The Cairo Messenger, Friday, June 11, 1915
Mr. A. J. Donaldson died last Friday afternoon, June the 4th, in the 76th year 
of his age, at the home of Mr. B. D. Singletary near Pine Park in Grady county.

He had been a devout member of the Bold Springs Methodist church for several 
years, and it was in the cemetery at this church where he was laid to rest, the 
funeral services being conducted by Rev. W. J. Hurst.  Here it is that he rests 
beside his wife who had preceded him only a few months.

A large concourse of mourning relatives and friends witnessed the last sad 
rites.  While this tabernacle of clay is no more visible to us, his soul rests 
in the bosom of the Great I Am.

Mr. Donaldson's death was truly a sad one.  He was stricken with paralysis on 
the 16th day of March last and remained in a semi-conscious condition until 
June the 4th, when he passed away.  Not only this, but for three weeks or more.

The relatives and friends of "Uncle Jasper, as he was lovingly called by almost 
everyone, may weep at his death, but not as for one who is dead in Christ, but 
to the world, for he was one who lived his religion and died in the blessed 
conviction, assured that all was well.  He had fought the fight and won the 
victory.

Thus, another Veteran of the Civil War has answered the last roll call, crossed 
over the river and now rests with the army of redeemed ones in the Great 
Beyond, where his loved ones were awaiting him.
