Brogdon was born in February, 1836, and died Nov. 6, 1906, aged seventy years and six months. He had resided all of his life in Fayette County, Ga. As a citizen he was progressive, upright and law-abiding, just to himself, and true to his God and country, always taking an active interest in the affairs of his county and state, and in the civic affairs of his community. He joined New Hope Baptist church August 9th, 1890, and was Baptized by Rev. James Speights, and was ordained a deacon Oct. 1892, by a presbytery composed of Rev. J. C. Camp, Columbus Spier, Joseph Hart and W. W. Walker. The duties of deacon he continued to discharge until failing health prevented him from attending church. He was greatly afflicted for nearly three years before his death. He was a confederate soldier and served through the whole period of the civil war, was a member of Company "G" in the 44th Ga. regiment and was severely wounded in the service. His Christianity was of the faithful, hopeful and charitable kind, which makes one love his neighbor, his family, his church and all God's penitent children. He left a widow, one brother, three sons and one daughter to mourn his death. We hope and believe he has gone to the reward of the just, to live forever in the fellowship of all those whose names are written in the "Lamb's Book of Life." May his children and ours emulate his example in moral character, in faith, hope and charity. Therefore be it resolved, 1. That a copy of this memorial be spread on New Hope church book. 2. That a copy be sent to the Fayetteville News and to the Christian Index for publication, and a copy be sent to the bereaved family. J. S. Thornton, N. G. Walis, W. F. Burdetl, Committee. Adopted by conference, Feb. 2, 1907. W. A. Johnson, Moderator. J. T. Walis, Church Clerk.
