DEATH OF JAMES C. SPROULL

Died at his residence in Bartow county, Georgia of consumption, on Jan. 12, 
1866,  James C. Sproull, aged 49 years, 8 months and 14 days.  The deceased was
born and resided in Abbeville district, S.C. until he removed to Bartow 
county, Ga.  Few men enjoyed the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens 
as did this truly good man.  Large minded, in every sense of the word, he gave 
his time, talents and means to every enterprise looking to the good of the 
community;  while the afflicted and distressed found in him a ready 
sympathizer and friend.

No man had a higher appreciation of the joys of domestic life; or called forth 
more fully, the entire devotion of the family circle, than did this Christian 
husband and father.

Death is sad in every earthly point of view. It dissipates the brightest and 
best of human hopes and dissolves the tenderest ties of human affection.  Our 
whole nature recoils at its touch, and shrinks appalled from the cold, fixed 
silence of the grave.  But alas, when we shift the scene and regard it from a 
spiritual standpoint, when we behold mortality putting on immortality, we can 
exclaim, "oh, death, where is thy sting."  For then, as we consign the loved 
and lost ones to the tomb, 'tis sweet to remember:

"Nor pain, nor grief nor anxious fear,
Invades thy bounds, no mortal woes,
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here."
