Henry Mackey – Memoriam

With a sad heart I write you of the death of Mr. Henry Mackey, who died at his 
home in Butts County Thursday evening., August 8,1889.  

He had been in feeble health for several years prior to his death, but was 
taken seriously ill a few days before he died and grew worse until he fell 
asleep in Jesus – that sleep which one never wakes to weep.  He remained a 
strong Baptist until his death; dying in full triumph of a living faith in 
Christ.

The church has lost a faithful member, the community a good neighbor and 
citizen.  May the Lord comfort his widow, who was so devoted to him, and who is 
also a worthy member of Sardis church, and may his children also be blessed of 
God, so that all  may meet him around the throne in Heaven and join in swelling 
the notes of that song which none can learn but those redeemed from the earth 
by the blood of the lamb.

In conclusion would say to his children:  Think of his counsel, discharge your 
duty, and may you meet your father in the realms of eternal bliss and glory, is 
the prayer of….
