“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical, May 1953 Issue


I. C. DENTON – Madison Co., Ala.

	In memory of our beloved brother, I. C. Denton, Madison Co., Ala.  
Brother Denton was born in Sevier Co., Tenn., in 1861 and died Nov. 7, 1952, 
being 91 years old.  He was united in marriage to Hetty P. Bird in 1884, and to 
this union were born seven children.  His wife and four children preceded him 
in death.
	Brother Denton came to Alabama in 1884 and lived here until death.  The 
surviving children are:  Thomas Denton and Mrs. Luther E. [or C.] McCord, both 
of New Market, Ala.; 22 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; eight great-
great-grandchildren; and one sister, Mrs. M. C. Joiner, Harvey, Ill.
	Brother Denton united with the Primitive Baptist Church at Bethany in 
Madison County on the fourth Sunday in July 1897 and was baptized by the late 
Elder J. M. Bragg.  In March 1907, he was ordained deacon and later chosen 
Church Clerk, which office he filled until death.
	He will be greatly missed by his brethren, children, and many friends, 
but let us say with one of old, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; 
blessed be the name of the Lord.”  He was a firm believer in the doctrine of 
God our Saviour and was loved far and near.  His doctrinal and experimental 
talks were enjoyed by his brethren.
	May God bless and comfort the family and reconcile us with the thought 
that our loss is his eternal gain.  Just before Brother Denton became unable to 
go, he told me that he had been a member of Bethany Church for 52 years and had 
missed only two meeting days.  He passed away in New Market at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Luther C. McCord. – R. O. Simmons
