The New Enterprise Dec. 5, 1901
Mr. S. B. Thomas Dead

   One of the oldest citizens of Madison has listened to the great roll call and
obeyed its summons.

   Samuel Beattie Thomas has been known far and near for many years as a citizen
of Madison and deacon of the Baptist church. He has been in failing health for
some time, though his last sickness was brief. A bad cold developed into
bronchitis and hastened the end which came on Saturday morning, Nov. 23d.

   He was about 83 years of age, having been born in Thomas county, Georgia.
Came to Madison county in the early forties where he lived till the time of his
death. His wife, Mrs. Keziah W., preceded him to the better land about five
years. He leaves several children and a number of grandchildren to mourn his death.

   A large concourse of people gathered to his funeral which was held last
Sunday afternoon in the cemetery at Madison, his pastor officiating.

   "We shall meet beyond the river
      And the darkness shall be o'er;
   With the toilsome journey done,
   And the glorious battle won;
   We shall shine forth as the sun,
      By and By."

               Stephen Crockett
