in marriage to Mollie G. Gattlin on Dec. 10, 1905, in 
Limestone County.  To this union were born one son and two daughters.  Mrs. 
Hatchett preceded him in death June 1959.  He, together with his family, moved 
to Oklahoma in 1921 and to Texas in 1937, where he had since resided.
	Brother Hatchett united with Kelly’s Creek Primitive Baptist Church, 
Limestone County, when a very young man.  His membership was with Pilgrims Rest 
Primitive Baptist Church, Lawn, Tex., at the time of his death.  He was blessed 
to possess a most humble and contrite spirit, being so very tender-hearted and 
overflowing with love and kindness toward the Brethren and Sisters.  I had a 
close connection with him for a number of years and feel to know the past 15 
were so trying to his faith and patiences.  He so willingly and graciously took 
care of his wife, who was ill several years before her death.  For the last 
several years of his life, he had very much sickness and tribulations, but the 
mercies of a covenant-keeping God were most precious to his dear soul.  Oh, how 
we’ll miss his dear sweet face but would not wish him back, as surely we feel 
he is now sweetly resting in the arms of his blessed Redeemer.
	He leaves to mourn his passing two daughters, Mrs. R. K. Fennell, 
Earth, Tex., and Mrs. A. J. Dutton, Lubbock, Tex.; one son, William Reid 
Hatchett, San Francisco, Calif.; three brothers, Emmitt Hatchett of Tennessee, 
Owen Hatchett of Alabama, and Brother F. H. Hatchett of Mangum, Okla.; a 
sister, Mrs. Nina Dunivan of Tennessee; four grandchildren, five great-
grandchildren, and a host of believers in the Gospel of our Lord and Savior 
Jesus Christ.
	Services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder Durwood 
Bradley and Elder W. A. Winfrey.  The body was laid to rest in the Earth, Tex., 
cemetery.
	Submitted by the request of his dear daughter, Sister Fennell. – Elder 
C. M. Haygood
