W.H. Burks and family --- RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT BY ELIM BAPTIST CHURCH ON THE DEATH OF JOHN M. BROWN On April 14, 1909, God, in His infinite wisdom, called to his reward our friend and brother Mr. John M. Brown. Death came to him peacefully and without warning. Although he had been in feeble health, his sudden demise was a severe shock to his family and friends. Bro. Brown early in life connected himself with the church and, in his unassuming way, his life was spent in the service of his Master. He was born in 1838. When he grew to manhood he was happily married to Miss Lonie Daniel. Nine children blessed this union, eight of whom survive him. His second marriage was to Miss Sarah Stamps. Four children blessed this union, all of whom survive. We, as a church, would say to the children, "Weep not, for he is not dead, but sleepeth", and would point them to One who says "I will be a father to the fatherless". Be it resolved; That in the death of Bro. Brown the county has sustained the loss of an honest, upright citizen, the children a loving and indulgent father and counselor, and the church one of its loyal and true members. That we extend to the bereaved children and other relatives our sincere condolence and assure them that "all things worketh together for good to them that serve the Lord and are called accordingly to his purposes." That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our church minutes, and also furnished to the county papers for publication, and to the family. Mrs. H.P. Davis Mrs. Florrie Grimes C.B. Grimes A.B.

Luckie. Sister Luckie was a devoted wife and mother and a true Christian, who lived a life of love and service to others. She is survived by her husband, seven children and a host of relatives and friends. Therefore, be it resolved; That while we feel her loss, we bow in humble submission to the will of God. That we extend our tenderest sympathy to the bereaved family. That a copy of these resolutions be spread on our minutes and also sent to the county papers for publication Mrs. H.P. Davis Mrs. A.L.

McKoy, Committee --- RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT BY BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH ON THE DEATH OF SUSAN REYNOLDS GORDON Sadly we stand and silently seek fit words to express the loss we have sustained in the removal to the gloryland of our beloved sister, Susan Reynolds Gordon. On April 27, 1910 the Angel of Death came and gathered unto the Lord that which was His own. Death came to her in the evening of a well spent life, a life combining character, virtue, devotion, loyalty, obedience and sacrifice. She was ready, for truly she had fought a good fight, finished the course and kept the faith. Sister Gordon was reared in our community. She united with Bethlehem church at the age of 13, and was taken at the close of her 53rd year. Therefore, knowing that He doeth all things well, we, the members of Bethlehem church, in conference assembled, do bow our heads and hearts in humble submission to His will in this loss, and hereby resolve; That we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who "doeth all things well." That we most earnestly regret the loss the community and church have sustained. That we extend our sincere sympathy to her family in this, their hour of affliction. That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our church, that a copy be furnished the family and also sent The Herald and Advertiser for publication. M.A. Jones B.J. Fry Edna T.

We, the committee, appointed to draft suitable resolutions on the death of our Bro., T.W.T. Wilson, we make the following report: Bro. Wilson was born in Coweta county on July 29, 1847 and died at his home in Meriwether county on June 16, 1910. He was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason in Erin Lodge No. 70 on Feb. 22, 1873 and affiliated with Haralson Lodge in 1879. He was a Past Master at the time of his death, always presiding with dignity. Bro. Wilson was a Christian gentleman, an excellent neighbor, a faithful friend, an honored Mason and a Confederate soldier, true to his country and an upright loyal citizen, a man who feared God and loved to do right. He was honored and respected by all. He rests from his conflicts and toil in a brighter land. As a Mason he has been called from labor to refreshment in the Grand Lodge above, presided over by the Grand Master of the Universe. He was a devoted husband and father. Be it resolved; That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved family and commend them to the care of the Supreme Grand Master above who "doeth all things well." That in the death of Bro.

He was married to Miss Nodie Jackson on April 7, 1908. A good and useful man has gone from among us. Therefore, be it resolved; That we, the Moreland M.E.

While his demise was not unexpected, yet when the final end came the sad event both shocked and grieved his many friends. He was one of Coweta's most popular citizens, warm and loyal in his friendships and held in high esteem by everyone. He was prominent and active in church affairs, having served for several years as one of the stewards of the First Methodist church. He will be missed in the community and sincerely mourned by his friends everywhere.

She had been in declining health for some time but not until about a month ago did her illness take a serious turn. The long sickness of her only son evidently preyed upon her spirits and as he grew worse, so did she. That she followed him so soon to the great beyond was a dispensation of that wise providence which none may understand and yet it seemed a fitting ending to along and useful and unselfish life. SHe was 83 years of age and a relict of the late John Carpenter, who died several years ago. Her only living descendants are the children of Mr. J.T. Carpenter, whose death is noted above. The funeral took place yesterday morning. --- File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/coweta/newspapers/newspape2579nw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 32.4 Kb
