John T. Heflin
Son of Wyatt and Sarah Stelle Heflin
English Scotch and Hugenot
Born in Walton County, Georgia
August 13th, 1820.
Died at his home, Compton,
Jefferson County, Alabama,
December 19th 1888.

Admitted to the courts of Alabama 1841
Elected a State Senator, 1851
Judge of the Circuit Court, 1862
Member of the Constitutional Convention, 1875

As a Son, he was true to his birthright
As a Husband, he was gentle, considerate and provident
As a Friend, he was true and steadfast
AS a Patriot, he was an honor to his lineage
As a Man, he feared God and God only.

"An honest man here lies at rest
As ever God with his image blest
The friend of man, the friend of truth
The friend of age, and favor of youth
Few hearts like his with virtue warmed
Frew heads with knowledge so informed
None that knew him need be told
A warmer heart hath never made cold."
