Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of April 1, 1898
Robert Elzy Bartlett

Robert Elzy Bartlett was born Feb. 24, 1823 in North Carolina, his parents 
moved to Monroe county, Ga., when he was 6 years of age.  He married Mary E. 
George and they had 10 children born to then, 7 now living, 55 grand children, 
47 now living, 11 great grand children, 9 now living.

He died March 25, 1898.  He was always of abiding faith, and was received into 
Macedonia Baptist Church 18 years ago on the 3rd Sunday of last September.  He 
was a man of trial and affliction.  I have often talked with him of redemption 
and always found him stead-fast speaking of that hope he had from a boy, he was 
baptized by Rev. H. Y. Kimbell.  His funeral was preached by Rev. G. H. Carter 
from the scripture, to wit:  “Wherefore comfort one another with these words” 
after which his body was consigned to the ground, to wait the trump of God, to 
be raised in the image of Christ.  May the Lord bless his aged widow in her sad 
trials and comfort his children who do not mourn as one who had no hope.  He 
prayed to die and enter into that rest that remains for the people of God when 
Christ comes the second time, without sin unto Salvation.

Then will that body rise in a state of glorification and be forever with the 
Lord to behold his glory.  Farewell my brother, we expect to meet you by the 
grace of God.

J. B. Smarr.
